A method of communicating a message electronically, comprising:
- storing in a non-transitory memory location computer readable image files, each computer readable image file containing computer readable information based on which a processing computer can direct the display of a burning candle in a state of consumption from a plurality of states of consumption, the states of consumption including an initial state of consumption corresponding to a lowest state of consumption of said candle and a plurality of temporal states of consumption, each said temporal state of consumption corresponding to a state of consumption higher than said lowest state of consumption, and each said temporal state of consumption being different from the other states of consumption;
- selecting a computer readable image file from said computer readable image files based on a time value in a predetermined period of time;
- and
- creating, with a computer, a computer readable file that includes computer executable instructions to direct displaying, by an electronic display device, a memorial message that includes the image of said candle in one of said states of consumption based on said selected computer readable image file.
