Oh my goodness! I don’t know where to begin. Working with Della on this project has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Her attention to detail and organization is incredible. Our family commissioned her to assist us in putting together my mother’s life history. We didn’t even know where to begin, but Della guided the project from beginning to end. She kept us informed about style, layout, design and came up with a book that is such a beautiful rendition of my mother’s life. She is like Sherlock Holmes in sleuthing out the story and timeline. She even went so far as obtaining permission from the Utah Historical Society website to use their photographs of “Keeleys”, the candy shop my grandparents ran during my mother’s childhood. She obtained pictures from cousins and relatives about my mom’s childhood, teenage years, high school, and college that I had never even seen before. She spent days going through journals, letters, and boxes of material that she scanned for the book. Many of the pictures were damaged, but Della restored them beautifully and did such a professional job that you would never know. She put over 300 hours of work into this book for us.
Her attention to color and design is impeccable. There is not one mistake in this book that I can find. We received the book just before Christmas and were able to send it out to the whole family for a special Christmas present. This book truly is a gift that my family, my children, and grandchildren will treasure always. It turned out so beautifully that there were cousins, aunts and uncles, and friends that all wanted a copy. We ended up ordering over 100 books!
When I read the book for the first time, the tears were flowing. I got my beautiful mother back and was able to learn things about her life that I never even knew about. The book turned out to be a masterpiece!
I want to thank Della and Legacy Autobiography from the bottom of my heart for the hundreds of hours you spent on this project and for preserving my mother’s memories. You cannot put a price on that; this project was worth every penny. I highly recommend Legacy Autobiography!
