I’m periodically reminded that not everyone knows everything about what we do here at Ingle Law. A great client might say, “Oh, I didn’t know you did that.” Someone else might say, “Well, I thought you only worked with young couples with children. I didn’t know you could help my Mom and Dad too.” With that in mind, I wrote this article. Rest assured we can help; these are just some of the puzzles Ingle Law solves.

I readily admit that I believe in angels, spirit guides, and the life beyond this one. I know without a doubt that my grandfather watches over me when I struggle. I have daily examples of God’s presence and work in my life.
I’m not alone in believing these things. That being so, why do we refer to the “dearly departed”? Are they really? I certainly don’t think so and I think Debra Murphy agrees. Debra is the principal of Vista Marketing and the creator of Masterful Marketing.
