    Josh, What you have made avail­able to me is remark­able. I have not viewed any VHS in 15 years. A large per­cent­age of the loved ones & friends in my tapes are gone. These tapes cap­ture some of the years of my life I was the hap­pi­est I’ve have known. Expe­ri­enced full range of emo­tions includ­ing laugh­ing out loud often.

    Oh my gosh.  I finally looked at the tape you tran­scribed to DVD of Michael in his first 8 months.  I have never seen this footage before. It was mind-blowing. I was glued to my com­puter for 2 hours! So I found some more tapes. I clearly need to bring in the rest. Thanks Katheryn.

    Thanks again and so you know, you and your staff are so incred­i­bly gra­cious, and the cus­tomer ser­vice that each of you offers is so sin­cere and spec­tac­u­lar. The cus­tom cal­en­dars have been a hit across the com­pany, THANK YOU!

    Leslie, Kimpton Hotels and Resorts, San Francisco

    Thanks so much for all you did to put the book together, and make it look so great! My par­ents were extremely touched, and were very impressed with the work on the book.

    My wife thinks I’m a hero for putting our China trip book together in time for Christ­mas. Lit­tle does she know how easy it was.

    Steve, San Francisco

    I used my Memento Book to pro­pose to Naomi– and she accepted! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great work from long dis­tance, and thanks for rush­ing the job. The next time we’re in San Fran­cisco, I will bring Naomi by to say “Hi!”

    Paul, Santa Monica

    Our mother loved her book. We gave it to her as a fam­ily. She kept it by her bed until the day she passed away. We wouldn’t have got­ten it done in time with­out you guys!

    Jennifer, Newport Beach

    It was the best gift I ever gave. It was easy, and it cost less than some other gifts I’ve given that had less impact.
