I don't know how to express how wonderful you are and for all that you and your staff did for us. You helped me to reach the next step in my life, and helped my son obtain his family home. He is so proud and I am doing great now, and we wouldn't have been able to do this without your help! Thanks again Terri- Much appreciation.
