isa Engleson didn’t
have any warning. Her
husband, George got up
early for an appoint-
ment, went into the
bathroom to brush his teeth, but never
came out. Lisa heard a loud thud as her
husband hit the floor. In total shock
and dismay, she knew instantly that she
was facing the hell of her life without
her best friend and trusted partner.
Now fear and panic about her future
felt overwhelming. She was petrified.
Without George’s income, would she
have to move? How would she make
ends meet? What taxes were due and
when? Were their finances even in
order? She had no idea where to look
or how to even start.
One of the biggest obstacles people
face when a family member passes is
finding and acting on critical informa-
tion such as final wishes and arrange-
ments, financial accounts, wills, house
maintenance records, etc. Combine
these “necessary” tasks with the strong
emotions and uncertainty that occur
when a significant other is lost and it is
a recipe for extreme stress and even
more problems.
It’s situations like Lisa’s and the deep
concern for planning for his own family
that prompted Harris Rosen to create
the My Family Record Book and the ac-
companying free app. Having run a suc-
cessful company with over 600,000
s q u a r e
feet of fac-
tory space,
Rosen is a
g e n i u s
when
it
comes to set-
ting up meth-
ods to locate
a n y t h i n g …
and so the
book and app
were born.
My Family
Record

complete step-by-
step resource that

organizes:
final
wishes & arrange-
ments, computer information and pass-
words, estate planning documents,
employment records, insurance poli-
cies, tax records, retirement accounts,
government benefits, real estate records,
