A dear friend was diagnosed with cancer and your site gave all of us a personal opportunity to show our love.
… your website gave a lot of people who couldn’t travel a chance to “be there” for my parents’ 50th anniversary.
This is such a great way to honor our CEO in his
retirement!
My husband just came back from the war –he was
moved to tears more than once by the letters.

… a wonderful website. I bet you make a lot of people happy.
… the best thing I’ve seen in ages!
… this site has made us all look like really thoughtful people.
… it brings a much needed old-world feel to relationships.
The album of letter is very, very touching
… some of the letters moved me to tears.
