Legacy Project
The Gift of Story
How Legacy Projects Honor a Life and Preserve What Matters Most
At Angel Hands Hospice and Palliative Care, we believe every life holds stories worth keeping. Our Legacy E-Book is a digital keepsake created from a patient’s stories, reflections, and photos — something families can revisit, share, and treasure for years to come.

Legacy Projects are about more than remembering facts. They help capture the heart of a person — their humor, traditions, values, and the moments that shaped them.
What This Means for Future Generations
Long after the details fade, a Legacy E-Book becomes a family touchstone. It helps children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren understand where they come from, what their loved one believed in, what mattered most to them, and what they hope their family carries forward.
Who Can Request a Legacy E-Book
This is available to:
-
Any current Angel Hands patient and their family
-
Family members of past Angel Hands patients
If you are interested in creating a Legacy E-Book for someone you love, reach out and we will walk you through the next steps.
