  • I received the bookmarks in the mail. I am very happy with them. I really appreciate your help in being able to word it in my own way. The funeral director we had totally rushed us and I hated the way he wrote it. All of us are very pleased with the ones from you.

  • When my sister asked me to work with her in creating our Dad’s bookmark, I resisted. I thought it would hurt too much. I found it to be the opposite. As we went through the selections, we remembered some wonderful family stories that had been forgotten. We laughed and we cried as we created a bookmark that fits our Dad.
