Sadly, Wendy55 passed away on March 3rd, 2024
I have just heard the sad news from Wendy55's partner, Ron, that Wendy passed away on March 3rd, 2024. He asked me to thank everyone for their friendship and contact with Wendy over the years. xx ...

Absolutely, @Cath62 - I actually believe there should be 2 x 'click options' within our profile that we can change at any time to:
1) permission to advise members of our demise once BCNA is made aware of it by a family member
2) Add Dragonfly to our profile as a sign of respect
Initially I thought maybe a question when registering with BCNA - as at that point, the new member doesn't have a relationship with the group & would be unlikely to tick 'yes' ...
Wendy55 was also very concerned about inactive members, particularly in the Mets Private Group - it should be a simple change, to show members from 'joined most recently' rather than as is showing now ...
Checking on inactive members could be something as simple as the Mods sending an email out to those who've been inactive for a year or so - 'just checking on how you are going' ..... and hopefully they would reply - or else a family member may reply, advising that the member had passed away. xx
Many of us have ongoing 'offline' contact with members who have become very good friends & we also socialise and holiday together - many of us have exchanged email & phone numbers, so that we can keep in touch when offline .... and we support each other thru good times & bad.
And having the Dragonfly added to passed member's profiles - shows that WE CARE!
