Online presence of the deceased.

I remember the first time I came across [info]ljers4eternity. It was surreal to read entries of people who were still alive not so long ago. Especially young people, so full of hope and potential.

And I thought about how I wanted to be remembered online. It's strange how you want to have control over everything, even after your death.

I thought about these same things when I came across the Washington Post's VT victims page for Mary Read, a 19 year old freshman with a link to her MySpace profile.

And on Monday evening, a friend of Ross Abdallah Alameddine posted on his MySpace profile:
Rossmo, I love you with all my heart. My one regret is that I never actually told you that.
How would you want to be remembered? What messages do you think people would leave for you?
