Legacies Unlimited
is devoted to preserving memories and
memorabilia as literary treasures that
may be shared for generations to come.
In addition to preparing
keepsake-quality booklets and e-books
for friends and loved ones, arrangements
may be made for copies to be donated to
historical societies and libraries for
the education and enrichment of those
outside of one’s immediate family
circle.
“Seemingly ordinary people have often
led the most extraordinary lives. It is
important to take the time to listen
both to the stories they have to share
about their own lives and the
recollections they have of their
ancestors,” reflects Legacies Unlimited
founder Ann Hauprich. “Lifetime legacies
risk being forgotten if such memories
are not recorded for posterity.”
A diverse selection of packages and
prices are available upon request. Gift
certificates may also be secured for
special occasions such as anniversaries,
birthdays and reunions. Be sure to ask
about programs that are designed to
enrich the lives of those in assisted
living centers and nursing homes.
