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
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.
It would be an honor for me to share your child's memories. All of this is completely free.
Starting January 1, 2026, there will be two ways to create a forever home for your child.
Before 2026, I performed all of the activities. Certain groups of people are very comfortable with technology and would prefer to be more involved with their child's tribute. There are others less comfortable with technology, or have less time and would like my assistance. Your child's tribute can also be a cooperative effort. Any of these is perfectly ok, and you can change your mind at any time. I'm always willing to add and make modifications. I have purchased tools for photo optimization, etc., that may be beneficial. If you need me to adjust something, let me know.
First Option (I add/create your child's tribute)
For the first option, where I create/add your child's tribute, here is what I need:
Send all correspondence to: Support@NeverForgetMe.org
Second Option (You add/create your child's tribute)
For the second option, where you do the work, you must first register before adding your child's tribute page. Again, this is all free. See the video tutorial below regarding registration. Once you have registered, log in and return to this page, where instructions on child tribute maintenance will become available (The FAQ page changes depending on whether you're logged in or not).
While there is no requirement to have an account on Never Forget Me, there are several reasons why you may want to consider having one.

Accounts, tributes, and site access are completely free
Starting mid-2026, I have switched to video tutorials v.s. text/read tutorials. I feel this will offer the highest value to understand how each feature works, as you'll see the demonstration. If you have further questions or would like further clarification/instructions on a particular topic, please reach out to me at support@NeverForgetMe.org
Starting January 1, 2026, as a parent, if you register on Never Forget Me, one of the benefits you'll receive is the optional ability to create and modify your child's tribute page, so you can be more involved in the process if you'd like. As mentioned, you have this ability, or if you'd prefer, you can leave it up to me, or it can be done cooperatively.
Video Tutorials/Instructions
To help make your experience better, I have created video tutorials on the following topics: Letters To My Child.
