I’ve spent my entire adult life taking care of the people I love — not just in the good times, but especially in the hardest moments. Over the years, I’ve been the one who stepped in when elderly family members got sick. I’ve opened my home, arranged assisted living, coordinated with nursing homes, and stood by them in their final days through hospice care.

It wasn’t glamorous. It was heavy, often heartbreaking, and at times, incredibly isolating. But it was also sacred work — because someone had to do it.

And more often than not, that someone was me.

The Family “Grim Reaper” — and Proud of It

My family jokingly called me the “Grim Reaper.” Not because I brought bad news, but because I was always the one asking the hard questions:

• “Do you have a will?”
• “What do you want if you can’t speak for yourself?”
• “Have you written down your final wishes?”

These aren’t easy conversations. But avoiding them makes the hardest days even harder. I’ve seen it firsthand — families scrambling through file cabinets, guessing about funeral preferences, arguing over what Mom or Dad would’ve wanted.

So I kept asking. And listening. And planning.

And over time, I realized this wasn’t just something I did for my family — it was something I needed to do for others, too.

The Birth of My Legacy Binder Business

Out of these experiences came the heart and soul of my estate planning organization — legacy binders that go far beyond paperwork.

Each binder is a roadmap for the people you love. It answers the questions no one wants to ask — until they’re forced to. It organizes not just your assets, but your values, your preferences, your legacy.

I created a system that brings peace of mind to families before the crisis. That gives clarity instead of confusion. That says: “I thought of you, even when I wasn’t here.”

Because that’s what legacy is — love that keeps helping, even after you’re gone.

Why This Work Matters

I’ve walked the road of caregiving. I’ve seen what happens when people are unprepared, and I’ve seen how powerful it is when they are.

So when you trust me with your estate planning needs, know this: you’re not getting someone who just understands the legal boxes to check. You’re getting someone who’s sat at the bedside. Who’s been in the room when decisions had to be made. Who knows the weight of “What now?”

I created this business not because it’s profitable — but because it’s personal.

Let’s Have the Hard Conversation — Together

If you’ve ever been the one in your family who handles the logistics, the phone calls, the paperwork, the planning — I see you. And I built this for you.

And if you’ve been putting it off, hoping “later” will be soon enough, let me gently say: the best gift you can give your family is clarity.

Let’s make a plan that speaks when you can’t. That answers the hard questions. That carries your love forward.
