Where we love is home, a home that our feet might leave, but not our hearts.

Remembering Home
The only predictable constant in life is change. Change from childhood to adulthood, single to married life, work to retirement, and from one’s family home to a new residential community. The move from a home can be welcoming for some and traumatic for others, as each adjustment involves a period of transition.
From ancient times to the present day, people have made transitions a little easier by acknowledging change with a rite of passage, a ceremony or ritual that celebrates the past by capturing memories and looking toward a future, yet unknown. Structuring a formal or informal farewell helps to frame memories and honors this transitional bridge from one phase to the next.
Remembering Home, a Legacies Transitions program is designed to capture, record and preserve memories as one travels onto the next memory filled chapter.
