Those who knew and loved your son know there was much more to him than one photo and those who didn't know him probably won't search and their opinions don't matter anyway.
My deepest sympathies to you.
My main concern are his two children ages 11 and 16. We figured they would have enough to deal with for at least this year without knowing their dad was an addict. We do plan to tell them in the future when we feel it is the right time. In the meantime, I'd hate for them to find out by accident. I don't really think either of them are really on the computer much at all anyway but it just kind of bugs me.
