No one wants to be forgotten! You can leave your legacy using SilverStories.

I am very lucky to have memoirs for several of my grandparents as my mother took the time to sit with them and quiz them about their intriguing, fact filled lives before they passed on.  I created SilverStories because of my Nan, she was a wonderfully amusing and fascinating character. Her name was Margaret Nepean (1914-2007). You can read my Nan’s memoirs on this website, it’s a great read: http://silverstories.com.au/examples-of-our-gift-ideas
