“I am so grateful we went through the recording process with Courtney before my Mom's Alzheimer's progressed further. Having my Mom's strong and confident voice sharing stories of her past crystalized in time is a precious gift. When I listen to the finished product, it is a reminder of who my Mom used to be and how I know she wants to be remembered. Courtney was so patient and kind and put my Mom at ease through the entire process. Courtney is so talented at teasing out sweet stories from her clients that turn into gems for future generations.”

“We hired Courtney to record personal messages from friends and family members as a wedding gift for our daughter and son-in-law. The variety of fun stories, thoughtful wishes and words of wisdom on love and marriage created a unique and priceless gift we hope they will enjoy for many years.”
~ Cara & Tim Swank
“It was amazing to hear my dad and his three sisters share their stories about growing up, my grandparents and great grandparents. Now my own children can listen to the stories I was too young to remember or fully appreciate. These are voices we’ll never forget, telling stories that are too important not to pass on to the next generation."
~ Emily Hayes
“I am sitting in my car, and I can NOT get out because I love listening to this recording of my mom.”
~ Cindy Kerwin
“What a wonderful opportunity to have family history recorded permanently so that future generations will not only have it - but hear it!! It is so easy to let Courtney ask the questions and then sit back and listen. The person telling the stories probably has more fun than anyone reminiscing back in time! Once our family members are gone there is no way to recoup the information that only they know.”
~ Terry Betzelberger
“Recording my mother was the most memorable gift I could have given our family. This was a perfect way to pass her stories on to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Courtney was wonderful and made my mother feel completely comfortable. Thank you for giving us our Mom’s voice...forever.”
~ Gail Dicus
“I just have to tell you that my Sweet Betsy’s Collaborative Recording was the perfect gift. For an hour and a half we just held each other in our arms, listened, and cried throughout the entire series. As each new voice came on, I could sense her visualization of that person. It was a very special moment for Betsy and me. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your wonderful rendition of Betsy’s crazy life through your stories. After 37 years of marriage, Betsy deserved a gift that was truly epic and you delivered on all accounts.”
~ Ed Holland
“Mom had a great time remembering and recounting her many fun stories. Thank you so much. You were very nice to Mom and did a wonderful job guiding her through the sessions.”
~ Tim Stepp
"Without a doubt, the recording I have of my Grandfather is priceless. The process was simple, warm, and professional. I feel a sense of relief knowing we have this recording of my Grandfather. Our family will cherish this for generations to come..."
~ Debbie Coe
“Courtney made us all feel very relaxed and comfortable and she offered helpful suggestions for our recordings. She was a very warm and professional facilitator. I experienced a very rewarding recollection of my life. It was pleasant to think back on the happenings of my life.”
~ Marilyn Swope
“When our Heritage Committee decided to start an oral history of our church, we were fortunate to find Courtney. Her expertise in interviewing and recording memories from the early days of our beginning is a treasure for our archives. We actually have the voice of our founding pastor telling how this church came to be! The recording is done in a warm and inviting atmosphere, which puts the interviewee at ease. The finished product is one to be proud of and is now being enjoyed by many in our congregation. I highly recommend Courtney to help you record your history.”
