    I love Mackinac Island and Northern Michigan, especially the Western coast, is such a beautiful place. I love visiting the family cottage in Bay View that has always been a part of his childhood and memories and has been a part of mine since I began visiting in 1999. It truly is a place that is unlike any other I have visited.

Please, please, tell us again!” Then grandpa starts out, “Well children, let us tell you how kindness was our greatest wedding present that day…” And the story is told again!

To the community, there aren’t enough thanks to go around, but know this, not only did you help this couple to enjoy a day and an experience they will never forget, but provided the world with the kind of story we needed to have to remember not only how to smile but the value of “neighbors” pulling together! Bless each and everyone of you for giving this to us all!
