I worked with Liz when I was desperately trying to get pregnant with my first child.

I consider Gary Addeo family. He and his wife have been by our sides through the many ups and downs in life, and cares for people deeply. He’s a stellar example of treating others as you’d want to be treated and turning to scripture in times of uncertainty.

He now does both in a small Pacific Northwest community and continues to touch the lives of many on his journey.
