Chapter 17. Legacy Wishes: Assisting Family, Friends, and Future Generations to Remember

How we create memories for our loved ones is as individual as our fingerprints. Some may be remembered by a funny story, others by a poem, and still others by a special song. Think of the beauty of the legacies left by musicians George Harrison and Warren Zevon in their respective last recordings. Both rock legends spent their final days writing and recording songs that shared their reflective experiences fighting cancer as well as ballads of love and hope for those left behind. Former Beatle George Harrison’s emotional last album, All Things Must Pass, includes tributes to God, pronouncements of love, final goodbyes, and a lesson in “The Art of Dying.”
