"You're not really dead until there's no one who thinks about you any more." This quote has been attributed to Bertolt Brecht, but I can't find anything that supports that. I do, however, fully subscribe to the thought. Here are some authors who have utilized, or expressed, a similar sentiment:

"Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?"
― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

"We're all immortal, as long as our stories are told."
― Elizabeth Hunter, The Scribe

"So long as they speak your name, you shall never die."
― Dan Brown, Inferno

"All of our ancestors live within each one of us whether we are aware of it or not."
― Laurence Overmire

I hope to do my part, through the posting of memorials on Find A Grave, to further our remembrance of those who came before us.

Feel free to copy any images or content that I have placed on this site. The only goal is to continue to "speak their names", and keep alive the memories of those from the past.
