The image of a Cross left by two aircraft stood out in the sky. The Priest told those assembled that it was a sign from Henry that he was alright.

They now have 2 vans and 1 truck, well trained personal techs; one full time and one part time, plus a part time secretary. “Eighty percent of small businesses don’t make it past their first year.
