BRIEF AUCTION
SUMMARY
The winning bidder gets guaranteed OWNER FINANCING … with $769 monthly payments on a purchase price of $69,765.
. . .
This is a NO RESERVE auction . . .
The high bidder wins ... PERIOD !
You are bidding on the
Initial payment ONLY
for this 2.5 WOODED ACRES (LOT #9) AND 710 s.f. AMISH BUILT LOG CABIN (TO BE CONSTRUCTED).
This means that you will have guaranteed financing with NO upfront closing costs.
* * * *
The full purchase price of $69,765 will be paid off by you with monthly payments of only $769
… without ANY up-front closing costs … or attorney fees… or other fees of any kind.
Simple!
NOTE: To keep the amount of the payments as low as possible a 30-year (360 month) amortization has been used with a right by the lender to demand a BALLOON PAYMENT at the end of 10 years (120 months).
HOWEVER: The lender is willing to also allow you to choose any of the following optional amortization periods and corresponding monthly payments … WITHOUT ANY 10 YEAR BALLOON PAYMENTS … all of which will save you considerable amounts over the life of the loan:
A. 20 YEAR AMORTIZATION – WITH NO BALLO0N PAYMENT - $815/mo. = $81,240 saved
B. 15 YEAR AMORTIZATION – WITH NO BALLO0N PAYMENT - $880/mo. = $118,440 saved
C. 10 YEAR AMORTIZATION – WITH NO BALLO0N PAYMEN - $1,040/mo. = $152,040 saved
IN ADDITION: The 12.95% APR interest rate may be REDUCED at an up-front cost of $2,790 per 1% of interest reduction up to a maximum of a 3% reduction.
If you wish to choose any of the above options just let me know and at the end of the auction I will prepare and send you a revised Assumption of Loan, Mortgage & Note Agreement showing the revised amortization period, the revised monthly payments, and the elimination of any balloon payment… otherwise the 30-year Amortization period (with a 10 year balloon) with monthly payments of $769 will remain in effect.

ARE YOU NEW TO EBAY … OR HAVE ONLY A FEW PREVIOUS EBAY PURCHASES?

The minimum monthly payments are set at only $769 per month ... but if you wish to pay more each month you will shorten the length of the loan ... and pay less interest over the life of the loan. (I make less in you pay more than the minimum each month … but you save a ton of money … and the time to pay off in full is drastically shortened.)
INTEREST: Out of each payment interest of .03548%/per days on the unpaid balance (12.95% APR) will be deducted first, with the rest of the payment applied to the principal (i.e., deducted from the unpaid balance).

You MUST respond when contacted to have your bid remain … otherwise it will be CANCELED!

... and payments of less than 600 bucks a month?
. . . And why should you do it now ... while you're still young and healthy enough to enjoy it . . . ?
I'll address both of those questions later ... but, first let me tell you more about me and the land we’re offering at auction.

Hi
I'm George and I have bought two Angelica parcels from Jack.
This man has stood by his word 100% and I would trust
him with my life. I originally bought 10 acres and
later decided to change properties to 10 acres on top
of the mountain. There was a delay on getting a
building permit on the lot I wanted because I needed
to go to a town meeting to request one. Rather than
wait the few weeks I wanted to start on MY schedule.
Jack went out of his way and in a matter of a day or 2
had swapped my parcel and taken care of everything.
Everything he does seems to be for the people who
purchased property from him. Ask any questions of him,
He answers quickly and doesn't make it seem like a
chore to answer you. I've talked to him personally and
find him to be intelligent, personable and will bend
over backwards for you if you treat him with the
fairness and respect that he has earned. Hope this
helps you.
. . . George Mika
The present 2.5 acre parcel that is up for auction is on an extension of a Private Driveway that runs off Sky Ranch Road in the Town of East Otto. Sky Ranch Road is public road and plowed in the winter … and the private drive leading to Sky Mountain Subdivision, to which this land is attached, is an improved gravel road.
To give you an idea of how large 2.5 acres is, it's about the size of a city block ... or about enough area for 16 or 17 normal city house lots … plus we also give you the right to hunt or hike on the remainder of our 50 acres that is unsold … or not posted.
The present 2.5 acre parcel that is up for auction, upon which your Amish built 710 s.f. Log Cabin will be constructed, has about 120 feet of frontage on the Extension of Private Drive off Sky Ranch Road... (See the map in the photo section) …and has a nice area on which to build the 710 s.f. Amish built Log Cabin.
