Eileen and Bridget – Palos Park Property Sisters

 

Your life story is priceless. So why not tell it through a Legacy Letter, a collection of stories that made you who you are and taught you what you believe.

 

ShareMyLegacy.com is a program created by Eileen to help you easily write your Legacy Letter. It captures your place in history and leaves a priceless gift to your family.

 

Eileen and Bridget came by their love of story honestly. They grew up deep in the Irish countryside. They had no electricity, telephone, or TV; little outside influence. They had oil lamps and turf fires, around which old people told stories; stories of banshees, illegal whiskey stills, fairy rings, oppression, clergy, war, hunger, uprising and, above all, survival. They listened, transfixed.

 

Eileen and Bridget love your stories. You trust them to look out for your best interests, and in so doing, you reveal your needs through story.

 

They learn how you started your business, about losses and successes. You share family secrets. You tell of your cancer, divorce, faith, immigration, adoption, love story, what shaped your worldviews and your lives.

Your stories are as important to your family as your possessions and property. A Legacy Letter includes your memories, values and beliefs, gratitude, hopes and blessings onto the page.

Some excerpts from Legacy Letters:

 

“The stories I have shared here, I could not have shared in my Legal Will. This letter represents so much more than any monetary value I could leave you.”

 

“This family has had roots at Otter Creek since your great-grandpa settled it in 1867. I don’t expect you to keep the farm. My hope is that the house and the 15 surrounding acres be preserved as a family vacation spot. Bring your children to relax, fish, swim, and have fun pursuing life’s simple things, but most importantly, stick together as a family.”

 

Most of us have no idea how special our story is, that it is important enough to be written and shared. Our time on earth is limited. Make it matter. Add the warmth of your voice to your legal documents with a Legacy Letter. This is the greatest gift you can give yourself, and the best legacy you can leave your family. Start at ShareMyLegacy.com.
