While working with hospice patients, Kimberley Robb found a way to help them tell their life story. She created RetroScripts, a meaningful method of preserving your precious memories—or the legacy of a loved one—in a beautiful bound hardcover book, with stunning images. RetroScripts features Alzheimer’s or Dementia memory books, Life Legacy books, Birth and Milestone memory books, Family Legacy books, or Wedding and Anniversary memory books. Kimberley takes great care in customizing every book to reflect the unique life of each individual. They can include music or audio clips—which record your loved one’s story, in their own voice, for eternity.

When a friend is in need, everyone asks, “What can I do to help?” The answer is always to make a meal. When many friends make and deliver a meal, this is called a meal train. Meal Train is a system of organized meal giving around a significant life event, such as the birth of a baby or a death, based on contributing one meal from one person per day. Participating in a Meal Train is free. Mealtrain.com includes a free shared Meal Train calendar and provides answers to questions such as: What do they like? When are they available? What have they already had? Are there any allergies? When should I drop off a meal? To organize a Meal Train, identify a friend who could use a little support and enter their name, email address, and where to drop off meals. Enter your friend’s food likes, dislikes, allergies, and the best dates and times to drop off a meal. Add an optional Donation Fund to increase participation. Invite friends, family, congregation members via email, Facebook, twitter, newsletters, and more. Invited friends respond to the invitation, sign up for a date, and take a meal. For a one-time $10 fee, Meal Train Plus coordinates organized support which includes multiple meals per day as well as rides, childcare, housework, dog-walking and more.