…SO, YOU WILL BE REALLY SECLUDED.
A GREAT LOCATION ! (Location … Location :)
This parcel is in the middle of a HUGE extent of the woods (which shows up on the aerial view in Google Maps at coordinates 42°24'26.2"N 78°44'30.7"W).
If you click on the Neighborhood Profile in that same above DESCRIPTION BOX if will give you tons of useful information ... for example ... the water quality here is much higher than the average for the nation ... and the crime rate is lower ... etc.
This land is perfect for all get-away-seekers, nature lovers, hunters, and snowmobilers, etc. that want to be in the woods ... off the beaten path ... but, still have relatively easy access (by way of a public year-round PAVED road, with electric along it) right up to the Private Drive leading to this land.
The present electric service is right up to where our 50 acres begins … only about 500 feet away from this lot.
Plus, it is only about two miles or so away, as the crow flies, from the first of thousands of acres of County and State Forests.
The closest one being the 1,354 acre East Otto State Forest … and only about a couple miles beyond that is the spectacular Zoar Valley Area. Zoar Valley is very picturesque and has a huge gorge cut through it by the Cattaraugus Creek.
Lake Erie is only about 22 miles away to the northwest … and Chautauqua Lake is only about 35 miles away to the southwest … as the crow flies.
There are many other close by State Forests with thousands of acres of land that you are free to roam or hunt at your pleasure.
We’re starting the bidding LOW... and letting YOU decide the value to you of this property.
All of the photos are taken on this actual 50 acre parcel we own of which this 2.5 acres is part.
Because most of the photos are in the woods the field of vision was rather limited.
This is 2.5 acres of just about totally wooded recreational/residential land … AND to be constructed Amish built Log Cabin.
This is a NO RESERVE auction ... the high bid wins ... period!
But please remember before you bid that, in addition to your initial payment in the amount of your bid ... you will also have ongoing monthly payments of $769.
And that there will be a Mortgage Loan Balance of $69,765.
What do you need to make you comfortable enough to purchase some real nice country land on eBay ?
GUARANTEE :
This land and deal is IS guaranteed to be just as described ….
There is . . .
NO RESERVE !
NO Realtors !
NO Lawyers !
NO attorney fees !
NO upfront fees or CLOSING COSTS of ANY kind
NO extra fees for a Warranty Deed (Warranty Deed is included)
NO extra fees to get an Instrument Survey (copy of part of the Survey showing this lot sketch in is included)
NO extra fees for boundary line Survey Stakes (Stakes are included)
NO fees for a Search (Abstract) (Copy of our Search is included)
NO time wasted running around looking for the “right” deal … or the right land.
All you have to do is decide if you can afford $769/month … and how much you want to bid on the initial payment to seal the deal … WE DO ALL THE REST !
“SAVVY” bargain hunters will recognize this as a rare “OPPORTUNITY”
JUST PAY US WHATEVER YOU BID FOR THE INITIAL PAYMENT …AND WE TAKE CAR OF THE REST
IT'S VERY EASY TO BUY FROM US !
IT'S AS SIMPLE AS A. B. C.
A. Pay us whatever you bid for the initial payment.
B. Pay us at least $769/month.
C. Pay us a flat fee of $800 per year (presently) to cover payment and administration of all Real Estate taxes.
(If you wish we can set up the taxes to be paid in payments along with your monthly mortgage payments, so you do not have any big lump sums to pay for the taxes.)
After you have established credibility by paying at least 12 consecutive on time payments we will transfer the deed (upon receipt of the recording fees) and we will begin construction of the Amish built 710 S. F. Log Cabin shortly thereafter (when the weather permits us to easily start the construction).
At that time, we will then record the deed to you ... together with a deed in lieu of foreclosure back from you to be held in escrow and only recorded in the event of a default by you. (When this time comes, we will also bill you for the recording fees at that time of recording.)
This is far better for you than not recording the deed until the land is paid for in full, as is often done on other financed land auctions listed on eBay.
ABOUT ME AND THE "UNIQUE SELLING PROPOSITION" I'M OFFERING
My greatest claim to fame is that I was an Airline Captain (for the predecessors of what is now known as US Airways) for a number of years. And, instead of buying stocks, I bought land ... lots of it. I’m 83 now (as of last January 5th) ... and it’s time to start sharing some of that land. (Kind of like "paying it forward")
eBay has opened up a whole new and exciting world ... and made of doing business for a lot easier and simpler.
