The Gift of a Lifetime

Family stories are among our most precious possessions. They help us understand our values and traditions. They affirm our connection to one another, comforting and inspiring younger generations. And they broaden our perspective, helping us appreciate what makes a fulfilling life.

When we create a permanent record of a family member’s life, we honor the teller and leave a wonderful legacy for generations to come. What a treasure for a child to discover: a book written by a relative who may not have known him, but who thought enough about him to share the memories and insights of growing up. It’s a way of holding hands across the years, a gift that will be appreciated  time and time again.

	Give your loved ones a gift they will treasure far more than any object you could buy.

	Provide inspiration for future generations facing their own challenges and hardships.
	Set the record straight about confusing events and feelings.
	Enjoy reminiscing and exploring the patterns in your life.
