These files and records have become embedded in our lives, and our online activity on Facebook, Instagram and other sites is deep and prolific. Making a comprehensive plan for your digital assets is crucial to guide your loved ones in case of sickness or death.

Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation presents a conversation with Dr. Judy Butler, a certified Pastoral Psychotherapist in private practice, who consults with, counsels, coaches, and trains Baby Boomers and Senior Adults to become “The Guardian” of their own personal legacy and the legacy of their family.
Dr. Judy’s passion for working with senior adults and Baby Boomers grew out of her own personal and professional experiences. After personally enduring the trauma, stress, and frustration of dealing with the healthcare/nursing home system she created The Guardian’s Gift in memory of her father, Harvey Hill who died in 2018. The Guardian’s Gift is a comprehensive program that prepares families for the loss of a loved one.
