WRITING
LEADright helps grieving families by writing obituaries and supports busy school leaders with speeches, letters, and more. We produce well-written communications that make our clients shine. For more information go to WRITING. A Testimonial: We were amazed by Dr. Burks' ability to capture and express the true spirit of our mother's life journey with the limited information that we were able to provide during this difficult time for our family. The obituary was not simply a resume or bulleted list of life facts. It was a meaningful tribute to our mother and the impact that she had on her family, friends and community. We view this as a historical document that can be shared for generations to come... - The Smith/Trawick Family |
