What to expect
Reneé B. Johnson leads this second session, which covers where to place and share an obituary once it is written. The first session reviewed a pre-session questionnaire, explained the difference between an obituary and a legacy letter, and covered how to craft the document. Participants do most of their writing between sessions and get feedback on their drafts.
