Dear Marie,

Thank you so much for our Murphy Album!! We were so pleased with the work that you’ve done. Your creativity and your sensitivity towards our pet were so professionally handled. Thanks to you, Murphy will live on not only in our hearts, but in a visual life book as well. We could have never found the time or the talent to create such a book. We will be sure to refer you to our friends and extended family. Thanks again from all of us!!

It is sometimes very difficult to pick out a special gift for a parent when they can buy anything that they want. I took one look at a sample album that Marie from Per-PET-ual Memories had made and thought that it would make the perfect gift for my dad. His dog, his best buddy, had run away while he and my mom were vacationing in Florida. He had been a stray that our family had taken in 8 years previously. I met with Marie and she took down some information, and I handed her an envelope of various loose photographs. The final product was astounding! It was a complete chronology of our family for the last 8 years! After all, a pet is a part of the family and candid photos show just how our dog was present for every important event in our family. It was also an excellent way for my dad to watch his grandchildren grow from infants to toddlers to pre-teens. He loves the gift and shows it to everyone who comes by. It was definitely worth the money! Thank you, Marie!

Dear Marie,
I want to tell you how much your picture book you made for my husband's birthday meant to him and myself. That was the most perfect gift he could have received. Wishbone meant a lot to us and that was the first dog that we had ever had. When he left it made quite an impact on us. When Don opened my daughter's gift to him you can imagine how he felt. You did such a great job working with the photos you were given to make a family album. Don has taken this with him to show many people. I will not hesitate to have you do another if needed as it is a great memory item. Also I want to thank you for sending a condolence card when Wishbone passed on. That was very thoughtful of you.

Dear Marie,
The book is perfect! Michael was speechless. He couldn't believe how personalized it was. We will treasure this forever.
Thank you so much.

Dear Marie,
Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much Mike enjoyed his pet album. He actually couldn't look at the whole book at the table because he had so many tears in his eyes...Thanks for making it possible for us to give him such a personal gift that meant so much!

Love, Linda, Michelle, Tina, & Leigh

Dear Marie,
You know, about a month ago I found myself looking at an old picture of my 2 departed Pekes, Buster & Billy--and feeling a new sense of loss, as the photo was fading--and I feared my precious memory would as well. They meant so much to me--we went through a lot of tough times together, and they were sometimes, often, my "rays of light" during dark times. Now, I'll have their memories to cherish forever--I have you to thank for that! What a precious gift I received--and what inspired work you did!

With warmest thanks, Michael Schoelch
