- What People Are Saying about the Legacy E-letter
- I appreciate your monthly Tips and Tools mailings and forward them on to my mother. I enjoyed your presentation in D.C. and had my mother begin to draft some legacy tips to me and her granddaughters. Since that time my father developed terminal brain cancer. Your legacy program reinforced the importance of relationships and effectively communicating to those we care about while we can.

- "[Tips and Tools]...thought-provoking invitations to actually sit down and write about current activities and memories that help to form who we are…one of the most meaningful things I read recently was a letter from children to their Boomer parents saying, 'Yes! At last we understand your
  passion for Kennedy and Martin Luther King'... It IS a monumental time, and
  it would be good to give voice to that for future generations. So thanks for the push!!"
