Hello from Ohio University!

The campus is buzzing with excitement as another fall quarter begins! It’s always refreshing to see our youngest Bobcats experiencing college for the first time. Watching as freshmen begin a new chapter of life and seniors prepare to embark upon their next adventure, reminds us to not only look forward to our futures but also to reflect on our past. Have I achieved what I set out to do? What impact have I made on people’s lives?

What footprints will you leave behind? Everyone leaves footprints. They are made by the positive impressions our lives leave on others. Thoughtful estate planning is one means that we have to make a print in the sand. We can share our values with children and grandchildren, help others in our community, and leave a legacy for the future.

As you reflect on your footprints, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-592-3863 or bellk@ohio.edu if we can be of assistance by providing our wills kit or information on estate planning ideas.

Sincerely,

Kelli L. Bell
