2014 – 2024
Dear Buddy,

You were never just a golden retriever –
you were the warmth in every room,
the joy in every morning,
the comfort in every quiet moment.

Now when the sunlight falls
through the window where you used to sleep,
we feel you there, still beside us.
"Mr. Wigglebutt"
Beloved companion of the Hamilton family

Here's how it works

You share the memories. We handle everything else.

1

You share a photo and a few memories

Upload their favorite photo. Tell us their name, a personality quirk, a memory. You can share as much or as little as you want.

2

We write a poem from what you shared

A personalized poem or letter built from the real details you gave us. You preview it, tweak any line you want, and approve it before we print.

3

We print it, frame it, and ship it

Archival paper, real wood frame, professional photo enhancement. Arrives ready to hang or ship directly as a gift.

4

It goes on the wall and stays there

This is the thing they stop to read every morning with their coffee. The thing visitors notice and ask about. Years from now, it's still there.

Why people send this instead of flowers

It goes up the day it arrives. It never comes down.

Every other sympathy gift is gone within a week. This one stays on the wall because every time they walk past it, they feel close to someone they miss.

Every word is actually about them

The poem mentions their name, their quirks, the things only family would know. People read it and say, "How did they know that?" Because you told us.

Still there on the hard mornings

Grief doesn't follow a schedule. Six months from now, on a random Tuesday, they'll stop in front of it and it'll be exactly what they needed.

What you're actually getting

The details behind the finished piece.

Written from your memories

The poem is generated from the details you share. Preview it, edit any line, regenerate if you want. You control every word.

Professional photo enhancement

Every image is color-corrected, upscaled if needed, and optimized for print. Even a phone photo comes out sharp and beautiful.

Museum-quality materials

Real wood frame. Premium mat board. Archival-grade paper rated for 100+ years. Built to last, not to sit in a closet.

Design proof before printing

See exactly what the finished piece looks like before we print it. Not happy? We revise it. No risk, no surprises.

Why this exists

When I lost Littles – my Siamese, my shadow, the one who followed me from room to room and yelled at me until I picked her up – people sent flowers. They sent cards. Every single one was in the trash within a week. Not because they didn't care, but because there was nothing to keep.

I wanted something that captured who she actually was. Not just her face, but the weird little voice she made when she wanted dinner. The way she'd curl up on my chest every single night. The nickname only we used. The specific, irreplaceable things that made her ours.

I couldn't find it anywhere. So I built it.

Every tribute we make starts with details only someone who loved them would know. The poem is written from those details. Then we print it alongside their photo in a frame that belongs on a wall for the rest of someone's life.

We started with pets. Then families asked us to do the same for the people they'd lost. So we built Letter From Heaven – the same care, the same craft, for the humans who shaped our lives.

★★★★★
"My best friend lost her golden retriever and I had no idea what to send. When she opened this and read the poem out loud to her kids, the whole room was in tears. It's been hanging in her hallway ever since."
– Jennifer M., sympathy gift
★★★★★
"I typed in a few things about Oliver not expecting much. When the poem came back and mentioned the way he knocked things off the counter, I completely lost it. It's like someone who knew him wrote it."
– David R., honoring Oliver the tabby cat
★★★★★
"We ordered this after my grandmother passed. The letter read like she was talking directly to us. My mom reads it every morning with her coffee. It's the most meaningful thing in her house."
– Sarah K., honoring her grandmother

What most people send vs. what you could send

The usual sympathy gifts

  • Flowers – beautiful for a few days, then gone
  • Sympathy cards – kind words, but they end up in a drawer
  • Generic memorial gifts – mass-produced, not personal
  • Photo canvas prints – nice, but no poem, no story, no soul

A Still Beside Me tribute

  • Stays on the wall for years – not days, not weeks
  • Personalized poem or letter – written from real memories
  • Their photo, professionally printed – enhanced for lasting quality
  • Museum-quality frame – real wood, archival paper, 100+ year rating

Questions you might have

What if I don't have a great photo?

We color-correct, upscale, and optimize every image for print. Even a phone photo comes out sharp and clean on the finished piece.

Can I edit the poem or letter?

Yes. You see a full preview before we print anything. You can edit every word, regenerate it, or choose from our curated library instead. You're in complete control.

I'm ordering as a gift and don't know all the details.

That's completely fine. Even just a name and photo make a beautiful tribute. The more you share, the more personal it gets – but we'll guide you through it either way.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

You see a full design proof before we print. If the finished piece doesn't meet your expectations, we'll make it right. 100% satisfaction guarantee, no fine print.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders ship within 5–7 business days. We carefully package every frame to arrive in perfect condition. Rush options available at checkout.

Is this appropriate for a human memorial?

Yes. Our Letter From Heaven collection is specifically designed for human memorials. It's a personalized first-person letter written from the perspective of the person who passed – warm, comforting, and deeply personal.