Our intent is to offer a unique way of using eBay to give you an opportunity to own your own little place in the country … away from the hustle and bustle... and the "rat race" of the cities.
And you don't have to worry about the substantial upfront closing costs and attorney fees that are often required when buying real estate...
Plus … we offer guaranteed financing to ANYONE who needs it ...
So if you don't have the right credit … or a lot of cash for a down payment ... or you don’t want to have to jump through all the “hoops” normally required by banks ... or you don't have the substantial legal and closing costs normally required ... then this may be a unique opportunity for you to get started right NOW ... WITHOUT HAVING TO GET A CONVENTIONAL MORTGAGE IN THE PRESENT DEPRESSED FINANCIAL MARKET.
What you've previously done with your credit is of no concern. If you've done good ... congratulations … But if you've made some mistakes ... chalk it up to "the cost of your education". It's what you do from here on out that counts.
As you undoubtedly know, Today is the beginning of the rest of your life. If you give us your word ... keep it ... and we'll both feel good about it ... and have no need to look backward.
GUARANTEE
We want to offer this land to you in such a way so as to reduce your risk as much as possible. Thus, our guarantee . . .
First, this land, and this deal, must turn out to be just as I describe them to be;
Second, we give you a Warranty Deed (at no extra cost to you), which guarantees a good and marketable title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances outside of the mortgages ... not just a Quit Claim Deed as some sellers do ... which does NOT guarantee the title.
We also eliminate all the legal Gobbledygook and Mumbo Jumbo ... and make the transaction as simple as possible for you. We take care of all the legal paperwork and eliminate all the up-front closing costs.
For what it's worth ... our attitude is that we’re dedicated to do whatever it takes to consistently endeavor to make this an easy and peasant experience and transaction for you
We really mean it when we say … we’re truly at your service!
Buying property from us is extremely simple and easy . . .
All you are required to do is pay us whatever you bid... and then pay us at least $769 per month ... all on time ... and that is all you must do.
Outside of what you bid you do not have to pay for anything else up front!
We take care of all the rest up front stuff.
IMAGINE …
Before I get into the specific about the land AND the Cabin ... let’s do a little "imagining".
Well... this land ... in conjunction with your imagination ... can make any of these things ... and a hundred others ... come true.
All you have to do … is ACT!
AND HEY ... HAVING A NICE PIECE OF SECLUDED LAND FAR FROM THE BIG CITIES MIGHT NOT BE A BAD THING TO HAVE IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES ... JUST IN CASE ....
THE LAND ITSELF :
The pictures tell most of the story ....
Many who have won our auctions invariably say that the land turns out to be BETTER than the pictures.
Keep in mind that we took some of these photos in the fall of the year ... so things can look rather different in summer when everything is growing … or in the winter when the trees are bare and there is snow on the ground.
This land is just about totally wooded, but there may be a few small openings here and there in the woods.
If you have a chain saw you can keep it pretty busy cutting a just about unlimited supply of firewood.
This land has varying terrain with a slight upward slope from the west side to the east side.
Sky Ranch Road is paved and plowed and maintained year-round by the Town of East Otto.
The Private Drive is graveled and partially plowed by one of the other land owners that front on it.
There are also woods in all four directions from this parcel.
The aerial view in Google maps at coordinates 42°24'26.2"N 78°44'30.7"W will show the extent of the woods and the surrounding area.
Througho0ut the 50 acres of which this lot is part there is a mixture of many kinds of hardwoods, some of which have timber value, as well as some very large pines nearby that provide thick cover that the big trophy bucks love to hide and bed down in.
There IS ELECTRIC close by along both Sky Ranch Road and the Private Drive right up to where our 50 acres begins … which is only about 500 feet away from this parcel.
This parcel of land is sort of trapezoid shaped as shown in the survey map in the photo section.
The front (west side along the private drive) is 119 feet, the north side is 351 feet, the east side is 450 feet, the southwest side is 501 feet forming a lot of about 2.48 acres in total size … plus you may have the free use of the remainder of our 50 acres that has not been sold or posted.
The survey map in the photo section will show you the approximate bearings and distances, and what the shape of the land look like.
