letterwishes
Not so long ago, one of us was reading an article online that she thought her father would like. She found herself starting to forward it to him; unfortunately, he passed away about 11 years ago. It really startled her that a) she momentarily forgot and b) she couldn’t send him the article! We realized that it might be great if people could send emails to people who have passed away or otherwise cannot be contacted by regular means. We created letterwishes to help make that possible. This is a website allowing people to send emails to lost friends and relatives.
