The Power of a Story - Kennedy in His Own Words

As Senator Edward M. Kennedy was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetary, his legacy could be seen in his family, friends and the nation touched by his 47 years of service in Congress. I watched the services held for him but also, like many, I saw the HBO special Kennedy: In His Own Words. The Kennedy Dynasty began in the years after World War II and Senator Kennedy carried on that dynasty for his entire life, flaws and all.

It is important that all of us tell our story in some way. I work with my clients to do just that, create their legacy. All of us have a unique life from which others, especially our family and other loved ones, can learn and benefit. The Kennedy's have not taken their story to their graves but have documented it in ways that we all can reflect. I venture to say that estate planning was a top priority for this family. At the time of death of each respective family members questions of having a will or taking care of those left behind were NEVER raised. It was done, no question!!!
