We met Bob in 1997 when we called a number on a for sale sign and Joyce and Bob sold our home in mesa and sold us the home we live in, Bob also gave us pointers on all the fruit trees and grapes that came with our home. As years past our daughter became great friends with there granddaughter and the family. It is people like the Hildebrandts that make our town a great place to live and raise your kids. Thanks you for all you do for us. Our prayers are with you and your family. May God be with you all.
