    Want to make my life easier?
    One of the best ways to help me out is to give our channel a well worded 5 star review on google.
    You see sometimes it's hard to convince people that the work I do is not a scam but with your help I can become the most rated and highest reviewed lawn care professional in the world. This is a ridiculous goal and im not going to lie it would be a really awesome flex in my industry lol BUT the key factor is that your testimony of my work may be the one remark that helps me to help one more person in need.

      Done, thanks for the beautiful recovery of this cemetery, I believe every small cemetery deserves to have someone like you to care for it. We have always kept our family cemeteries mowed and we were brought up to respect all Americans. Thanks again for all your hard work and those of your wife, child, and the 2 young men.

      It reminds me of something written on an ancient tombstone from the Middle Ages, somewhere in Armenia, if I'm not mistaken.
      Amongst other inscriptions, it reads something like: "You are where I once was. Someday, you will be where I am now."

      Perfectly said Nancy, well done Kevin to all of you, many thanks.
      This strikes a cord with me. My closest aunt passed 3 years ago and because of covid I wasn’t able to go to the funeral. (I live in California, she lived in Canada) This summer I was finally able to visit her gravesite and was quite upset to it’s condition. The cemetery itself was taken care of but her grave wasn’t. Her daughter has still not gotten a headstone for her so all there was, was a metal cross with her name on a tiny piece of paper. Even though it’s only been three years the area gets a lot of rain in summer and snow in winter so the cross was all rusty. It broke my heart. I went out and got what I needed to clean the rust off and fix it and it felt so good to see her cross looking fresh and clean again with a fresh coat of paint.
      Cutting the grass and trimming edges and trees is a huge thing but what you all did cleaning those markers and headstones means so much more! Trust me, when any family member sees what you did , they will be so so thankful.
      This was really touching.❤

He is getting paid for the videos yes but it's not a greedy "this video will make me rich."

    I think you and your family did a wonderful job on this Cemetery. I am a Senior Citizen or elderly Black woman and I have been watching your videos for quite a few months now. This one is special to me because you really 'Hit Home' to me when you stated, "Times were different back then and it's time to let it all go." It didn't matter that some of those graves were of Confederate Soldiers. They played their part in this country's history and deserve respect for that. It's not about whether they were on the wrong side, it's about forgiveness, letting go, and being at peace.

    What a neat idea to say a prayer for your viewers and to work so hard to make that cemetary beautiful again. ❤ I cried through most of it. Especially the prayer. My son is getting ready to leave on a mission and I'm sure those elders parents were so happy to see them :)

It is a lot of people that want to comment on here negatively and say things and are not willing to do anything to improve the situation of these neglected cemeteries. I want to thank you on behalf of me and my family for what you've done for this cemetery. I wish we had a million more people like you.

    You did a great job!! I have family that fought on both sides of the civil war. I’m proud they fought for what they believed in right or wrong. It must have been scary to the people living in the south big changes to their lives were being threatened. We can’t understand their thinking now of course but we didn’t live in their time. We should honor the past learn from it and keep moving forward. We should not bury it ever. That’s a huge mistake. We shouldn’t disrespect those that died. War is ugly no matter what but the people that fought it should be honor whether they were right or not. We always see the error in wars but let’s continue to honor the men and women who fought for us. God bless you for doing that 🙏❤️

    Your daughter helping clean up the stones just did my heart a world of good to know that there's still hope for mankind. Maybe next time you cut down some dead trees, you could stack the wood near the road and let people pick up some free firewood. Just in case someone heats their home with wood. Just a suggestion! 💖
