Preserve Your Family’s Stories

With Family Love Letters, you’re giving a gift to a family member and to your children and future generations.

We’ll create a heartfelt letter with your family member’s stories and perspectives.

The best part… I take care of everything!

“I couldn’t have done this without you.” –Lynn S.

“It was with great pleasure that I sent my letter to our three children. It represents a memory that will last for generations.” — Oscar S.

 

Do you value family deeply?

If you’re looking for a meaningful, clutter-free gift that won’t add time to your already busy days, Family Love Letters offers you an opportunity to celebrate and honor your loved ones while creating lasting connections between the generations.

I take care of all the steps, from explaining how it works to your family member, interviewing them, writing, editing, and sending you the final version in a beautiful package.

Here’s How I Create Your Family Love Letter

You don’t do a thing!

Step 1 • Introduction

I talk to your family member about the process and schedule our phone interviews to capture their stories.

Step 2 • Conversations

Through a series of thoughtful prompts and in-depth conversations, your family member will have their most precious memories, values, and intentions preserved.

All they do is show up for our calls & I take care of the rest.

 

Step 3 • Receive Your Letter

You receive a beautiful, timeless gift for the family, both original hard copies of the letter (and a digital copy) making it easy to share.

Your loved one’s letter is the gift that keeps on giving, to both family today and future generations for years to come.

 
 

“Thank you for being an instigator of the wisest thing I accomplished all year!”

—Laura S.
