Never lose a loved one

"My dad passed away while my kids were very young. When they ask about him, I have only fragments to share—just a few old photos. I would give anything to hear my dad’s voice again. To hear him telling some of his favorite jokes and stories. That’s why we created StorySpan: so you can pass on more than things—your voice, your wisdom, your story." - Chris Johnson, Founder

What Families Are Saying

Stories That Last a Lifetime

No time like the present

I lost my father so young - he was only 56.  His favorite stories and jokes are now lost forever. My children ask about him often, I wish I had more answers to their questions, and more to show who he was than than a few old photos. I'd trade everything left behind in his estate to go back in time and have him use StorySpan.
