I am putting a memorial on myspace of my mom, who died 2 weeks ago. I am putting her obituary in there also. My question is should I take out last names or leave them in? When it says daughter of "John Delphos Jones" and "Mary Jean Jones" would it be weird if it said "daughter of John Delphos and Mary Jean"? and when it says "survived by children" would it be ok to just list first names and not whole names? (Should I put mom's last name on there also?)

The reason why I want to do this on myspace is because 85 % of my friends and relatives go on myspace so why not.

I am sorry about your mother. Losing your mother is tough.
You are wise to omit last names, who cares if it "looks" weird. Protecting yourself is never wrong.

Why would you put a memorial of your recently deceased mother on MySpace? MySpace is a social networking website, used mainly for entertainment purposes. A memorial on there is just an invitation for flamers and hecklers to leave insensitive, irrelevant and silly comments. You should've just gotten some free webspace from one of the many servers out there, and created and designed the memorial yourself. And if you don't know any simple HTML or web code, most are equipped with simple site editors anyway.
But since you already put it up on MySpace, I'd say to leave the last names out. More than likely, the people whom you'll be inviting to see the memorial will already know who she is, so including surnames is unnecessary.

It would be o.k. to leave the last names off. You never know who is going to be looking at that and want to steal and identity these days. Whatever you want to help. I think this is a wonderful way to express yourself about your Mother. I hope you feel better soon, time heals.
(As for the identity theft, my Dad died 25 years ago and we got a doctor bill from some doctor he never even went to when he was alive, let alone after he was gone. So it's been happening a long time and is even worse today. So just be careful) Take Care.

Tom would not truly function MySpace anymore. Hes extra like a mascot. Like in Japan truly of Tom its Ozzie. yet theres no way they'd understand if somebody died. perhaps after its been inactive for 5 or so years. yet MySpace hasn't been out that long.

you can do whatever makes you feel comfortable. i would say not to put last names or places because of safety and stuff. i'm sorry for your loss but a myspace page is a wonderful thing to do to help you heal.

Don't put personal information like that on the web. We had a friend of ours get robbed while she was at a funeral because she made it overly known she would be away during the funeral!

This memorial is really for you. other people might be interested but last name wont mean any thing to them. for privacy sake don't use last names. sweet of you to show love for a lost one.

it's totally up to you what you feel comfortable with;
make the space private if you want to include last names and invite the people you want to be friends from that space
i did the same for my late husband who I met on yahoo like 9 years ago; i thought it was fitting since we were both all about the net but i deleted our old profiles from yahoo; one of my step-sons and i worked on it together; he lives in cali and i live in tx; brought us closer together and it was theraputic; sorry for your loss
