This is not my original idea, but I think it's a good idea to create some kind of memorial for community friends who have passed. I'm not sure if we should have it as any community member or keep to just the war casualties, which are unfortunately racking up, but thought I'd pass the idea along.

I will be creating an indie. I did not know Vito as well as some other people here, but from what I've read of his past posts and from testimony's, he was a cool and brave person for who he was and for what he did. I will be there to help keep the area respectful and I invite anybody else who feels the same to join me so that Vito's core friend group can enjoy their time in memory of a community hero. I'm sure staff member assistance will be greatly appreciated too.
I hope that either all of us or none of us are judged by the actions of our weakest moments. But rather, by the strength we show when, and if, we're ever given a second chance.
22:00 -> 23:00 SMT Today = Conn memorial
23:00 -> ??:?? SMT Today = Order memorial
The former is for all those who do not have Order ships, or do not wish to make one to honor our fallen hero.
The latter is for all those who do have Order ships, and want to pay respects to him and his Order character.
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
I didn't know the man, but I stumbled across the memorial today and went to find out more about him. I'm sorry about his loss, and the pain it's caused so many at his passing. I'm sure he would be touched to know so many have reached out and kept him in his thoughts.
RIP Vito, may you live on in the hearts and minds of those you've touched.
I sadly missed the Farewell at Conn. But I am Glad that I could drop by the Funeral at Toledo. I am Crying Hard right now as I write this. I wished I had known him better.
