I Didn't Get Told
My sister set up pages for my mum and dad. Now it's all lost, every message, candle etc - even photos we'd shared! Why have they not even archived this so people could pay for at least screenshots or prints? Have they archived it or just thrown everyone's memories in the trash? I'm so upset!
I didn’t get told either! My grandad set up a page for my Nan (his wife) years ago. He’s passed now and was the only thing that gave me comfort. Just tried to search for it to find it’s completely disappeared!? Heartbroken!!!
Absolutely Discussed
Financial reasons? I’m owned several websites over the years and it doesn’t take much to leave this page online forever. If you truly have money problems on a site that has so many emotions connected to it then you should have at least ask for donations to keep it up and running. Or some way for loved ones to help out. Donations, go fund me page from time to time, ask for admins to help with the time spent on updates ect. I could go on and on. Enough people on this site would have pulled together and helped to get it done. I know I sure would have. Truly sad. God bless all that have those that lost pictures and priceless testimony from others about love ones.
Thanks for sharing this information.

Is There Any Way Of Being Abe To Retrieve My Memorial Page
I have just attempted to find my late Grandmother's page that I created in 2013, only to learn that the website has supposedly closed down due to financial issues? I am devastated as I've lost all my comments, candles and the beloved photo of my dear Grandma. Is there any way of being able to retrieve this? Surely this information should be archived??
Hello you might be able to find it by using the Wayback Machine
Me too lost only copies of sons pictures
Where;s The Sight Gone !!!!

No Respect For Peoples Memorials
Used the site for atleast 15 years, had memorials i,d write tributes and poems for. now all those poems are gone because closed down without warning. they could of had some respect and let people collect their data
No Information Of Imminent Closure - Shame On You
Apparently an email went out saying that the site was closing. Well I didn’t get it. My tribute to my grandma is now lost for ever. Thanks for nothing

Absolutely Disgusting
Beyond appalling G.T.S have decided to just remove their whole damn website that thousands of people had memorials of friends and loved ones on. All of this why? Because of “financial reasons” according to their now closed websites notice message!!! Absolutely beyond hurtful. Lost all of my photos and everything I uploaded since 2011 + had been coming on here to view 2 other people’s profile out of rememberence as well !!!! All gone !!!!
Why close a site down that was always free from the begnining , but then decide you then START to want money all of a sudden!!!! You can’t put a price on death, . . just why?!?
gone too soon used to be an amazing place to come and spend some time just collecting thoughts and memories.... now it’s all gone because of greed. I used to love being able to log on and just spend time. Now it’s just non existent. Disgusting and shameful. How heart breaking for all other families too for their loved ones. No respect for anyone but yourselfs.
Where's It Gone
I have been trying all day to visit my brothers tributes, as today would have been his birthday. But all I get is gone to soon Michael Jackson lyrics. People need to still grieve, how do we get to see, and light a candle now
Well I guess I'm less ignorant on the importance of donations towards a cause I cherish. Even though I'm deeply saddened and disappointed, I'm more enlightened. I hope others who get to read David's post don't just lash out, but learn a lesson or 2 from it. Thank you David for the information.

Again, don't blame them, it's not cheap paying for electricity, server storage, internet bandwidth, server maintenance.. they offered a service and not enough people thought it was worth giving them 1 dollar to keep open.. don't blame them, they set it up and offered it for free, and only asked for a little hello with the funding.. and not enough people had enough if a heart to help them when they needed it.. don't forget, they never had to pay the bill so you could use the site, they did it out of their pocket.. the face and have until they couldn't.. check yourself.. your out of line.. are you mad toys r us because they had to close their store, I'm sad their gone, but you can't get mad because someone wasn't going to pay your bill,. Or wouldn't keep doing something for you that cost them time and money. They did it for you for nothing, and your mad at them for not giving you something.. that's selfish.
Free isn't free, it was free to us, but not free for them, paying monthly server fees, bandwidth fees, yes every visit cost them. And administration fees, some had to design that site, pay those server bills, pay for the electricity those servers used and the rent those servers sat in. And it wasn't free, it was donation.. your donation should have represented how important that sure is to you.. it makes perfect sense that they shut down.. free ha, since when is anything with value free?? They can't keep paying the bill if they can't pay someone to run it, and even if it was one guy, his time it's worth something, you expect him to do the programming, buy the server, get the solar panels to run it, and pay the domain registration, indefinitely? How can you expect anyone to do that, when the other thousand users wouldn't donate to help him cover the cost? Don't get mad at them for closing, get bad at yourself and every other user who thought it was free, but didn't read the user agreement, ignored the pop up asking for donations, and didn't light a candle everything to sort the site. Get mad at the users who used the bandwidth and never did anything to keep the sure running, get mad at the freeloaders, they killed the site, by not giving when it was needed. Blame yourself for not giving every month to keep it running.
Absolute joke that “GONE TOO SOON” is!!! Their apparent reason for them closing their website down is due to ‘financial’ reasons. Why on earth do they need money to run a supposed free.... IT WAS ALWAYS FREE BACK THEN !!! website?! It doesn’t make sense. People like myself who had many photos, candles and comments etc can now not get them back or retrieve them. How absolutely selfish years and years worth of time and effort and memorium to some people’s loved ones (many of us) and it’s all gone to waste just because they wanted money!!!! Why not just keep a free site you made in the beginning... free!!! Why need money for it?! Appalling. Closing down peoples only memories because they have no decided they want to hqv money from it.
What Went Wrong?
The Gone Too Soon web site was fantastic.
But since they 'updated' the website around Christmas time I cannot even get into the website.
This website is too important to ignore. Could management please return the website to its original state so we can access and use it.
I also cannot access the wonderful Gone too soon site.! Please, can you go back to the old website ? It was easy and so comforting to be able to light candles and leave tributes, I also made so many wonderful friends, I really miss them !! Lighting a candle for my son Silvio, gave me such joy and comfort !!!
Please, please, do something !!!! Thank you,

Is there no way we can get our gone to soon pages back ie photos an stuff x?
Can we get our memorials back or emailed as my tributes and candles mean a lot to me and I’m sad I didn’t get an email to say it was closing down?
