    Thanks for organizing an incredible event. Everything was well organized, and the vendors and visitors were great. Let me sign up to be your first vendor for the September 29 show. You have my full support and confidence, and I think what you're doing is such a valuable resource for our community.

    Thanks for including BON in this day of gathering! I would have liked to stay for the entire day but did most certainly enjoy the time I did spend. Looking forward to future endeavours together.

    I felt like you brought together an inclusive, open-minded group of people and created an environment where it felt safe to be candid. Everyone was welcoming. There was a nice mix in that there were more traditional businesses (funeral homes, insurance, etc.), and others that explored areas that in the past have been more stigmatized or not discussed. From this experience, I am definitely interested in participating in the next one. You have a gift for connecting, and I'm grateful you reached out after seeing my book at Alternity.

    I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful event. Congratulations on a fantastic day! It was a great way to bring together like-minded, caring, compassionate, and passionate individuals for the greater good. Building a stronger future for end-of-life and grief services truly shone through the Expo. I’d love to be a part of future Expos and help however I can. I'm excited to hear about the plans for the next ones in September and November.


    Thanks again for a great event!

    Thank you so much for creating this expo, I think it was a huge success! It was busy nearly the whole day, which is an impressive accomplishment, especially on such a beautiful spring day. Overall, I thought it was really well done.

    The wonderful beginnings of what can only be described as desperately needed. The Legacy Expo was the perfect mixture of perspectives. The speaker's series was a perfect amount of time to get to know your fellow vendors, without getting a bunch of sales pitches. I am definitely looking forward to the next one!"
