Record your story before it’s too late

Mary Huntsman has recorded a lifetime of stories on video

All too often precious family memories are lost when a loved one dies but a new company on the Central Coast is out to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Your Story records important family memories before it’s too late, so your loved ones can always be with you.

The company turns life stories and everlasting messages into video so family histories can be preserved and people can connect with their loved ones on a deeper level.

Your Story was created by Coastie Derek Abel.

When his sister passed away a few years ago, her family and friends shared stories from her past.

Abel saw first-hand how these stories helped everyone come together and overcome the grief of his sister’s death.

They opened the door to a more meaningful relationship with his loved ones.

Abel took it upon himself to help other families record their history by creating Your Story.

The business was created by Derek Abel

It was his way of ensuring that not only his children but everyone’s family would know where they came from and how important family history can be.

The latest person to have her story recorded was 98-year-old Mary Huntsman, who lost her husband almost 50 years ago and is long-time resident of Legacy on the Central Coast.

She has 11 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren and her story is full of vivid recollections of the events she has lived through.

98-year-old Mary Huntsman had a lifetime of stories to share

She witnessed the bombing of Sydney Harbour during World War II.

She crossed the Sydney Harbour Bridge the day it opened to the public.

She has lived a full life and had many stories to share.

Now that her recollections have been recorded by Your Story, her family can treasure and share them for decades to come.

Your Story offers several video packages to suit everyone’s needs, with recording options both in person and online.

The team can come to you or you can visit them in their studio.