You WILL receive copy of a portion of the stamped Instrument Survey that we had prepared by a Licensed Land Surveyor with this lot sketched on it. And we have placed stakes in all corners and/or angle points of this lot … all this at no cost to you.
This land is VERY private and quiet. So, if you really want to get away from it all, but still have relatively easy access … and be only about 45 minutes (mostly by expressway) from the south bounds of Buffalo ... this lot may be for you.
It is essentially a recreation retreat, but could also be used as a secluded get-a-way, or even a permanent home.
Secluded land like this that is only about 45 minutes away from the south towns of Buffalo, NY metropolitan area is getting harder and harder to find … and might be a handy thing to have in the event of any civil unrest or terrorist attacks.
All the more reason to get some land now ... while you are still able to find land that is so close to Buffalo, NY for such a reasonable price.
And having a place to go in the county if things get bad is not a bad idea…
All timber and surface mineral rights are included and will go to the winning bidder ... forever.
There are three homes on the Private Drive ... but, once you go up the Private Driveway and into the woods, neighbors are nonexistent ... and seclusion and wildlife abound.
There are a number of the lovely hiking/sno-mobile/atv/horse trails in the area.
Most of the soil in the area appears to be moderately well drained and should percolate OK … but, in any case, a sand filter type system can always be approved and built on such a large lot if slower percolation is encountered.
THE INCLUDED 710 S. F. AMISH BUILT LOG CABIN (to be constructed):
Included with this purchase is a 710 sq. ft. custom Amish built Log Cabin that will be constructed as set forth below.
This cabin is our LARGEST Amish built Log Cabin... it has about 710 square feet of enclosed area.
As we also include the following:
GUARANTEED ASSUMABLE EXISTING OWNER FINANCING - Your total land and Amish built Log Cabin Package payment is only $769 per month.
· NO ADDITIONAL UP -FRONT DOWN PAYMENT WILL BE REQUIRED! (However, if you do decide to MAKE AN ADDITIONAL PRINCIPAL PAYMENT OF $18,000 OR MORE construction of this included Amish built Log Cabin will begin within 4 to 8 weeks (weather permitting – or, if not, in the spring when weather permits again)… otherwise you will need to establish credibility by make at least 12 consecutive on time monthly payments before construction will be scheduled and started.)
This 710 s.f. Amish built Log Cabin will have a 12' X 26' first floor with about 7' headroom, and a 14' X 28' loft with about 7’ maximum headroom (The loft is accessed by LOG STIARWAY).
The interior floor of the loft is extended (cantilevered) out about 1 foot on each side and about 2' in front of the first floor enclosed area.
The roof is cantilevered out 1' on each side and 4’ beyond the front wall of the 1st floor and 2’ beyond the rear wall.
There is a total floor space (main & loft) of about 710 square feet.
This 710 s.f. Amish built Log Cabin will not contain any interior dividing walls, counters, kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing, or electrical wiring, septic system, or well, etc.
This will be just the basic Amish built Log Cabin. But it is should serve very nicely as a small camp, or initial base of operation ... or later as a guest house or storage building if you someday decide to build a larger building.
The pictures shown in the photo section are actually of other similar Log Cabins that we recently completed on different lots.
The design and construction of this included basic Amish built Log Cabin will be the same as the ones shown in the pictures in the photo section … except it will not have the pine tree cut outs on the porch ballisers, or shutters. They are available as options at additional cost.
A freestanding fireplace/stove can also be added for an additional $3,847.
LOG CABIN OPTIONS INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE:
This Custom Ordered Log Cabin includes a whole bunch of OPTIONS that are not included in the basic Log Cabins.
· Addition of an additional 378 s. f. to the basic 332 s. f. basic Log Cabin (1st floor is increased to 12’x26’ from original 10’x14’ and the loft floor is increase to 14’x28’ from the original 12’x16’)
Thus this customized Log Cabin will have 710 interior usable s.f. and INCLUDES:
· OSB flooring ... Optional PREMIUM WATER ESISTANT is available @ 1$/s.f.
· 12’ x 4’ Porch & 2’ rear and upper decks
· 3’ wide porch steps with railing ... Optional full 12' wide steps available for additional $700

· Trim for loft exterior end walls
· 5 Large Insulated double glazed windows
· 5 custom window screens
· Argon gas and tint for all 7 windows
· Custom Inside and outside Window trim for all 7 windows
· Solid insulated metal door with knobs and dead bolt ... Optional 9 lite door available for an additional $200
· Premium 40 year metal roofing
NOTE: The Log Cabins in the photo section essentially the same as the one that will be constructed … except that the window style is slightly different.
