“That trip to Alaska, staying in your cabins and having that experience on the Kenai is a beautiful memory that resonates in my heart to this day and likely will for the rest of my life. You folks really made an impression and Neil was Great. May God bless you and your endeavors as you have blessed others with your home.”
