Linda Abbott will present “The Joy of Life Story Writing” at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 28, at the Bonita Springs Public Library, 10560 Reynolds Street, Bonita Springs. Abbott will share tips, tools, and resources to help people to write their own life story, or capture and preserve the memories of an elderly loved one.  Participants also will learn about techniques such as memory sparks and timelines to recall more of the past. “Our memories and stories are the gift of a lifetime to our loved ones that will be more cherished as the years go by,” said Abbott, founder of Never Forget Legacies & Tributes.  “But many people don’t know how to get started, or are overwhelmed by the thought.” There is no cost to attend.
