February 1, 2009 Dear Kate, It is really difficult to find the words to describe my feelings about the completion of this project. Deep appreciation, satisfaction, elation, praise for the members of your staff and sincere thanks to you all for the hours spent in the final memoir. My sons, their wives, their sons and daughters and their sons and daughters, a total of nineteen at this time will know the how, where, and when this branch of the Lawson family started and progressed up to year 2009 A.D. Once again Kate, thank you Howard B. L.

January 24, 2009 Before my mother’s death I audio recorded a few stories she remembered. It was something; but after she died I wished I had so much more. I had never really known my grandparents and felt a void in my life because of that. When I heard of LifeChronicles it seemed to answer my needs. Thinking I would be leaving a wonderful surprise for my daughter and grandchildren, little did I know how enjoyable it would be for me.

September 21, 2000 I have had the pleasure of two coincidental encounters with Kate Carter, President of LifeChronicles, as a patient. Our conversation drifted off to her passion with her videotaping. It was easy to hear her enthusiasm and dedication, but my own personal role as an Adoptive Mother of three children was also shared. My situation is not the point of this letter but the importance of Kate’s work brought back questions of “What if my children’s birth mothers were each unique. I often wonder if they had had a chance to leave a powerful “heart to heart” message to...

March 22, 2006 Dear Kate, I am sending this donation in honor of my good friend, Lisa, whom I understand you met last week. Lisa is a very dear friend and I have grown a lot watching her face, with grace, what many of us would see as insurmountable obstacles. Lisa told me all about your visit with her and the taping sessions. She had nothing but great things to say about you, and I thank you for all you do and for being another positive force in Lisa’s ever-growing arsenal of weapons. When I first heard about LifeChronicles, I was a little hesitant. I am a communications consultant and...
