In this engaging episode, public relations maven Bonnie Upright shares the legendary story of how her mother's self-penned obituary went viral following its publication several years ago. Bonnie talks about a well written obituary and some of the lessons we can all learn from her mother's beautiful composition. Bonnie also addresses her mother's helpful "death binder" -- a must-have for any family navigating the details of a loved one's passing. We think you'll takeaway some valuable information from Bonnie's insight and experiences. #GrandPlans