Also, this Log Cabin that will be constructed does not include the Shutters, and the Pine Tree cut outs in the porch railings. However, those can also be ordered as an additional option after this auction ends.
“SAVVY” bargain hunters will recognize this as a rare “OPPORTUNITY”
OPTIONAL “OFF THE GRID” WIND TURBINE PACKAGE:
We are also offering an optional wind turbine generator electric package for anyone who wants to be electric independent and off the grid. The entire erected and fully operational wind turbine package is available as an option for an additional $5,950.
It includes a wind turbine mounted on a 100' guyed tower, with all the
wiring and 4 deep cycle batteries and a 2,500-watt inverter, grounding rods,
switches, etc. It will be completely constructed and ready for you to plug into
if you elect to purchase it.
We also offer owner financing for this Wind Turbine Package with 50% down.
ARTESIAN Springs:
There are a number of free-flowing artesian springs located in many places on our 50 acres. I have not yet located all of them, but I find new ones all the time (50 acres is a lot of land to walk every foot of :)… so there is a good chance you can find and develop one on this parcel.
POND:
This parcel may have a potential Pond Site. We have not yet constructed a pond on it ... but I love to operate dozers (My wife calls them Jack's BIG Tonka Toys) … and especially like to build ponds. I have built dozens of ponds over the years. I can construct one for you as an additional option for $4,500 with half down and the rest paid with similar financing as for the land and Log Cabin
I can build you a very nice pond as an option for an additional fee of as low as $4,500.
We can even finance part of the additional Pond costs ... if you are willing to put up at least an extra $2,250 up front. (This helps offset the cost of renting & operating the dozer.)
We’re willing to then finance whatever extra you may need for the pond with additional payments of as low as $100/month until paid in full. The length of time to pay off in full will depend on how much extra you want to finance and how big you want your payments to be.
GOOGLE MAP COORDINATES:
Just go to GOOGLE MAP and paste or type in these coordinates
42°24'26.2"N 78°44'30.7"W
and it will take you to the exact location of this property.
Then if you change to SATELLITE VIEW it will show you the vast expanse of woods around this property.
DIRECTIONS:
You can get to this land from several directions and routes.
If you are coming from the north get off the divided highway portion of State Route 219 at the last exit, which is about 5 miles south of Springville.
At the end of the exit ramp turn right and go about a quarter mile to old Rt. 219.
Turn right and go a mile or so until you come to Connoisarauley Road (on the right only).
Turn right onto Connoisarauley and go about a mile and a half until you come to Co. Rt. 12.
Turn right onto Co. Rt. 12 (which takes a sharp left in about a mile) and go a total of a little over 3 miles until you come to Sky Ranch Rd. (on the left only).
Turn left onto Sky Ranch Rd. and go up the hill about a half a mile to a sharp left hand turn.
Just after you turn sharply left make an immediate right turn onto the Private Drive.
Go a few hundred yards, past several houses, and over a small culvert and up a small rise to the small clearing at the very end of that Private Drive.
This lot is located right at the end of the.
If you are coming from the west exit I-90 at exit 58, then Rt. 20 north a short distance, Rt. 438 east, Rt. 62 north, and Rt. 39 east to Rt. 219 at Springville. (This is shown on the road map in the photo section)
If coming from the east or south, exit I-86 onto Rt. 219 north to Co. Rt. 12.
The lot itself is shown on the survey map in the photo section.
The private drive should provide reasonable access in good weather … but, a 4wd vehicle is always best in secluded country like this.
TIMBER, FIREWOOD AND MINERAL RIGHTS:
All timber and surface mineral rights are included and will go to the winning bidder ... forever.
You will also have a virtually unlimited supply of firewood. There are a number of tree "tops" left over for you to use for fireplace wood or campfires. If you have a chainsaw you will have a lot of potential firewood to use it on :)
There may already be some timber value on this parcel … and over the years there is a high probability that you can get back much ... or perhaps all … of what you pay for this land by selling future timber.
That's one of the nice things about wooded land ... the timber on it is a self-renewing natural resource ... it just keeps growing.
FISHING:
There are numerous great fishing streams nearby.
* * *
At the beginning of this description, I posed two questions.
The first was ... should you buy this land ... and the second was ... should you buy it NOW?
