Why I created Legacy Letters

Some of my best childhood memories are from time spent at my grandparents’ farm. My Grandma Red and Grandpa Bart played such a huge role in my life—those visits to the farm were filled with adventure, love, and moments that, at the time, felt ordinary but now feel like treasures. I remember jumping on hay bales with my siblings and cousins, Easter egg hunts, my grandma making her famous popcorn balls and extra-special pretzels, and my grandpa’s playful jokes—he’d always say he got all "Holey" after church. And, of course, there was Grandpa’s chair, the seat of wisdom and storytelling, where it felt like an honor just to sit.

But as much as I remember the stories, the laughter, and the traditions, there’s something I can’t get back—their voices.

I would give anything to hear my grandparents one more time. To hear my grandma guiding me through her recipes, step by step, like she was right there in the kitchen with me. To hear my grandpa’s jokes in his own words, with his voice full of life. Mostly, I would have loved to give this gift to my mom, who misses her mom so much every single day.

That’s why I created Legacy Letters.

This service isn’t just about recording a video—it’s about capturing a voice, a presence, and the emotions that make a person who they are. It’s about giving families something they can hold onto forever, something that brings comfort, connection, and even a little laughter in the years to come.

I would give anything to hear their voices again, to listen to their stories in their own words. That’s why I created Legacy Letters—to make sure no one has to wish for ‘one more conversation. Let’s create something that lasts beyond a lifetime—something your family can cherish for generations.
