I live in a rural area and have some very good neighbors, but one is outstanding. In the spring of 2003, my husband had open heart surgery. Mike Gast started doing our yard work, was available to watch our dogs, to help my husband get in and out of the car and to help get him up when he fell. My husband passed away in 2008. Mike was there for our family, helping with whatever needed to be done. He still does my yard work, trims my trees, watches my dogs when I need him and helping in any way possible, all without pay. Without Mike's help I would not be able to stay in my home that my husband built many years ago. My family and I will always be grateful for all that Mike has done for us.
