Preserve Love in Words
The offerings below are starting points to help you imagine what’s possible. They aren’t rigid packages — simply examples to spark ideas. Because every family’s journey is different, you’ll see our work grouped in two paths:
Prehumous (Before Loss) — capturing a loved one’s own words, blessings, and stories while they’re still here to share them.
Posthumous (After Loss) — weaving together memories and tributes after a loved one has passed.
Together, we can create something completely different if you have ideas or traditions you’d like to include. Whether it’s a letter, a children’s storybook, a collection of blessings, or something we design from scratch, your family’s voice leads the way.

Add-Ons & Customization
Every family’s project is unique. These optional add-ons let you personalize your heirloom even further. The most popular are handwriting integration, audio keepsake files, and framed pages.
Handwriting Integration
Because even the way they wrote their name can bring comfort for a lifetime.
With this optional add-on, I can transform a small sample of handwriting—even something as ordinary as a grocery list or birthday card—into a custom digital font using state-of-the-art software.I’ll guide you through submitting a clear photo or scan of any handwritten sample. From there, I carefully digitize the unique curves, strokes, and flourishes that made their handwriting theirs. This allows the final product to feel all the more personal, as if it was truly penned by your loved one themselves.
This add-on is available with all of my writing services.
Can be used for headings, dedications, or special excerpts.
We digitize and clean the handwriting so it blends beautifully with the book design.
Works especially well for signatures, prayers, or meaningful phrases.
Add it to any project for $75.
Audio Keepsake File
Their voice, preserved forever.
Few things are as powerful as hearing a loved one’s voice. With this add-on, the recorded interview is lightly edited and polished into a high-quality MP3 audio file. Families can keep it on their phones, share it with relatives, or embed it into their book with a scannable QR code.
This add-on is available with all of my writing services.
Includes light editing to remove pauses and distractions.
Delivered as a digital file, ready to save and share.
Can be paired with a QR code printed inside your heirloom book (+$25).
Add it to any project for $75.
Framed Page
A piece of their story, displayed with love.
For families who want something more visible than a book on a shelf, a framed page is a beautiful option. Choose a favorite letter, story spread, or excerpt, and we’ll create a ready-to-display keepsake that can hang in your home or be given as a gift.
This add-on is available with all of my writing services.
Options include single-page frames or deeper shadowboxes with book pages and mementos.
Professionally printed and mounted for longevity.
A heartfelt way to keep your loved one’s words visible in daily life.
Add it to any project for $50.
Compassionate Support Beyond the Page
Legacy projects often stir deep emotions, questions, and moments of reflection. In addition to writing and design, I offer optional 1:1 grief support sessions that are faith-rooted and trauma-informed. As a certified grief counselor and someone who has personally walked through loss, I provide a safe space to process, reflect, and find strength — whether you are navigating anticipatory grief (before loss) or bereavement (after loss). These sessions are not clinical therapy, but compassionate, grief-informed conversations: a time to breathe, speak, and simply be heard. If deeper or ongoing clinical care is needed, I will gladly provide referrals.
