Definition of a Legacy

Definition of a Legacy

What is the definition of a legacy? We compiled some words to help you think about that. A legacy is the impact someone’s life had on others. It is a life story, built and lived, with intention to influence those they love.

Many lives touched, leaving lasting memories.

Just as our hands have a unique fingerprints, so do our hands leave an imprint on those around us. Your life is a time in history to share your love, voice, smile, talents, passion, and gifts. ­­­­­­ ­­­­

Just as this tree was planted decades ago by someone, so you can sit on this bench, in shade, and reflect on life.

Cherish those gone, because they left a piece of their life as a gift that is irreplaceable.

Life is so precious. A legacy is making a real difference in the world. Make every moment count. Remember your favorite times together.

Lessons left that time cannot touch are passed on to you to treasure forever. Keep the memories alive. The love, laughter, and stories will always stay with you no matter where you go.

During this time of remembering, think about your own life journey. What will you be known for? Love, memories, and a legacy never ends. You have value. Share it with the world, leaving a legacy that truly has meaning.

Where life begins and memories never end. Where life ends, a legacy begins.

Life + memories = legacy.

A legacy begins before a life ends.

Reaching out to you, leaving a legacy in hopes that you will remember

– the laughter

– the love

– my smile

– the stories

Carry on these memories in our family. Leaving you a gift to impact

Create a legacy. Celebrate a life.

Time is fleeting.

Once a moment is gone it can never be retrieved.

If you could take an hour and sit with anyone in your life, who would it be?

What would you talk about?

What questions would you ask?

What stories would you tell?

Time is fleeting.  That hour would pass in a moment and you would be left alone.

Alone with the Legacy of the person you chose.

A Legacy of Love.

Take an hour . . . Capture that moment.

Once a moment is gone it can never be retrieved.

If you could take an hour and sit with anyone in your life, who would it be?

What would you talk about?

What questions would you ask?

What stories would you tell?

Time moves on.  That hour would also pass in a moment and become a part of history.

You have the Legacy of the person you chose.

Take an hour . . . Capture that moment.

Till we meet again . . .

Time is fleeting.  It is like trying to grab a cloud or like reaching out to touch a loved one on the other side of destiny.  It is always just outside of your reach.  Time is contained by no one.  Once a moment is gone, it only exists in our memories.  This Legacy Time Capsule will save a moment in History to be shared with future generations.  Remember the laughter, the love, the memories, my smile, our stories.  This is the (my) Legacy
