Thank You Scott, I have a will but no family. No Medical Power of Attorney. One thing I am sure of, I will be donating my body to a medical school because of the A.A . and lack of interest and it's cause. It means so much to me that others will not endure what I have and many others. I don't know what to do with my Antiques, Jewelry, ETC. Someone did my Ancestry, 5 volumes, so much. My Uncles Purple Heart, Medals, Letters from President Rosevelt, and of-course His American Flag. I can't count on anyone. Some times I can't sleep thinking about all this but especially my Sergeant Uncle Sam. I will probably pass before my husband. Hope you re doing well

Hi @kimspr3 As a genealogist and our family historian I understand your concerns. I might make a couple of suggestions for your consideration. There might be a local or county historical society interested in the family materials. Or maybe the branch of the military museum of your uncle.

Also, I know from my wife’s experience arrangements for medical body donation needs to be arranged in advance due to several scientific-based issues. Just a heads up in case it helps.

You mentioned your household goods. Maybe donate them to a charity via your will?

I am doing well and appreciate your kind wishes!
