Forget-Me-Not Books
Where every life has a story worth telling and a memory worth preserving
"A Done-for-you remembrance book"
The closest
thing to hearing
them again
Forget-Me-Not Books gathers the memories, photographs, and hidden stories that family and friends still carry after someone passes —and shape them into a beautiful memorial book that keeps their voice, humor, and presence from being lost.
It starts with a conversation
beyond photographs
Pictures preserve faces. Stories preserve a person’s voice, quirks, choices, and the way they made people feel.
These memories live in different people. This service gently gathers them into one keepsake.
Unlike other services, we encourage you to many contributors.

stories almost forgotten
Here are just two stories shared that the participants had nearly forgotten.
Dionne's Story-Peanut Brittle
I haven't thought of this in a long time but, Pop-Pop used to take me downtown to get peanuts for peanut brittle. He used to make peanut brittle in the fall and he would take me with him to get the peanuts. We would park the car and go into the store buy two bags of peanuts. He would get a big bag to make the candy and a little bag for me. I remember the peanuts came in brown paper bags. When we got back in the car he would poor out half of my bag. "You don't want to make yourself sick." I would eat the peanuts in the car. When we got home his voice would drop low and he would say, now brush all those crumbs off your clothes. We don't want the other kids knowing you got a treat. "They should have gone, huh Pop Pop!"
Joseph and the Nephew's Story-Spaghetti In the Park
Auntie was the best. She would always see that we had fun things to do. One day she packed us all up and took us to the local play ground. She had us take turns pulling the wagon. which had something in it that was wrapped in towels. She would not say what it was though. When we got to the park, she watched us while we played When we were ready to go home for lunch, she pulled out plates and napkins and opened her pot of SPAGHETTI! We were like whoa, this is weird, Auntie. She asked, "have you ever had a spaghetti picnic before?" Of course the answer was no from all of us. We had the best time eating spaghetti in the park. She taught us that you don't have to do what everybody else is doing. You don't have to be like everybody else. You can define your life. We were young when she taught us that lesson but for me, it was a guide in life.
Sadly, no one lives forever.
But, you can keep their story alive.
You can share who they were for generations
if you choose to.
If you wait, those memories will fade away.
