To all of you who answered my question re: Classmates.com issuing and apology, she has been dead a yr.?

I live in the Southwest and could not get back east so I was thinking of what I could do for the family. Contacting C-Mates.com about her passing was the right thing to do.

If this happens to you and your family I think you would be angry too. She has been dead for over a year and they are just getting to posting her updated bio now, don't you think that suspect? How are they operating and why wouldthere be such a long delay? I think you are missing the big picture on this one.

Some of you who answered should take a lesson in etiquette.

    Well, personally... if my child passed away... updating some profile on the computer wouldn't be any where on my mind... let alone near it! So... as far as etiquette goes, you should try some.

    Not sure why this is in MARRIAGE & DIVORCE but, why is it suspect ? I think YOU are the one missing the big picture. It is not the responsibility of the web site to update the information. And updating a school web site would be the VERY least of my worries with the death of my child.

    I think you are looking WAY too much into something that is nothing. Drop it and get on with your life

    P.S. I noticed this is not the first time you posted this question and in the other question the deceased in question was your sister and you were not happy with the answers you got. Iʻm sorry for your loss but, posting the question again will not get you the answer you WANT to hear

    It’s not their fault that nobody notified them. I’m sure they’re not checking the obituaries to see if anyone on their website is deceased. I’m VERY sorry for the loss of this person but again, it’s not Classmates.com’s responsibility to find this information on their own.

    This doesn’t have much to do with etiquette. And as someone else said, why in the world would deleting your deceased child’s site be at the front of your mind? When your child passes, I’d assume your life sort of stops. Thankfully I have never dealt with this and I pray that I never have to.

    Again, I’m sorry for your friend’s passing.

    How sad that you have wasted time and energy on this. Your sister would NOT have wanted this. Classmates.com is hardly the venue for posting an obituary or memorial. There are several more acceptable places for a tribute as well. You are wasting your energies on this crap, when you could have made a donation in her name to medical research or a charity she loved.

    Also...this is marriage and divorce.....

    Apparently Classmates.com is the last thing on the family's mind. Why would you think it's suspect? Quite frankly, old school chums would be the last people on my list of informing of a death in the family.

  • Are you for real? How about instead of contacting them about her passing - you get your butt to the flower shop and order some flowers for the family. Or how about you get your butt on a plane and go see the family when she passed, instead you worry about contacting classmates.com about her passing?

    P.S - when I die - will you update myspace???????? I really want my "friends" to know I died!!

    BTW - the true friends would already know she passed because family would have called them - the ones on classmates.com didn't keep in touch anyways.
