Typical Testimonial Letter

Typical Testimonial Letter:

Since we received the beautifully bound, high quality book of our life story, "Still Smiling Through The Years", that you so skillfully edited and published, we haven't been able to put it down. Each time we read through it, it amazes us that the warmth and our true life-purposes were skillfully brought out during the editing and layout process. The captions and
summaries were artfully displayed.

We were delighted that even though some of our pictures were 3rd and 4th
generation photos, the scanner produced them even clearer than the
originals. The dust cover was also beautifully done, a fourth generation
photo.

Our family considers this, our life story, one of our most treasured
possessions. In case of a fire...it will be the one thing we grab to save
for the next generations...it's priceless!

We can't thank you enough for your professional help and encouragement
through this very worthwhile project.

Lost LifeStory of Love

I received a very moving story from Linda Lowen who writes for the About.com Guide to Women's Issues. What a great testament to the need to capture life stories while our loved ones are still alive. Linda writes on a broad variety of topics but she has a passion for helping women in particular deal with unresolved grief.

I regret that I never asked either parent to tell me the true story of how they met.father (an American-born Jew) met and married my mother (a Japanese Buddhist) in Osaka, Japan - her hometown. He was a sailor on shore leave and she, to the best of my knowledge, was a secretary. Different family stories exist about their first meeting. One version says he was exchanging dollars for yen in a bank, and fell in love with her there. Another says that they met at a party through mutual friends.

I thought I had plenty of time to ask them. My mother, diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, lived 18 months beyond her diagnosis, and because she was doing so well I hesitated to ask 'those final questions' because she wanted to act as if nothing was wrong. When she declined, it happened within hours, and she slipped into a coma before I could tell her all I needed to say. My nursing home-bound father, in good health, died two weeks to the day after her death. A massive heart attack - totally unexpected. I am an only child with no remaining relatives who can answer that question. To my lifelong regret, the story of their blossoming love died with them.


I have heard similar stories often in recent months. When we wait too long to ask and record the key stories we stand the risk of great regret.
