Gift of Forever is a production company that focuses on preserving your stories for the future generations. It was founded by Lee Pham who had a close relationship with his grandmother. Before she passed, Lee visited his grandma in Vietnam and asked her to share her stories. Years later, his niece and nephew attended their own grandmother’s funeral, but were too young to understand gravity of the moment. Lee was inspired to find a means to connect loved ones over generations.

Gift of Forever was one of the best decisions that we ever made! It has been a great experience for our family and the final product is amazing. Highly recommend!
Lisa B.
Being able to see dad play my favourite song whenever I want has been the greatest gift. There is nothing more powerful than hearing him play and sing and also knowing that the grandkids are going to be able to experience it as well.
