“We often hear of tragedies that happen to other people, yet we never think they will happen to us. Last year, just one week after dropping both of our children off at college—the youngest just starting his freshman year, the unthinkable happened. While we were enjoying our first weekend as empty nesters, my husband suffered a massive heart attack.

While we had done a certain amount of planning, nothing can ever prepare you for the sudden loss of your spouse and the father of your children. Along with the obvious emotional grief, I found myself absolutely manic about organizing my affairs so that should something happen to me, my children would not be left to deal with what I quickly discovered is an overwhelming process. Not only was I focused on getting this done, but I wanted it done immediately.

I am so very grateful that I was referred to Cheri Dorsey of Sessa & Dorsey. I reached out to Cheri on a Thursday and was sitting in her office the following Tuesday. Having lost a parent at a young age herself, she understood what I needed and made me feel instantly at ease. In very short order I had a complete estate plan, new will, and advanced directives for me and for both of my children. Cheri also educated me on some estate planning vehicles that I was unaware of and incorporated these into the process.

While the pandemic has added a whole new level of concern in our lives, I rest much easier because of the work Cheri has done for us. Cheri and her team have been incredibly helpful, professional, and responsive, and I consider Cheri not only one of my most trusted advisors but also a friend.”
