So I friended someone from my high school on Facebook, and was accepted - but she's dead!
I went in to say hi, and her wall was full of people remembering her, plus details of her (recent) memorial services, and an obituary. I guess whoever has access to her account accepted it.

It was a very strange experience. I did the best I could to write a nice memory, but it still freaked me out somewhat.

1. I know a guy who commited suicide a couple of weeks ago and
now his face keeps popping up as a friend suggestion. It is weird. NEver popped up while he was alive. I didn't even know he was on FB.

2. OK, that's way worse.
I guess my classmate's family's way of getting out the news is as good as any (especially since they don't live in our home town anymore), but getting a suggestion from a suicide is worse.
