Summary: Excellent gift
Comment: This book has questions that really get to the center of who you are. It really makes you think
about life and choices. You can learn a great deal about who you are while completing it to be left
to you family. I purchased one for all of our family members to be left to my two daughters. I was
worried people would think I thought they were old and going to die soon (haha) but everyone was
excited about the book.

Summary: Best Thing I've Ever Done Was to Buy This Book for My Great Aunt Mary
Comment: I bought this book of questions for my Great Aunt Mary for her 100th birthday. And like another
reviewer said, some of the questions did not apply to her, but, she did answer quite a few of the
inquiries, and it was VERY interesting reading to see her answers. She passed away last Christmas
at 108 years and 4 months old, and I placed this book out at her funeral for all to read, and
everyone loved it. It had so many wonderful stories and quips to tell, all written in Aunt Mary's
own hand. It made her memorial even more special. I've been given the book back, and will always
treasure it. Aunt Mary and I were always very close, and I miss her very much, but that book brings
back memories... I'd recommend this to everyone who wants to know more about other people. Lee

Summary: First and Best Internet Purchase
Comment: I first bought a copy of this book in 1999 and gave it to my Great-Aunt for Christmas. It was my
first internet purchase. She wrote it in for five years and gave it back to me full of family
history. Although all of the questions did not apply to her as she never had children and didn't
serve in the armed services, she used the extra pages to expand on the questions that did apply to
her.

Summary: The Story of a Lifetime
Comment: I found this book to be a pleasant surprise. I ordered it for my Nana. The cover is beautifully
done, the pages are gold edged, it's a large book, but not fat, and it asks lots of questions. It
divides ones life into sections starting with your memories of your grandparents, then your parents,
your childhood, teen years, adult years, school life, home life, fads, movies, music, hobbies,
marriage, grandchildren, happiest moments, saddest moments, etc. It covers everything.
Unfortunately, my Nana was unable to finish this book before she died of bone cancer. I am still
glad I have it. It's something for her great grandchildren to read since they will never meet her.

Summary: Lots of great memories to look back on!
Comment: I just pulled my book out of the closet, as one of my siblings had a question about our
great-grandfather. My Dad passed away 3 years ago and I so wish I had the whole book with his
comments. It was just a little too late, as he was in poor health, so many of the questions are
unanswered. I recommend this book for every grandparent to fill out and give as a gift to their
grandchildren. It's priceless!
