I met Alan and Miriam Helmick at my farm because they wanted to buy some horses to start a horse breeding operation. It was always her passion to start riding, and Alan just said, you know, I'm going to give this dream to you.

I talked to Miriam almost on a daily basis. And in a lot of our conversations, she talked about that she thought somebody was trying to come into the house and she was scared for her life.

Miriam calls me and she's frantic and she goes, what should I do? And I said, well, you need to hang up the phone and call the police and get out of there. I said, because somebody could be there trying to hurt you.

They would talk about how they would go out on their boats late at night to watch the sunsets together, have an evening cocktail, and just how they felt like they had just found a true partner late in life. It was just like a little fairy tale come true.
