hello friend,

I’m Christina

This site was created because after my father passed away, my mom had asked me to help create something we could share with family and friends, and I wanted to take something off of her plate. Yet, I could not find a memorial website service that was personalized or as unique as he was. I wanted to share who he was in an elegant and personalized way. Being a web designer, I decided to make it myself.

I found a deep sense of healing and warmth by collecting the pictures that captured his life best and the quotes he loved most. Another beautiful benefit was creating the contact page, where people who loved him could share their memories via email in a private manner. We found that everyone felt much more comfortable sharing memories via this form rather than in a public setting, such as a Facebook post. Even months later, we get emails from his memorial site, filling our day with love. My mother appreciated how the website was a place to re-direct condolences and an easier way to share his passing with former colleagues and friends. Giving her that peace of mind was a wonderful gift.

The reception from his memorial site was instant, as others who lost their loved ones wanted to know how to create and share their memories online.

This experience made me understand that there are so many places we search for connection. There are stories of strength, humanity, kindness, and resilience around us.

Everyone has a story, and these beautiful memories should continue even after we are gone.

You will learn that during the most challenging times in your life, someone else will understand precisely what you are going through. In addition, by creating an online memorial for your loved ones, you will also find a connection with your friends or family who are grieving. 

So, in honor of my father and mother, I warmly welcome you to The Memories Remain.
