  • An online Guest Book so friends and family can offer congratulations from near or far

I do not have a password. How can I get one?

When your announcement becomes available online, we will send your password in an email to the address associated with your announcement. If your announcement is already online and you haven’t received an email from us, please check your spam or junk mail folder. You can also request to have your password resent.

Please note: We are only able to create passwords for announcements with an email address on file. If you placed your announcement with the newspaper and did not provide an email address, or believe the wrong email address may have been included with your announcement, please contact the newspaper directly to have your email address associated with your announcement.
