A Service for the Living

February 28, 2019

I want to give a shout out to a new, amazing business I just discovered, Long World Services. They assist people in emptying out a loved one’s home and getting it ready for sale after they have died. They understand that many people prefer to do this task on their own, but that many others would prefer to let a professional handle the details, especially if the home is a long distance away.

Long World Services also posts lots of helpful videos on their Facebook page on how to approach this daunting process if you’re tackling it on your own. The tone they set is straightforward, helpful, understanding, but not patronizing or sugary. Here is the link to their video, What to Keep When Emptying a Loved One’s Home. (full disclosure: they briefly mention my quilts when discussing what to save or discard)

Take a look and pass it along to anyone who may need this kind of support.

From Lori’s Notebook

  • Ann’s Life of Compassion and Giving

    Ann’s daughter Lindsay approached me some months ago to inquire about having three memorial quilts made in remembrance of her mother – one each for her father Stephen, her sister Kim, and herself.

  • Jason’s Diamonds

    When I create a custom quilt pattern for a client based on the things they share about their loved one, my ideas for the design can sometimes percolate slowly, or they can present themselves in an instant.

  • 2022 Graduation Quilts

    My Graduation Quilt Project hit its pinnacle this year with the largest number of graduates in a single year, one of which included my son, Lee.