Perhaps you have already figured out the answers to those questions on your own from what you've already read.
If not, I will give you my version of the answers a little later.
Read on...
SNOWMOBILING AND SKIING:
There are a number of marked and groomed Snowmobile Trails accessible from this land.
And this land is right in the middle of the Ski Resort Area in what is known as the “snow belt” south of Buffalo, NY. Some of these Ski Resorts are within less than an hour drive from this land.
I don't believe I exaggerate when I say that this is literally a "Snowmobiler’s and Skier’s Heaven".
If there is one thing western NY State is famous for ... its lots of snow :)
ABOUT THE AREA:
This area of NY State has so much to offer it is hard to know where to begin.
We will be furnishing you with a copy of a great map put out by the Department of Environmental Conversation that shows all of the MANY State and County Forests in the entire southwest portion of New York State.
The south bounds of the city of Buffalo is only about 45 minutes away (mostly on the newly built 219 Expressway) with all of the services and advantages of a major metropolitan area.
And Niagara Falls is only about an hour or so away …
This land is in a very picturesque rural area ... and is loaded with all kinds of wild game, as well as many nearby fishing streams and lakes.
Arguably, this is some of the best deer and turkey country in the world, and is crisscrossed by numerous hiking, snowmobiling and horseback riding trails.

You also agree that it is just as real and binding as a personal handshake.

. . . In conclusion… (finally:)
If you haven't already figured out the answers to the questions I posed to you at the very beginning ... I will now give you my take on them...
You must have a dream of having your own get-a-way in the country ... or you wouldn't have endured wading through this lengthy dissertation:)
If all of the features and benefits associated with this land DO NOT meet your particular needs ... then the answer to the first question is decidedly NO ... you should NOT bid on this land.
But, if they DO meet most of your needs ... well then you don't need me to tell you the answer that's right for you.
As to the 2nd question ... WHY you should buy now?
To answer that I'll first tell you the tough lesson I learned from what happened to my own Dad ... who worked hard for 47 years in a grimy foundry ... and then died before his time ... with the music still in him ... before he had a chance to enjoy his golden years.
Secondly, I'll tell you the sad tale of a very nice couple who won the bid on one of my properties ... but never got a chance to enjoy their dream. Unfortunately, within a couple of days of the end of the auction she fainted. And when they did a MRI they discovered she had three inoperable brain tumors. *
Life is very short ... and sometimes much shorter than it should be.
I have learned to live each day as if it were my last ... and
dance as if no one was watching.
If you want to do something
... do it ... NOW ... before you can't.
Seize the day ...
Take that for what it's worth.
*Now for "the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey used to say ...
I recently received the following emails from the husband of this very
courageous lady that I am pasting below just as they were received:
Hello Jack,
I’m not sure if you remember me I've been watching your auctions, I am John ... my wife Debbie and I were the couple that won one your auctions a couple years back.
Debbie was my wife that fainted and then was diagnosed with the brain tumors. If you remember, it was only a couple days after winning your auction.
I noticed you have been giving people reasons why they should buy the land of their dreams now and not to wait.
I am glad you use Debbie and me as a good reason to do so.
Debbie was touched when I showed her your add that you remembered us ... and it is truly a very good reason to buy now and not wait ... because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
On a sadder note, not to ruin your day, my wife Debbie, who I loved very much, passed away a month ago.
She fought a long, courageous battle with the cancer.
I just wanted to let you know ... and thank you for caring.
I would be very appreciative if you would continue to use us as an example.
Sometimes life goes by so fast we don't stop ... and slow down ... and look at what we have ... before it’s gone.
Take Care Jack,
Sincerely Debbie and John
Wow ... what a beautiful ... and touching ... and yet, at the same time, sad ... story!
Thank you so much for sharing it with me.
I am much honored that you made the special effort at this time of great grief to send me this follow up story.
As you know, I was so touched by your original story that I wanted to share it with everyone who reads my auctions.
Perhaps it is an additional "legacy" that you and Debbie can give to so many others.
My heart reaches out to yours (and Debbie's) with very strong feeling.
Sincerely,
Jack
Thank you Jack,
You are more than welcome to share our story.
If it makes just one person stop and appreciate what they have then it's all worthwhile.
When Debbie first got ill you would check to see how things were going ... and I remembered that.
I felt you should know.
Good luck to you Yours.
Take Care Jack
