High profile entertainers like Fawcett and Jackson have been well documented. But what will our grandchildren know of our parents and grandparents if we do not act today?

Dallas, TX (Vocus) June 27, 2009

The Priceless Legacy Company CEO Peter Gudmundsson issued this statement urging people to use the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett to serve as reminders for the importance of approaching life story preservation with a sense of urgency. In the midst of superstar mortality, Baby Boomers are discovering that they and their parents will not live forever.

"The deaths so close together of such popular generational icons should serve as a 'wake-up call' reminder" said Gudmundsson. "We cannot delay taking steps to preserve our heritage and legacy without risking the severe disappointment of our loved ones who will survive us.'

Fawcett and Jackson represent to two primary kinds of death experiences not just of celebrities but of regular people too. Fawcett's was a long expected death as a result of terminal illness. Jackson's was unexpected and shocking. Both losses are comparable tragedies, but it is sobering to consider how many regular people and families, faced with the same expectations, fail to act in preparation for either scenario.

"Our parents and grandparents are the real celebrities of our lives" said Gudmundsson. "High profile entertainers like Fawcett and Jackson have been well documented. But what will our grandchildren know of our parents and grandparents if we do not act today?"
