When each of us passes on we probably want to be remembered in the best way…for all our good deeds. I’d like to be remembered for having a caring heart, loving animals unconditionally and for being the best person I knew how to be. I’d want ppl to know that even though I’ve made mistakes, I’ve learned from them and that I’ve done what I thought was right at the time. What would you like ppl to remember about you? What have you learned through your life that you want others to know? What kind of person do you think ppl will remember you as? [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

I want to be remembered with my sweet smiles to everyone, being friendly, caring and loving. Willing to listen and always understand. Sharing even a little of the goodness and greatness of God.

I don't know what people will remember me for. Perhaps my warped sense of humor or my sarcastic wit. But, I have no doubt that many will remember me as a way too skinny guy that wore extremely loud clothing

I'm probably gonna offend you and I really don't mean to but I always thought you were a female...I guess b/c you've always got spiked womens shoes in your avatar. No worries though, I still think your an awesome member [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

No worries, my friend. Very little offends me and being thought of as a female because of my avatar certainly is not one of them

Hey twoey! I would hope that people would remember me for being the best friend that I could be. I try to be the best person that I could be always. I have helped people that I have known in my life without expecting anything in return. I am also an animal love and have loved and tried to help animals and loved all my own unconditionally and taken care of them to the best of my ability. I know too that I have made mistakes throughout my life, but I hope that I have fixed the most of the wrongs and made them right. I hope people will remember me for the kind and gentle person that I am and the great sense of humor I have and always tried to keep my friends laughing!

I am trying to live my life to the fullest and understand the purpose of my life. How people want to remember me that really is up to them. If they know me, they will know I love animals, that I am loyal and devoted to friendship and marriage. I want others to know that love exists and loving yourself is a must. This is how I survive all kinds pain and struggles, how I live and decide who or what to love. Some people may remember me as selfish and vengeful, again it's up to the living how they want to remember me. What matters is that I will do my best to those dear to me and those that I feel can't help themselves.

Your response reminded me of something I read somewhere once: Those who know me, know me well, Those who didn't, can go to h*ll! LOL I think those that know you will know what a good person you are! [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Once six feet under the ground, I think people no longer want to recollect memories of you unless you are someone that has done something great for your country, like being a president or some big short. Nevertheless, to my family and close friends I want to be remembered as someone who has a compassionate heart, a mother who have raised successful children, a foster mother who has brought cheers and helped raised helpless children and to all my friends,an irreplaceable true friend that has touched their hearts. These are the things that might bring my spirit alive when I am no longer around.

Very little; I do not think I have made any monumental impressions, good or bad, that will cause my memory to linger except in the hearts of my children. I have not lived in my hometown in many, many years and am not so well known there anymore. Most of my own family save three brothers have already passed on; the newer generation of my family have no idea who I am because less than half of them have ever met me in person. I am not one to hangout or socialize outside my home, and have very few acquaintances. My accomplishments have mostly been in helping others become successful which doesn't give one much time in the spotlight. My life is very untraditional in a most ordinary way. Will I be missed, no, I'll be long gone before most will notice. When they remember me what will they recall most: the fact that they really did'nt know anything about me at all. Ordinary people pass away quietly just as they have lived their lives.

I want to be remembered as someone who made a change in the world, that's why I'm becoming a teacher, and who cared about people. It also wouldn't hurt if people looked back and thought I dressed nicely and had a good sense of style. The one thing I've learned through life that I want to learn with others is life is about learning something new every day, but that only happens if you enter every day with a open mind. I've made a lot of enemies and lost a lot of friends because I don't go with the follow and tell people lies just because it's what I want to hear. So, I wouldn't be surprised if many thought of me in a negative way and/or will be happy if they outlive me.

I want to be remembered as someone who was happy, who worked hard for her family and everything she got, and as someone who had a lot of love to give. That is what I think I want people to remember. I can be happy leaving that behind!

I would like to be remembered as how Maria Montessori, John Piaget, Erik Erikson, Jerome Bruner, Frobel, and other educators are remembered now. Perhaps, a teacher who cared more than what one can learn but how one can live.

A great question. I would like to be remembered for my humor. My way of looking at life. I would like a wake and hope that the people that might attend would have some great memories and fun stories to tell. I hope my family remembers the good time and that there are no hard feelings in the decisions I have had to make down through the years.

Hopefully someone will remember me for trying to love people and do my best.As a mother my skills are being transferred on to my own kids,being kind but fair.Someone who tried to look after herself keeping my hair nice,someone with pride.Not to be to judgemental of others mistakes,as mistakes are something we all make.I always say well the mistakes been made ,now lets make it right and it is very important how you do that.Also what you learn from those mistakes.Someone who had a sense of humor and enjoyed life the best I could.I always say to mine ,life is not a dress rehearsal ,you are only here once.Most of all I would like my nearest and dearest to always remember that I loved them and how it important it is to love and give love is the best gift you can give anyone.

i will try to be a person having a caring heart but i don't really care whether i will be remembered at all . Yeah of course it's good to be remembered especially by the ones you love . But it's hard to please everyone and just enough to be a good self .
