Preserve a Life With a Story!

PIC The day of our arrival in Lahore, India July 17, 1953.jpg

How do you get your story on paper? Or those great stories your parent or grandparent always tells? And what about the stories they don’t tell, but you’d like to hear? And how do you take those stories, write them in a way that matters, and get them into a great-looking book for your family?

It can be done!!
