“Everybody loved working with Romy. She is gifted at connecting with people and drawing out their stories…”
“We hired Romy to create a Legacy Book when our founder and CEO passed away. Tom was a visionary leader and an extraordinary mentor. We wanted to do something to save the gifts he left behind: the values he embodied, company culture he created and life lessons he taught. Romy interviewed 30 people. Their stories, which capture Tom’s essence and our company’s history, are incredible! Everybody loved working with Romy. She is gifted at connecting with people and drawing out their stories. The beautiful book was revealed in a ceremony Romy organized on the one-year anniversary of Tom’s passing. We love the book so much that we have one in each of our offices across Canada and Europe. We feel proud that new hires and prospective customers can learn about Tom and CAPREIT’s history. We cannot recommend Romy highly enough. She provided a one-of-a-kind service that was professional, therapeutic and meaningful.”
~ M. Kenney, CEO, and J. Lieberman, Chief Human Resources Officer, CAPREIT
“She is a remarkably gifted story teller.”
“I will forever be grateful to Romy Terkel for the incredible memoir she composed in memory of my late husband Marc Criden. Romy spent countless hours collecting stories from Marc’s closest friends and colleagues. The time and effort she dedicated to collecting these precious memories is priceless. Romy, I am forever indebted to you. What an extraordinary gift for Marc’s legacy, our daughter Scarlett Criden. She will be able to learn about the father she lost at 19 months through these incredible stories you’ve journaled. How lucky she will be to one day read about her father’s amazing experiences both growing up, and as a renown eye surgeon. To thank you would simply not be enough. I highly recommend Romy Terkel to anyone wanting to keep the memory of their loved ones alive. She is a remarkably gifted story teller. A million thanks!”

“I remember you as being very kind and compassionate and understanding especially when dealing with seniors. My Dad was very strong in his opinions and would give women a very rough time but you were able to work with him to achieve an excellent memoir which Dad was so proud of until his passing. The book was written for his 85th birthday and even in September of 2014 when he celebrated his 90th birthday he gave a new found friend from Beth Tzedec Synagogue a copy of his book. When people asked how he had time to do this memoir he said he had a very smart young psychologist record his words and then type up the words and out came this story of his life. It was one of the highlights of his life and you made it happen. I think including things in his book brought back memories and you really got him to put ideas into words.“

“Stan was blown away by the book…”
“Stan was blown away by the book – so much so that he took a pic of each page so he has it with him at all times and can show people. It was a brilliant idea!”

“Romy composed a memory book for my late father. Through storytelling, she was able to capture my dad’s spirit. We cherish our book and recommend Romy’s services for anyone looking to document the memories of their loved ones. Her compassion and kindness make the process of working with her easy, and the outcome is greater than anything we expected.”

“Through storytelling, she was able to capture my dad’s spirit.”
“Even though I’ve heard the stories so many times, Romy was able to uncover new details…”
“I asked Romy to interview my 80 year old parents as a way to preserve their memories for their children and grandchildren. She spent a couple of sessions with them asking questions about key milestones in their lives. The results were wonderful. Even though I’ve heard the stories so many times, Romy was able to uncover new details and layers that presented a deeper level of understanding of their lives. Having captured their voices, accents and laughs is an heirloom unlike any other. Romy’s gifts of connecting, understanding and creating are invaluable”

“She manages to combine caring and sensitivity…with a scrupulous attention to detail…”
“Romy has helped fulfill a wish to produce a beautiful book of stories and photos in honour of my father’s 100th birthday. It has been a pleasure working with Romy. She manages to combine caring and sensitivity in dealing with others, along with a scrupulous attention to detail in her work. It is rare to come across someone with both qualities. If you are considering a project to record and keep memories of a loved one, I would urge you not to hesitate. Make full use of Romy’s unique expertise in this area.”
~ E. Weinstein, Toronto, Ontario
“For anyone wanting to record their life story for future generations, Romy is the person to work with.”
“My grandfather was lucky to have found Romy to help him record his life journey. Now we have a wonderful record of how he became an entrepreneur at a young age plus a memoir to share with future generations. When he passed five years ago, I read his book to my sons and they loved the stories of him as a young boy in Poland. Thank you, Romy for capturing this for us. For anyone wanting to record their life story for future generations, Romy is the person to work with.”
