We Remember the Stories
Years from now, it won’t be
the dates you remember most.
It will be the one liners
he always repeated,
the biscuits and gravy
only she could make,
the traditions that
brought everyone
together.
These are the stories worth preserving.
I would be honored to help you tell them.
The Process is Simple
1. You reach out here,
I set up a time for us to chat.
2. We have a conversation
about your loved one.
3. I write their story,
and send it to you for review.
You’re already doing
difficult things,
we can make this
one easier together

The Story Behind In the Garden
This business began with my beloved Grandma Donna.
When it came time to tell the story of her life, I realized how difficult it can be to find the right words in the middle of grief - and how much those words matter to everyone that loved her.
Looking at my three-year-old son and thinking about what he'll know of his great-grandmother changed the way I think about the stories we leave behind.
Writing her obituary showed me just how important it is to preserve the stories for those who come after us.
Nobody should leave
a celebration of life
feeling like they
knew a person
less than when
they arrived.
See what makes our
stories different.
“That’s my mom.”
— Family of Violet Spiller,
after hearing the story of her life
