WE LOVE OUR FAMILY LEGACY BOOK!

"I am so happy to have gotten my book done. I gave each of my kids and grandkids their own copy. Our book is special because it is a tribute to my husband Ken who has already passed on. With this book, we will both be in the lives of our great grandkids forever! Thanks Cory and Heirloom Films & Storybooks!"

— Velma Tutte

"My mum and dad were both so happy because they got to contribute their own writings. The finished book is absolutely gorgeous. We mailed it out to family members all over the world! It was easy to work with Cory."

— Celine Cassidy

"I so loved how Cory was able to pull together all the different parts of my mother and father's story and weave it all together. It's been thrilling to give this book to my grandchildren, nieces and nephews. I think my mother would be proud!"

— Pamela Gooch

I am really proud of my book "Riding with Hope and Resilience". Cory worked wonders on making the words flow and the stories jump off the page!
