I like to reflect on those beautiful memories that had such an influence on my life. The birth of my children, the moment I met the love of my life, even those significant moments when temporary failure suddenly became a victory after a determined struggle to win. These memories bring such contentment and delight that they sustain us during our difficult times. I believe God intended for these to be permanent, enduring recollections to keep us going, reminding us that all of life is not thorny - that roses bloom along the way. I have so many of these for which I will be eternally grateful.

I am very pleased with the Auto Tech Clinic located on Michigan Avenue at Telegraph Road in Dearborn, Michigan. They have supplied me with great service time and time again. Prior to this visit, I had only had oil changes and brakes done at this shop and was always pleased. In fact, last year I took my car in for brakes, which I thought I needed.

He could have easily sold me the brakes, my car had 60,000 miles on it and the original brakes were still on it. I would have never questioned the repair, but he chose to be honest, and I got another 12,000 miles on those brakes before I returned to have them replaced. Auto Tech gave me a great price on that Buy Chevy Truck brake job too.

In those days, I knew a young man, older than me, who drove a white 1957 Chevrolet that had power-pack heads with a four barrel carburetor, dual exhausts, and automatic, all housed in a four door hardtop body painted white. If I remember correctly, his name was Kenneth King.
