A gift from beyond, man leaves $ for friends to go on a vacation.

When Roger Brown was preparing his last will and testament, he wanted his friends to know how much he cared about them.

 

Brown, a retired engineer from Swansea, Wales, decided to leave seven of his closest pals 3,500 pounds (about $5,300) with a mandate to go enjoy a weekend vacation together.

 

Having been friends with all of these men for well over 40 years, Brown had spent much time and taken many trips with each of them, so it seemed only fitting to send them on one last trip together as a farewell

Nicest part of this is the who man died, live with seven men he considered friends. Not many can say that.

Just when you thought you had heard everything....what a fantastic idea.

In "Tales of the City", Edgar Halcyon willed Mary Ann money to take a vacation. That cruise starts out the second book.

I drafted a will for a guy years ago with a stipend for friends to throw a big party; it was a generous allowance for them!

When my mother died I inherited $15,000. I used it to take my husband on a wonderful journey. Sadly it was the last trip we took together. But it will remain the most memorable. Money well spent.

My parents did the same after my grandmother passed away and they loved every minute of it, they even visited the small Irish village where she was born.
