A Christmas Gift

Hello, and welcome to this first addition of the our newsletter.

Thanksgiving has passed and the holiday shopping season is at a ferrous pace. I myself haven't even started yet. I am normally one of those people cruising amazon and paying for expedited shipping or rushing tothe mall to grab one last gift on Christmas eve morning.

I'm a practical gift giver to my wife's dismay; just ask her what I got her for our first Christmas together. That necklace with the gem stone pendant she pointed out, aspa retreat she mentioned, those boots she's been talking about? Nope! A vacuum cleaner? Yep Why?? Well the easy cop-out is that I'm a guy and how could I ever know what she wanted. The real reason is that I was not picking up the hints that my wife was leaving for me.

Hmm.... So here I am married to this person and I didn't even know what she wanted for Christmas. Either by my own ignorance or by her hints not getting registered in my brain. I'd go as far to say if she stopped me and said I want X, Y, and Z for Christmas I still may not have remembered.

So where is the teachable moment here? Well for me it was, If you want something it is not good enough just to tell someone. Your wishes should be written out, clearly defined and reviewed regularly. Countless times we help families who are dealing with the loss ofa loved one and that person has left no plan. The family struggles to figure out what it was that they actually wanted. Sure in gift giving surprises are nice, but in my world the greatest gift a grieving family can have is the piece of mind knowing that the

“What did he want” has been written out and is on file and maybe even paid for in advance. You know what you want so why not assure that you get it. Please feel free to contact me at 1-844-906-0263 to discuss your advanced plans.

Oh and to my wife, I really want that new Trek Speed Concept Triathlon Bike.

Have a wonderful and safe holiday season.

Yours,

Corey Strauch

LifeGem diamonds are molecularly identical to natural diamonds found at any high-end jeweler. They have the exact same brilliance, fire, luster, and hardness (thehardest substance known) as diamonds from the earth.

LifeGem diamonds are created individually from your specific carbon source in our patented process.

Whether you've lost a loved one or simply want to celebrate your love, the LifeGem diamond provides a way to embrace your loved one’s memory day by day. The LifeGem® is the most unique and timeless tribute available for creating a testimony to their unique life.
