In Remembrance
in memory
A Tribute to Those Who Journeyed with Us.
Since 1988, Friendship House has lovingly maintained a Virtual Cemetery, a sacred space honoring the lives of those who were part of our programs and have since passed away. This remembrance holds special meaning for those who may have been disconnected from family at the time of their passing. It ensures they are not forgotten and that their lives are celebrated with dignity and love.
This tribute is more than a list, it’s a reflection of their presence in our community and the impact they had during their time with us. Even in absence, their memory remains a vital part of the Friendship House family.
Community Members Lost - 2005-2026
Note *Not everyone on this list was buried in a Potter’s Field. A person experiencing homelessness or houselessness may be unclaimed when they pass away. The State of Delaware will bury unclaimed bodies at one of three Potter’s Fields in the state. This is a way to show loving, support to someone who has passed with no community.
