Bequests
Russell: Anna and I believe that the Garden is truly making a difference. It is important to us to partner with them to further their work. That is why we have made several gifts over the years.
Anna: But we wanted to do more than just make gifts. Russell and I have been careful and have been able to save enough for retirement. We plan to be generous with family, but we also have the ability to be generous with charity.
Russell: After talking it over, we decided to leave a bequest in each of our wills. Our attorney took the simple language available from the Garden and included a nice bequest in my will as well as Anna's. We are delighted that we will be supporting the Garden in this way.
