“Wow! I can’t believe that I just spoke with my dad. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! So much! We’ve made plans to drive up for thanksgiving to spend a couple of days with my dad and his wife. It sounds like he has an amazing life story to tell. I’m so glad that I have an opportunity to hear his story and connect with him while he’s still alive and especially at this time of the year. Again, thank you so much! I have so much going through my head and heart right now that I’m at a loss for words right now, but to say the least you have made a tremendous positive impact on my life… With warmest and best regards and much appreciation.”
