To be perfectly blunt - this is for those of us who contributed here who've either passed away (as in Locksmith90's circumstance), or are very severely ill with a life-threatening illness that means that they are unlikely ever to return (e.g. GramsJ's case).

This is NOT one that should ever be for active members, nor should it be for those that have left of their own free will, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong - former editor's contributions are considerable. But this is NOT for them - former editors can come back at any time. These people are highly unlikely to. (However, I hope for Grams' sake that she *is* able to - however, she is probably the exception to this rule.

As to the nomination process - that's a little trickier - as it would likely involve contact outside of the site, with family or such to let us know about this circumstance. (This said, if this goes as I hope, word will likely spread, and they WILL start to contact us via other means, because those that were significant contributors here, would, I think, like to see their family member honoured for something that they loved doing.
