What a beautiful story. I am in wonder that kids took the initiative to make sure this man's last wishes were realized. Parents you should be proud, you done well. Kids keep going down that path. Thank you all for being who you are and for giving of yourselves so that an old man (tired and worn) could find peace while here on Earth. God bless you all.

Drew presents a compassionate account of humanity at its best. His descriptive writing style draws in the reader to the heart and place of this story. Well done!

Thanks to Drew the writer from New York Times for a very real and compassionate look at the "Real People of the North Georgia Mtn's."
Well written article and accurate, which is usually not the case with alot of newspapers from an area that usually doesn't know or understand the culture of another. Thanks!
