The Kelly family vision is an example of a family business where the father had died. His death created many problems not only for the business, but also for the family. The company stock was put in a trust for the benefit of the children. The oldest son was excluded from owning the stock and even working in the business. The trust created a board of directors who hired a general manager, and this created a very difficult process for the son. The family legacy was what drew the family together, and essentially the family was united by fulfilling the father's legacy. The mother's individual vision in the example used here wanted to support her children and the ongoing success of the company as well as the board and her children's wishes.
KELLY COMMON FAMILY VISION
With a generosity of spirit, we complete our father's legacy of hard work by continuing to celebrate his values of loyalty, trust and honesty. We value each other and trust that our dedication to these values will create family harmony and happiness.
Prayer for Loving Kindness May our family be filled with loving kindness May we be well May our family be peaceful and at ease May our family be happy
JOAN'S INDIVIDUAL VISION (MOTHER)
With expectations for good health (till a ripe old age) my vision is to enjoy my golden years with a close relationship with my family and friends, having great joy in this life with a close relationship with my God. I will be supportive on the board of (the business) and to my children's wishes.
