MyBabbo Began from a Place of Care, Compassion, and Creativity in a time of grief
Every Story Matters.
Here is Ours.
Watch this video sharing the story of how MyBabbo was born.
A Love Story
Born from Grief
Our story began in 2005 with the passing of Mirco’s beloved Babbo, Gino Rossetti. In Italian culture, Babbo is a term of endearment for ‘Dad.’
One year later, when our first child was born, the grieving process really hit Mirco, and the realization that our children would never get to meet his Dad set in. At this time of grief, Tracy created a scrapbook filled with photos that told stories and would keep Babbo’s memory alive.

Three years later, in 2008, Tracy’s 19-year-old cousin, Nick Van Dyk, tragically passed away from childhood cancer. Once again, out of grief and pain, she decided to create a photo book of Nick’s life. The family found comfort when looking through Nick’s photo book and sharing his life story with others. This became an invaluable keepsake, and 23 more copies were requested.
In 2011, we launched MyBabbo, and creating memorial keepsakes has become our passion!
Our Why
It became clear that these photo books were more than a collection of special photos. These photo books told a person’s life story in a way that honoured and celebrated them. Photographs have the power to heal, inspire, and provide comfort to grieving friends and family.
This is WHY we created MyBabbo.
