First, I want to tell you how LifeOnRecord is WONDERFUL! The feedback from the people who participated in my mother’s 75th birthday has been and have been AWESOME.  Everyone loves the idea of your company, I love the idea of your company and I wanted to encourage you. Thank you and I pray that you will continue to prosper with LifeOnRecord.

This was a special event for me and my family and LifeOnRecord made my mother's birthday even more special.

This was one of the best gifts my daughter, Chandler, has ever received in her life. In the world today, not many things are meaningful and really make an impact, but hearing Chandler's CD almost made me cry. I had people from 9 different states and 2 from Canada call in and leave messages.

I explained what the CD was about, and she couldn't wait to listen to it. When we got home, she ran and got her CD player and began listening. You could see her face begin to glow. She was soooo touched and she was about to cry. She could not believe all of the people that had called in and left such sweet and funny messages. She then listened to the CD again, and again, and again.

The CD is a gift she will have for the rest of her life and she will always be able to listen to all of the kind words for years to come. Yes, I think letters are great, but to hear the voices on this CD speaking directly to Chandler was amazing. What a great gift !! She has already asked me to do this for her when she gets married.... jumping the gun a little bit - but I think it would be a great idea too.

I wasn't quite sure how this would turn out when I ordered it for my husband's 50th birthday, but I was very, very happy with the result. It went over magnificently and it's something my husband really enjoys listening to.

You were right, there were some things people felt more comfortable recording over the phone than telling my wife in person. It was a terrific birthday present. Everyone who called in thought this was a terrific idea.

A quick note to tell you that this went over GREAT with my sister! When we gave her the CD she was speechless. It was everything I thought it would be. Thank you for all your help.

We all called in and made this a surprise gift for my father's 65th birthday. The CD was nicely packaged in the silver case, and made an impact even before anyone listened to it.

We all listened to the CD together with my father, and it was absolutely wonderful. I learned a lot about my father that I didn't know. My father isn't an emotional man, but I was sitting across from him when we listened to it, and he was clearly moved. This was a great way to celebrate his life so far.

Excerpts from Hearing is Believing, Chicago Sun-Times News Group

As Rick Kerman and his son, Josh, drove home from Wisconsin last weekend, the disc in the car's CD player wasn't playing the latest sounds of one particular group. Instead, their 13-year-old son listened to a variety of voices, some he knew, some he didn't, talk about him, his parents, his family or just about life, in general. One particular anecdote caught his attention. His late uncle's manager shared some thoughts, stories and heartfelt emotions about his uncle Andy, who died in 1984 before Josh even got to know him.

"It was a whole different perspective of information that Josh didn't know about my brother, and that I didn't even know," said Northbrook resident Carol Kerman, Josh's mother. Kerman's brother was Andy Kaufman, the "Saturday Night Live" icon probably best known for his role as Latka Gravas on the TV series, "Taxi."...

..."The stories were poignant, and gave people a chance to reflect," Kerman said of the keepsake CD, which was a gift for Josh's Bar Mitzvah. "In this age, we don't have the time or make the time to do much reflecting."
