At the photolab I worked at for years we had people come in on a regular basis. One of their loved ones had died, and the only photos they had were group photos or sometimes just a driver's license photo. So we would make 8x10s for their wall. It is very sad to think of how many people will be remembered only by their DL photo, or a group shot next to other people.
Every person that has any family needs to have a decent portrait shot of themselves. It does not have to be an expensive one like the OP had. But something better than your driver's license for the family to remember you by.
Many were Olan Mills portraits. We told every one of them, to contact them, and tell them when the portrait was shot, and how long ago. They will provide a copyright release, and then we can copy it. We simply would not copy a photograph with a copyright on it like that Olan Mills stamp.
