Ever Living Memories offers a new kind of answer for the question we all wrestle with… “How do I want to be remembered?”

Through our powerful documentary-style videos, we create “digital time capsules,” offering families the ability to enjoy, share and preserve their most cherished memories and moments for… ever.

"This is our lives"

 

Frank & Gloria Schussler are a picture of Americana. The son of a mailman in a small town in PA, Frank became a mailman himself, walking the same beat in the same town for decades. Gloria was a nurse in the same town for even longer, professionally caring for her neighbors for more than 50 years.

This Ever Living Memories explores their lives together and the love that bonds them and showcases years of family memories through piles of pictures and hours of family movies. 

Capturing Jeanette

 

Watch Jeanette tell her beautifully honest testimony of who she believed herself to be, toward the end of her life but with full agency. Her personality shines through each section, as she walks us through the different folds of her story. “Chapters” allow viewers to quickly return to favorite topics and tales. The full video seamlessly strings the chapters together for a journey that will bring tears, smiles and questions to anyone watching.

Our Story

My grandmother, Jeanette Taylor, was my family’s loadstar — the rock upon which our church was built. About 10 years before she passed – about 5 years before she started experiencing dementia that would steal her from us long before her body gave in –                I encouraged her to tell her story on camera.

Now, our family can watch her and learn from her for the rest of time. Now, my kids get to see who this incredible woman was and hear her stories, in her own words. The same will go for their kids and so on. I simply can’t understate its value to our family.

That’s why I started Ever Living Memories, to share this gift with other families — the gift of a life remembered.
