He was shot and killed one year ago November 10 th. He was 20 years old and the man responsible was not even indicted. His father had him cremated so there is no grave that my sister can go to. I am looking for a way to remember his life and give my sister some sort of memorial of him. Serious answers please.

Mr. Yahoo you are cold and cruel. He was Bipolar and was actually going after his paycheck that a "friend" had stolen, forged, and attempted to sign. He was shot over his own check. One gun,point blank. Thanks for you callous and cold words.

You could possibly "buy" a star in his honour. I know someone who did that for a friend who had passed away. Its a sweet gesture.
I also like most peoples idea of the memory book. Its something your sister can keep.
p.s Mr Yahoo is an @$$hole - dont worry about his comments.

I am faced with a similar problem. I lost my son in July. He was cremated and we now are looking to do a lasting memorial for him. I am looking into having the ashes buried in a cemetery so there is a place to go where everyone can visit. Several people, including his brother think we should spread the ashes in the lake where we live, I am having a hard time with that as his son, he had one boy before he passed, would never have a place to go, if you know what I mean. If you could get the father to go along with you on a memorial of some kind, this would be a good start.
Hope I have helped, if you find something that works well give me a shout we are not 100% yet on a decision.
God Bless!
After thoughts...
We had his pictures made into a memorial on a CD. We planted a tree for his memorial. We started a college fund in his name also. All good things, its just not a place for us to go that will last for ever and a day.

I am sorry for your loss. It is a very difficult experience where the wond is open. I pray to Allah to give you all patience.
So ideas ... I think the best thing to do is to make one of the late young man's dreams come true so that his soul would rest in peace or establish a charity fund, organisation, etc in his name.
I hope this helps. May Allah inspire you with better ideas.
I am sorry for the cruel words of Mr. Yahoo. Forget him. You are too noble to be affected by such silliness.

Susanna Apple-Juice! it is so beautiful... Susanna Apple? Miriam Honor sounds somewhat effective. yet, Rosalie Honor would sound somewhat sweeter. Miriam April additionally has a effective ring. Miriam Jean keeps the initials jointly, this is a plus. Clara Jean is gorgeous. Clara, somewhat fancier, to the casual-sounding Jean. I probable does no longer have the flexibility to call this little woman Clara - i'd could save them jointly... Clara Jean. that's in basic terms that stunning. Eliza Jean has an analogous element, yet Clara Jean is extra lovable. Sonia Melody. i do no longer think of any of the different names suggested fit comfortable with Sonia, yet Melody is comfortable with it. June, like April is a month. June, like Jean is a 4-letter be conscious with a J, N, and E in contact. Miriam June keeps the initials, and is rather beautiful. I additionally like Eleanor June, Sonia June, or perhaps Susanna June. in case you used the call Eleanor... a nickname would desire to be Nora. Nora is likewise a nickname for Honor, this is a roundabout way of honoring your sister! And, somewhat off subject remember: i think of Sonia Rosalie is somewhat melodic. Has a sing-song sound to it as quickly as I say it. My favourite is Miriam June!

If you have pictures of him from birth to adulthood, there are places where you can have a film collage made wher it will circulate the pictures in whatever order you choose and you can pick music to go with it. Perhaps he had a favorite song, or perhaps the mother has a song she used to sing to him when he was a baby that is special to her.You could make a scrapbook for her to capture his life. You could plant a tree in the backyard for him or in a park for him that will grow forever and you will have a constant reminder of him while helping keep the planet green. By the way, I offer my sencere condolences to you and yours for the tragic loss of a loved one. God bless you.

Do you have lots of pictures of him? Maybe an album of him all the way from baby pictures, school pictures, and so on. To honor his life and all the happy times in it that your sister shared with him. It may take some sneaking around to get your hands on the pictures, but I know she would love it. My condolences to your family. I know his loss is still an open wound. Peace be with you.

If you are a christian and believe say a prayer for his peace first, if you have not, in that way you honor him as an individual.
The best way I feel to honor someone is to do something in their honor like a donation or something that immortalizes their name. Something that we alive can see or touch or as well donate time and energy to like a foundation or a charity event, peace..

Dear Sister,
Sorry to know about this and i just want to say that you can do a lot. A son & a daughter are very importent to the parents and kids doesn't even think about them and that's not a good thing and if we lost our kids that's like we lost everything. I am just 19 year old and i think my parents they are everything to me. I love them and they love me and we are happy in our life. If they lost me they will lost something very importent in their lives. I am just a kid for this question. Sorry for that. I can't answer this question.
Bye & Take Care.

Something I've done myself is put a memory album together, ...ask his friends for pictures they might have...relatives
and pictures from uncles, aunts etc...
Maybe planting a tree in his yard....or
get a plaque with his picture, and some heart felt words...
Good luck to you, God Bless You

How about planting a tree in his honor and naming it after him? May sound silly, but it is something your sister can nurture and visit and actually touch. As it grows, you might even add a park bench or something. My prayers are with you and your family.
