Family Stories

"The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you." ~Kendall Hailey

Family; some consider it a gift, but with other relatives you just shake your head and wonder how you could be related. But one thing is for sure, having a family is one of the things that makes life interesting and in most cases, worth living. If you have a close knit family, it is a priceless gift. They are your most intimate friends and there to root for you in good times or bad.

If you are like us, your family stories are dear to your heart. They are your past, your present and your future. They are what make you, you. What is true in most families, is that there are certain relatives that are better storytellers than others. They may be considered your family historians, knowing stories about all members of the family. If you have someone like that in your family, don't wait another moment. Get those stories on video or at least voice recorded. Because once that relative is gone, the stories die. That is why our service at Tears of Joy Video becomes so priceless to our customers. With our family history videos-biography videos-Tribute Video-Memorial Videos-Family Yearbook Videos-Vacation Videos, we capture all the special moments of you and your family so you can share these stories with future generations.

Take a few moments to view or read our contributed family stories. Maybe it will inspire you to contribute a family story of your own. Also take a look at our family resource center, with a list of business that may be a help to your family. Finally don't forget to look at the many ways we can take your pictures and home movies and create a montage that will capture your family stories.

We would like to create your family story.

See what our customers say:
"One of the best decisions I ever made was to hire Tears of Joy Video to create our 'family videos'. Not only did they do a great job, but working with them was incredibly easy! No kidding here... I simply mailed all my videos and pictures and they worked their magic.They did such a great job that I hired them again a year or so later... and I'm basically planning on having them create a new video for us every year or so. Everyone loves the videos, especially our children and it's one of the best investments I've ever made."
