Hello everyone! Hopefully this week is treating you well. If you are anything like me, you might be a member of multiple womens groups on LinkedIn and many other places. You have Facebook, Pinterest, and now Brandergy. How do you get truly connected when you are so connected?
My hope is that this group will connect each of you in a rich, rewarding way.

Racing Toward Diversity Magazine recently interviewed Loretta Fahee...

Should anything be done about asking for donations to help with Funeral costs? 

RTD: Loretta - Welcome to Racing Toward Diversity's blog - Will you tell us a little about yourself and how you came to know so much about this subject? 

Loretta:  I married a Lutheran Pastor on December 28, 1991.  When we married, I had a house in Chicago, had a BA in Criminal Justice and worked for the criminal justice system in Cook County. Although I had a closet full of clothes and enjoyed the “single life”, there was a void. My husband filled that void. 

On May 28, 1993, my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. I was 9 months pregnant. Our son was born on June 21, 1993. My husband passed away on August 15, 1996. He did not have Life Insurance. As such, I can speak to the financial challenges our son and I have endured as a consequence. 

Earlier this year, the Funeral Director of Carter Funeral Chapels in Chicago learned that he was $50,000 in debt to the electric company. The reason, he said, was because he’d performed burial and related services for families who didn’t have Life Insurance and, thereby, couldn’t afford to pay him. He further stated that “it was not uncommon for hats to be passed at Funerals to help defray the expenses”.  

RTD: What type of planning should occur? 

Loretta: Couples should make their Life Insurance needs assessment a joint decision. Single persons should make their family members aware of the existence of their Life Insurance policy and where it can be located, when necessary. Beneficiaries, primary and contingent, should be updated as necessary. 

RTD:  What happens if you don't do any planning?  

Loretta:  When there is no planning, unfortunately, the family will be burdened with the payment of Final Expenses. Moreover, if there is a Mortgage when the primary wage earner passes away and the income of the surviving spouse is insufficient, the house could end up in foreclosure. 

RTD:  What is your recommendation? 

Loretta:  My recommendation is to have a Life Insurance Policy in place, along with a Will. A Life Insurance Policy with a Death Benefit of at least $30,000 is adequate to cover Final Expenses.  Also, know that the younger you are when you get your policy, the less expensive it is.  Additionally, smokers pay higher premiums. 

RTD: How can people get more information and contact you? 

Loretta:  Please contact me at (919) 259-4742 with any questions or comments.

bioZhena's Weblog has has in its running subtitle: Medical consumer electronic device for every woman, and useful for her physician, too.

The following comment appeared yesterday on a post in bioZhena's Weblog http://biozhena.wordpress.com/2008/01/11/about-the-edd-andor-edc-is... :

I was just searching for this info for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top web sites are full of garbage.

Enjoy your day,

Loretta

Loretta,

I have separate spaces for promoting your sites and groups such as the group called "Promote Your Site" and/or "My Announcements".... 

 

There are also groups for finding jobs such as "My Job TIGER" and "AVAILABLE"

 

Each group is findable by searching MyLinkingPowerForum.com

 

I'd like for us to keep "Linking Women" focused on women issues and not site promotion, please....

 

Thank you...

Vincent

Since this group is primarily women, I wanted to make sure that you all knew that my wife and I are Avon Reps.  Many women approach us and say,"I lost my Avon Rep" can you supply me with a catalog?"  Or they show interest in wanting to sell our amazing products.  Be aware, I will not post this comment often, just wanted to get the word out to and reach out to the appropriate audiences.  We can only service those in the United States.  You can also order online at www.youravon.com/mappel or write me at hra246@gmail.com
