Andrea, thank you so much for keeping us so well informed throughout the whole process!!!

I am so happy to see a smile on John's face - he really needed that.

many many s to you and your family.

P.S. WALK 97.5 said Florida about 12 times today on their news segment - but they could've been wrong!!!! Is Florida true?

I remember when you posted about your cousin passing away and I visited the website and I remember thinking what a beautiful woman she was with such a beautiful family and it made me sad that life sometimes is so unfair. Although a new home won't bring a mom and a wife back, I was so happy when you posted that their home was chosen to be made over. I followed the story all week on here, in Newsday and on News 12 but reading what you just posted and looking at the pictures just made me weep I hope John and his children will find some solace in their new home and wish you and your family all the best! Can't wait to see the episode in May.

My infinite thanks to you all.
Reading all you comments just brings me to tears.

To answer a couple of questions: am470, I think John & his Mom dressed the boys, not the show.
luvsbob, they didn't go to Vermont. Someone else said they went to Florida, they didn't go there either.

They didnt go to Florida?? To Newsday for spreading rumors.
I cant wait for the show to air!
God Bless you and your family Andrea!

Ann Marie gave the workers a week of great weather to make this house for John & the boys, she made it rain today because she's sad she can't be there with them.
Exactly true.

The above is so touching and true...I nearly came to tears and had the chills when I read this and saw those pics.

Oh, and those boys are sooo adorable. I love their matching outfits!!!

I'm so happy for you and your family!!!

How wonderful!!! The house looks great! Did they buy them the boat too?

The boat was either donated by a boating store or the show donated it. He'll be getting lots of other wonderful things as well, but I don't have a complete list yet.

It said in Newsday that the contractor who worked on the house bought it as a gift to John.

Great photos! This made my day, thanks for sharing it.
