Frequently Asked Questions

Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul. I find myself searching the crowds for your face—I know it’s an impossibility, but I cannot help myself. - Nicholas Sparks

What Is Never Forget Me?

Never Forget Me was created in memory of our son Calvin James Wartnick who suddenly and unexpectedly passed away on September 03, 2023. We wanted a place where other parents who have lost a child could keep their children's memories alive, while offering a support community of those that truly understand. Don't suffer from the grief due to the loss of your child, alone.


How Can I Add My Child To Never Forget Me?

It would be an honor for me to share your child's memories. All of this is completely free.

Here is what I need:

This site is completely free.



Letters To My Child Instructions

If you register with Never Forget Me, as a parent you will get access to Letters To My Child - an on-line, private diary where you can express your thoughts to your lost loved one(s). Even if another parent with the same child(ren) has an account, your diary is yours, and yours alone (i.e. each parent can submit letters independently and privately). 

There are two visible panes  - a view pane and an entry pane. On a computer monitor, as the screen is much larger, the view pane is on the left side, and an entry pane is on the right side. On a mobile device, as the screen is small, the two panes are vertical, the view pane is on top of the entry pane. The view pane is a read-only pane that displays a previous, existing, entry/page. The entry pane is for either creating or updating an entry/page (explained below). Each entry can have a maximum of 4000 characters. As this much information is allowed, the view pane is scrollable.

  • Navigation is done as follows:
    • < - Go back one entry/page
    • << - Go to the first entry/page
    • > - Go forward one entry/page
    • >> - Go to the last entry/page
    • Clicking "Go To Page", you can supply any entry/page to immediately jump to
    • You can switch to an alternate child (if you have multiple listed on Never Forget Me) by selecting them from the list box. 
  • Creating or modifying an entry/page:
    • To create a new entry, simply type in the empty, entry pane and submit. 
    • To modify a previous entry/page, first navigate to the entry/page (see above). The entry/page you wish to modify should now be in the view-pane. Next, click the "Back one entry/page" link (<).  This action will not only display the previous page in the view-pane, it will "slide" the current page into the entry-pane where you can now update the content (this "feels" natural on a computer monitor as the entry slides left into the entry pane - not so much on a mobile device as it slides down into the entry pane). Any other navigation will clear out entry-pane for a brand new entry. 

Discussion Board Instructions

Here are instructions on how to use the group and private discussion boards. Both features are available on the Account Home Page.

Group Discussion Board

  • To join the group discussions, simply click the  Group Discussion image on the Account Home Page. Once there,  interact with anyone else that may be participating by submitting your message and scrolling through messages submitted by others.
  • Past messages are maintained for 2 hours. You will be unable to view past messages on the same device if you leave and re-join the public discussion (the device keeps track of what was read).

Private Discussion Board

To enter the private Discussion Board area, you must first click the image under the Private Discussion title on the Account Home Page. Then, depending on what you're doing, creating/initiating a private discussion, or joining an existing private discussion, follow the below steps.

Creating/initiating a private discussion

  • To start/initiate a new private discussion, locate an available private room and click the "Start Discussion" button.
  • You will be required to enter a password for the room. You need to remember and supply this room number and password to other members you wish to allow access to.
  • Room reservation lasts for 1 hour.
  • If there are no rooms available, you must wait for one to become available. Check back and refresh the screen periodically to see if a room has become available.
  • If you exit the page and come back before the room has expired, you must re-join the discussion (See below).

Entering/Joining/Re-Joining an existing/in-session private discussion

  • To enter an existing/established private discussion, select the room number and click the "Join Discussion" button. 
  • You will be prompted for the password. If you do not know the password or the room number you must reach out to the parent that initiated the room to receive that information.
  • If you select the room number and it shows the status of Available, the discussion has ended.

Dedicated Tribute Modifications

As a parent, if you register on Never Forget Me, one of the benefits you'll receive is the ability to modify your child's tribute page, that way you can be more involved with the process if you'd like. You can change your child's personal information, their Forever Memory Board text, their dedicated tribute text, their images, and the video URL. The frequency is limited to once/day, and here is how it works.

  • Log into your Never Forget Me Account
    • Click the account icon image at the top right-hand side of any page
    • Provide your credentials followed by clicking the Submit button to log in
  • Click the image under the My Children text.
  • Click your child's ID text (in blue)
  • From here, make any changes you wish
    • Existing images will have a red frame around them indicating they're selected to KEEP. 
    • If you wish to de-select an existing image, tap/click the desired image. The red frame around the image will be removed.
    • To upload new images, click the Upload Image button
      • From here, you'll be able to select multiple images.
      • Limit your selection to 10 or less. 
    • The maximum number of images you can have is 15 
    • Uploads are limited to a maximum of 10 images
    • The video URL must be an embeded video URL. If you don't have one, but have a video, reach out to support@NeverForgetMe.org. Never Forget Me has a youtube account where it can upload the video and supply the necessary video URL to use.
    • At this time, if you wish to make changes to your child's dedicated page songs, I will still have to do this manually.
    • Click the Update button to submit your changes to the queue
    • Click the X icon in the upper right-hand side of the form to disregard your changes
  • The queue is processed once/day, and you can't submit another change request until your change has been processed.
  • The existing information is backed up in case you want to revert back
  • Things can go wrong, and there are risks associated with making changes - though I believe this process to be stable

If you have waited more than 24 hours and your change has not been processed, reach out to support@NeverForgetMe.org.

 Keep in mind that It's perfectly OK if you'd rather I make modifications for you, and I'll be happy to do so. 

Message Board Management

When your child receives a dedicated tribute page, they also receive a dedicated message board, where anyone can leave a message letting you know they're thinking of you and your lost loved one. In the past, I have manually been moderating the messages, ensuring no spam occurs (I have yet to see this, but to be safe, I still moderate). As a parent of Never Forget Me, when you register and log into Never Forget Me, you can moderate your own messages (I will still be reviewing things in case you don't log in frequently). To manage your message board:

  • Log into Never Forget Me
  • Click the image under the Messages text
  • Adjust filters accordingly
    • The Status filter values are: All (The default), Pending, Active and Rejected
    • The time-window filter values are: Within the Past 1 week only (The default), within the past 2 weeks only, within the past 30 days only, within the past 60 days only, and all.
    • If you don't see messages, either there hasn't been any messages yet, or you may need to adjust one of the before-mentioned filters (e.g. Look back 60 days)
  • Click the message you id you wish to review/alter
  • Change the Message Status
  • Click the Update Status button
