Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Isaiah 65:17 ... For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Isaiah, the prophet, tells us the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind in the new heavens and new earth. I suspect what this means is we will not be focused on natural family and friends as we are on this present earth. Jesus will be all to us then. It is likely hard to relate to such for we are so accustomed to human beings.
It makes sense to me that we will not remember this present earth. For if we could remember we would probably notice people not being there and that would bring sadness. But there will be no sorrow nor tears. So I believe our current memories will not come to mind just as Isaiah says. If that is the case, why do we focus so much on those we see now on this earth. Our focus should be on God and what HE wants me to do and say rather than on the people in my life.
Speak truth when we speak ... Truth is salvation ... There is no salvation in lies ... Humans lie to keep from offending people. Lies are of the devil. No one comes to God through lies.

What about those who are not accepted into heaven? Will they remember?
Lk. 16 ... 19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Lk. 13 ... 24Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
In both of the above examples, we see the man in hell did see a glimpse of the man in heaven. This is probably a part of being in hell.
