Legacy Letters / Memoirs

We all want to be remembered. Most of us have a good idea of how we want our loved ones to remember us when we are gone. The best way to tell our stories is in our own words. That's what the Paper Bridges staff is here for. We are committed to building bridges between generations, using your own words. Your life is unique and your stories need to be shared.
