Our Story:

Driven by a commitment to helping as many people as possible capture and preserve their stories and perspectives for future generations, Memories In Writing traces its origins to Lachelle's passion for preserving life stories. This passion was kindled within the context of her mother's publishing company, which shuttered when her mother transitioned to a corporate career—a transition that her mother humorously labeled as "getting a day job."

 

Lachelle's fascination with personal stories has deep roots, stretching back to her childhood. She fondly recalls, "During my early years, I had the privilege of working at my mother's publishing company. Our work involved taking customers' handwritten, typed, or spoken stories and crafting them into completed books. While we engaged in a diverse array of projects, ranging from cookbooks to fiction, I swiftly discovered that my heart was drawn to memoir projects."  While pursuing her master's degree, Lachelle revitalized the family business by modernizing their original "do-it-yourself memoir workbook," which had originally been published in 2004.

 

Throughout her college years, Lachelle volunteered at hospices, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. These experiences not only fostered connections with elderly individuals but also honed the skills required to aid them in preserving their life stories. She reflected, "Bearing witness to my grandmother's transition to a memory care facility profoundly impacted both my family and me. It's heart-wrenching to observe the gradual erosion of her identity as her memories slip away. This deeply personal experience served as the catalyst for the establishment of Memories In Writing, with the mission of offering other families a straightforward avenue to safeguard the memories and priceless wisdom of their loved ones, to be shared with both present and future generations."
