The centerpiece of her discussion is her book Is Your House in Order, as its key components include being as financially fit and sound as possible, including being prepared for the inevitable (death). Taken from her experiences as a widow (as her husband passed away on July 21, 2015), mother, and grandmother, the book provides all with a resource to be utilized in a proactive versus reactive manner.
“My desire is for everyone to prepare for their exit from this earth in a manner that leaves the family in a financial place that is at least equal to, if not greater than, what existed. No one should have to stress during a time of loss or live in poverty due to poor or no planning for the inevitable; I’m sharing my story and experience so others are as conscious as possible in getting your house in order before it’s too late”, Connally states.
