“Thanks for Your Wonderful Product”
Dear CEIVA:

After suffering a very debilitating stroke in June 2002, my mother, who is 90, was left with no way to do her beloved needlework, read or get around with any ease. For 2 years I have searched for some way to make her days more enjoyable. Hurray!!!I was introduced to Ceiva by a friend of my mothers' who monitors her Ceiva hourly. What a great investment for my Mom. Now she gets hundreds of pictures from her family and is thrilled that all day long she has something to look forward to ( every 15 seconds to be exact). As I stated in an earlier comment..."I could sell these puppies for a living!" Thanks for your wonderful product
.
Sincerly,

“CEIVA has been a Life Saver”
"Hi!! Ceiva; my name is TSgt. (USAF) Carlos R. Villarreal and I would like to tell you how Ceiva has been a life saver for us. I have been in the Military for 13 years and have never had a way of getting photos to my parents. To send them pictures I would have to take the pictures, wait for them to get developed and make the long trip from Germany to Texas. My
parents are scared of computers and any new technology. They still will not buy a CD or even want to use the DVD player that I got them for Christmas. So without them wanting a computer there was no way for me to e-mail pictures, until I came across Ceiva. I was kind of scared that my parents would reject the idea of connecting something to their phone line, but they seemed interested. I told my dad to go to work and have someone show him the Ceiva web site, and he was hooked. Right away he purchased the picture frame and was ready to go. He had no complications, the instructions were super easy to follow and he told me that he was up and ready, and waiting for pictures. Once the pictures arrived he immedietly started ordering T-shirts, magnets and mugs. He might of got in trouble with my mom, but she liked everything he ordered. My dad is retired Air Force and is now settled
back home in Houston, Texas with my mom. We are a family of four with me and my younger brother being in the Air Force also. I am currently stationed in Germany and my brother is stationed in New Mexico. With Ceiva we are able to send pictures every day. My parents are still in shock that I can take pictures of my daughter's birthday party here in Germany and my parents are able to see the pictures the same day. It is amazing to them! With me being in Germany I have been able to do a lot of traveling so it makes it easy for me to take a lot of pictures. But I just wanted to say that this product has been perfect for our situation. My parents love it, and we are planning one getting one for my wife's family. IF MY PARENTS CAN DO IT, ANYONE CAN!

Thank you Ceiva for making it easy for us to stay close, even though we are
so far away......

Sincerely

Carlos Villarreal
"The Perfect Present"

Dear CEIVA,

My son called me in December just two weeks before Christnas and told me to take back all of my presents for my mom. Her name was Sara or lovely know as Gramma Holland! Mom had a tough year due to continued illness complications. It was extremely important to make this Christmas as special as we could because I had a feeling these hurdles were huge! I had gotten very normal ''make you comfortable'' presents for her when Scott told me he had found the perfect present for her..... a Ceiva! She was in a nursing home trying to get better to go home so she could e-mail again and get pictures. This Ceiva sounded perfect! Her family was what she lived for and when we gave her the Ceiva she was overjoyed! I don't think she ever turned on her tv after Christmas! Every night, my sister and I changed the pictures and the kids from long distances could also keep her in touch with their pictures too! She loved showing the nurses and aides how technology kept her family close to her! She would wake up with excitement wanting to see what was on the screen! She said it passed some lonely nights! My mom only lived 8 days after that Christmas day but she got so much out of that wonderful gift! Thank you scott for finding it! We used it at her funeral and filled it full of pictures of her special family! Boy that was a wonderful way to share my moms favorite moments! When all was over I put the Ceiva on my table and love remembering my mom! We were extremely surprised 3 weeks later when my mother-in-law in Florida, got sick! We packed our Ceiva and and filled it full of pictures for her. We had not gotten her one because it was hard for her to see. When we got there we hooked it up and she was so pleased! We couldn't believe how nice it was for us to be able to talk about the pictures with her even though she wasn't able to understand who all those nice people were! To our unbelieveable surprise my mother-in-law, Virginia passed away 1 month to the day after my mom! I appreciate the time we had with her and cevia gave us a chance to show her all of her grandchildren! She had 1 day were she seemed to remember them ......we sure were glad we had our Ceiva! We once again used the Ceiva to show her family to all of her friends! And when we returned to used it to show our friends all of those happy memories of mammy! We sure do love our Ceiva!

"Life with a New Baby"
Life with a new baby is filled with lots of fun-filled adventures: stroller rides, trips to the park,
mommy and me swim lessons. It's also filled with momentous firsts, like rolling over, sitting up, eating all kinds of messy foods, that first tooth. With Grandma's CEIVA frame, she gets to share firsthand, and often, these precious and fleeting times from 700 miles away. And . . .  it's easy for mom, and that's important!
   
You see, Grandma and Baby Charley have a very special bond. Because of cogenital birth
defects, Charley spent her first six weeks in a hospital far from home. Grandma and Grandpa traveled across three states to be with us and to help us after she was born. After a needed heart surgery moved us to another state, we spent the next five weeks sharing a two-bedroom apartment with our long-distance grandparents and rallying around Charley. Charley and Grandma did some serious hospital time together and had a unique opportunity to bond. After Charley was released from the hospital and we all packed our bags and headed out separate ways, I realized this time spent with grandparents was a silent silver lining amidst the medical chaos. Upon our return home and the return to a long-distance relationship, Grandma's CEIVA frame has helped her to watch sweet Baby Charley grow from a fragile infant to a thriving "big girl". Grandpa says he often hears Grandma talking to Baby Charley in the kitchen, where the CEIVA frame is parked.  The CEIVA frame helps nurture the special relationship that my mom has with my daughter and that's worth a lot! Thanks for that.

P.S. Charley's Uncle Greg has a CEIVA frame now, too, and he loves it!
