First off, THANK YOU!!!!! : )

We could not be more thankful. We appreciate everything that you have done for us. You are all a blessing from God. We love the house so much and so does everyone else in the neighborhood and pretty much the whole state it seems. We are making a lot of new memories in our new home that we will never forget.

All of us really like our new bedrooms and our own bathrooms. We are taking very good care of them. Derek dusts and straightens his Packer shelf everyday. Mitch is our lawn man. He enjoys doing those things. We really wish Dad (Matt) was here to share and be apart of these new memories with us, but that does not stop us from going on with our lives. We know that he is here with us all the time and watching out for us. Lets just say he is supervising. We still think about him everyday and we will never forget him. You all did a great job at reminding us of him everyday. We remember him every time we walk into a room in the house. In Derek's room we see all the Packer things and remember the times Dad would watch the Packer games with us. We look in Jayna's room and see the pictures of the girls' horse and remember when he would go to horse shows and watch the girls ride. Take a look at Mitchell's room and we remember the days when Dad and Mitch would go hunting and bring home their deer to show us. Then we walk into Johanna's room and see pieces of the old house, the one that we all grew up in together and made so many memories with Dad. Ones that we will never forget. Mom's room has our old mirror from our dining room that you would look in every time you walked passed it. Then our family room. We look in there and see the most wonderful pictures of our family that our friend had taken just a few months before Dad passed away. We can still remember that day and how much fun it was being together as a whole family. We also remember Dad when we walk over to the Dundee Mill Park. We see it and think about how much he loved being over there and working on it with his friends. You all did an awesome job on it. It couldn't have been done better. He would definitely approve! We wish we could have said bye and thank you to all of you, but we understand you are very busy helping so many other deserving families in need of help. We just want to say thank you again for everything you have done for our family. We are so grateful and overjoyed! Thank you again!

Thank you and God Bless You,

The Koepke Family from Dundee, Wisconsin
Chris, Derek, Jayna, Mitchell & Johanna

I'm so overjoyed by the fact that Extreme Makeover : Home Edition chose your family to receive a brand new house, and remodel for the Dundee Mill. I was there to witness the wonderful event. May God bless all of you always and forever.
