Welcome to EternalMemoryOf.com
As you browse through our web-site, you will quickly become aware of its uniqueness.
From its inception on April 7th, 2005, people from all over the world now have the availability of both a virtual and physical vault where they can forever immortalize either a loved one or for that matter, even themselves.
We ensure this by storing all data contained in this web-site on redundant computer servers at multiple locations. The data is also being stored at an offsite location in an environmentally secured time capsule.
Click on the MEMORIAL button on the left of this page and at a cost that is less than most local newspapers charge for a one time 4 line memorial, your loved ones memory will become enshrined forever.
Or, if you choose, you can forever immortalize yourself by clicking on the BIOGRAPHIES section button, also on the left.
In this section you can share with all future generations, the knowledge, hopes, dreams and wisdoms you would have wanted them to live by and learn from.
Did you write poetry, a song or a book that has never been published?
This is now your opportunity to eternally let the future know the real you.
Also, as you browse through the biography section, take note of the unique cross section of the hopes, dreams and wisdoms that people from all walks of life wished to share with all future generations.
We at EternalMemoryOf.com believe that as time marches on, our web-site will become a chronology of how human life has evolved on our planet.
It will be the place where historians, genealogists and students will study and gain knowledge of their heritage for generations to come.
This is a solemn site. One where we can teach, learn and grow from the lives that came before us.
How we came to be:
The story of how our site originated is as unique as the site itself. In August of 1998, I, Stuart Grunther changed occupations and started working at a large electrical contractor as their computer network manager. There I became introduced to one of their employees, the controller of the company, who was constantly having problems with her outdated computer. Though I was not physically attracted to this woman, we always had intellectual conversations and most importantly, she always brought a smile to my face.
One evening while having dinner with my mom, I told her about this woman. With a mothers’ wisdom, my mom said to me, “My son, you are a 48 year old man. Looks are not that important. If she puts a smile on your face and takes away the boredom, I would ask her out on a date.”
That is how on November 6, 1998 Dorothy Patricia Catapano and I became a couple. It quickly became obvious that we were a perfect match for each other and shortly thereafter we decided to spend our lives together. We worked together, lived together and played together 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We were inseparable. I truly felt blessed that with all our time together, ours was one of a calm existence. We honestly never fought or argued. We both agreed that our prime directive would be that we never went to bed with something that was troubling us. This way, we were always assured of awakening the next day with a fresh start and a new attitude. We also believed that even a negative experience was positive, as it had taught us some kind of lesson.
Sadly, in March of 2002, my Baby Baby Dar, as I called her, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and in 3 weeks, she passed on. Needless to say, I was in shock and in a deep depression. I lost my job, because I could not concentrate during the day. Basically I was in a downhill spiral. For 2 and a half years, I prayed each and every night that she come to me in a dream, but not once did I ever remember seeing her in one. Then in early April, 2004, 2 years after she had passed, I awoke in the morning remembering her saying something to me in a dream. Those words, “You will not be alone eternally” haunted me for weeks. It made no sense to me. I could not decipher what she had meant. Then, a few weeks after the anniversary of her passing, I was feeling depressed about how I was not able to afford to immortalize her as I would have wanted to. Some people are able to immortalize their loved one with shrines, yet I couldn’t afford even a simple memoriam-notice in a local newspaper.
It was at that time the idea for this web-site came to me. What better way to ensure that my wife’s memory would exist forever then to use the current state of the art technology available to all of us today? What better gift could I bestow on her family and friends, than to give to them and all their future generations, a place where they could forever go to learn what a most remarkable woman my wife truly was?
I love you Baby Baby, Much, More, Most, All the way up to GOD, And then some! (The words we would alternately say to each other before going to bed.)
This site is my shrine to you!
Love forever,
Stu
