"I was told about this book by a fellow Rotarian who heard Ms. Vestevich speak at his meeting. It is very well designed and makes for a beautiful gift to give to friends and loved ones. Renata Marie created a useful tool to share one's vital information, memories and wishes for all to see so that when they're gone, they're never forgotten and their thoughts and wishes are known to all. Everyone should have a copy to augment their legal Will. After all the Terri Schiavo media attention I woke up to how important it is to have a living Will regardless of your age and write down what you want to happen if you're unable to let others know. Though there may be other books or journals out there for that purpose, Grant Me My Final Wish has to be the best! Renata Marie did a great job putting it together to help facilitate what should be included in the journal and make sure you know what you need to think about now and in the future. Worth every penny and then some! Bravo!" - Michael C. Daniels, CIPA President (Buffalo Creek, CO)

"Words are inadequate for me to express how impressed I am with your book.  It is so beautifully executed - the design, the type-set, and the colors make it a work of art, in and of itself.  The quotations you chose are perfect for each section (young Mattie Stepanek certainly was an "old soul.")  More importantly, your book is a much needed record for everyone. Although I have a living trust which covers many things, that document does not include all the practical items in your book, let alone the personal and emotional responses that you illicit.  Completing the responses in your book will not only be a tremendous help to my family and friends, but it will also be a history and keepsake for them.  Equally important, it will be a thought-provoking journey for me as I go through the process of completing pages. Your book is a most creative endeavor and was written with love, understanding and heart. Your gentle choice of words are soothing, and will make the journal writing a pleasure, not a necessary chore. Congratulations on your award!  I am most grateful for the book and thankful to have people like you in my life!" - Anne Kucher, Retired School Teacher (Rochester Hills, MI)

After receiving your book, I sat down for over five hours reading, reminiscing and writing. With the unexpected loss of five family members and close ones this year alone, your book was a "gift" of insight, appreciation and peace.  Thank you for following your heart - your book put my heart toward a path of healing.
Pamela Barc, Executive Director, Etiquettes Edge

Should be kept next to the family Bible
As an avid reader my interests are quite varied. Like most people once I finish a book I rarely pick it up again. However once in a great while a work will come along that is more than mere entertainment or to fill space in a book case. A work so special it becomes a companion. Something to cherish, to enjoy, to learn from, to make your very own and to pass down to future generations. Grant Me My Final Wish is very different from anything I've read before and frankly I was a bit skeptical. But wow what a surprise. Well written, insightful and detail oriented, "Grant Me" actually grows in value and purpose long after the reader puts it down. A must for every family. It belongs in that vaulted position next to the family bible. Michael Hart Birmingham, AL

Dear Renata:
I'm writing to thank you for the beautiful book you have published and for your personal note that accompanied it! What a truly nice touch!! THIS BOOK is what we all need to help our families avoid confusion and despair. I'm actually a very healthy, happy 58 year-old who plans to be around for decades to come, but I often think of what a nightmare it would be to close out one's personal and business affairs. You have consolidated the entire process with all the details necessary! Thank you for your thorough outline in a truly high quality journal! Our ladies club will be addressing the issue of simplifying the inevitable journey (as you say) at our next meeting and I plan to hand out your materials in case they would like to order your book. I actually found you by searching "final wishes" on the web. Please know that you will be a big help to someone (ME) who thinks they are immortal and does not want to face the issues you raise in your book. You should be on Oprah Winfrey.

Regards,
Susan Fineman, Nashua, NH
