<p>First off, I just wanted to say Happy Birthday! I want to also thank you for everything you’ve done for my family and I. You’ve impacted and changed our lives in ways you wouldn’t believe. Because of you we’ve grown closer to one another through our shared experiences out west. You’ve pushed us in our faith and even changed and reshaped our faith. I just hope you know how much we love you and are thankful for you. Personally, I want you thank you for taking me in at Hartco.

<p>You are one of those iconic people that is someone I had heard about for year from several of my Red Door friends and it was always about your generosity. In fact, the first time I heard/saw it in action was when Jordan Pieniasek went Home and you generously paid for hotels for his family. And I don't think you really even knew the Pieniaseks at the time. This was so inspirational and I appreciated knowing it and even more, knowing that the family had no clue how that blessing came their way...you…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/letters-to-todd/blog/6387600/tricia-wonderly-2020">Read more</a></span></div>
