Tracy, I really want to express my profound thanks and admiration for the way you have handled the administration of my father estate and the challenges represented during this process. It has been a long journey and I don’t believe I would be where I am, not emotionally or financially, without your steadfast determination to see this done properly.
Your integrity and patience has possibly been the only thing preventing the situation descending into despair or farce. I feel you went over and above what anyone would reasonably expect in order to see this through and can’t recommend you highly enough.
Both my wife and I will forever be grateful to you for your support during these most challenging times. Cliff
