Forever in our Hearts

Remembering Those who Died by Suicide

(Note: Buttons to order form and memorial photos are at the bottom.)

Who is creating the book?

Volunteers from the POS and FFOS groups are working together to get the book published.

(POS means Parents of Suicides. FFOS means Friends & Families of Suicides.)

Who can submit photos for the photo gallery or memorial pages?

Anyone who has lost a friend or family member to suicide may submit photos and order memorial pages. The project is not limited to members of POS and FFOS.

What will the cost be?

The cost is not known at this point. It will be determined by the number of books to be ordered and the number of pages. As soon as we know the cost, we will post it here.

(Some donations have also been sent in - Special Sponsors - and they may help offset the cost a little bit, also.)

What will be done with the profits from the book?

The book is not being done as a fund-raiser, however, if there is any leftover money, the team of volunteers who have been working on the book will make a decision about what to do with it.

Will anyone be able to help design the page for those who cannot design them?

Yes. We have some very talented volunteers who are designing the pages for everyone who needs help. After the memorial payment has been received, those who ordered them will be put in touch with the designer to make suggestions. After the page suits the one who ordered it, it will be uploaded to the memorial page display site.
