So many places where his name appears and with just the stroke of a pen, his name is deleted. His name will be taken off legal papers and documents, but I am so blessed that his memory will live on here on our farm. All 1 have to do is step outside our home and he is everywhere — in the fields, the machinery, the corrals, the cows and calves. The cows that are close to calving are housed in a small shed next to our old milk barn and the barn is used for new borns. They stay for a few days until they are ready to be moved outside. My memories of him are very vivid when I go in the old bam.'At that time we only milked about 60-75 cows. I never did learn to milk.

Recently while in West Valley City a cabdriver decided to not pay attention to what was ahead of him and rear-ended my wife's car. The impact fortunately caused no injury, but the bumper needed to be replaced. My wife and I agree that you couldn't have been more considerate, accommodating and professional. You worked around my crazy schedule ordering the bumper, painting it, waiting until I could bring the car in on a lunch break and then finished the job and had the car ready to be picked up later that afternoon. My wife upon seeing her car after the repair commented about how good it looked and is very happy. I have already recommended your fine business to our neighbors and others and will continue to do so.
