Margaret: It has been a joy for us to watch the progress on your home from Atlanta. My kids have been impacted by the work that their Grandpa and all the volunteers have been doing. The website has been a great way for our family to share in the experience. I know that the buliding of your home has created many fond memories for my Dad as well. Thank you for the part you have played as an owner who he enjoys working with and for! Our prayer is that you and your family will have many years of comfort and good times under the roof of your new home. While we can not participate in the building or the dedication in person we will be with you all in Spirit. God Bless, Tom, Susan, Kimberly, Bethany and Kyle Larkin

Dear Margaret This is to wish you many years of happiness in your new home. I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as Ed Larkin and the other volunteers enjoyed working with you on this project.

Dear Margaret: The house looks FANTASTIC!! We have thoroughly enjoyed watching it's progress as it has grown from a foundation to a home this summer. Watching your home building has been a special pleasure for us, as Ed Larkin is our father, father-in-law, and grandpa! Not only has he used physical labor to build your home, but it has truely been a labor of love for him. He has kept us so up to date on it's progress, as has the website. It has been so very exciting for us to watch the joy grow in Dad, as your home has grown to completion. Best of luck and may your move be a smooth one! Sincerest best wishes, John, Terry (Larkin), JJ, and Stephanie

You're very fortunate Margaret, to have Ed Larkin as your house leader. Many years ago he served with me in Korea and even then it was apparent that he was a great leader, a man of his word, and a man of great compassion. I know you are very anxious to move your family into your new home and I wish you the best of everything in your new world. This will, no doubt, open new vistas to you the likes of which you have never even dreamed about. Good luck, Margaret!
