My favorite TV show every Sunday is ABC's Extreme Home makeover episodes. You can visit this link to learn about the previous episodes and about the program: http://abc.go.com/primetime/xtremehome/. I put away every thing I am doing and switch to TV when that show comes on.
This week's show was the Koepke family. The Koepke family lived in an old house built by Matt Koepke's grandfather. The family also have an old Mill. Matt unfortunately was diagnosed with Cancer and died 4 months later. Ty Pennington (show's host) promised Matt while he was still in hospital that they would help the family build a new home. However, he never got to meet Matt. But Ty fulfilled his promise after Matt passed away. They built a new home for the family and renovated the old Mill with a new turbine.
Matt was loved very much by many people which was evident in the number of people turning up to welcome the family into their new home. There were about 17,000 people in the small town at Wisconsin who turned up. Matt's inspirational words were engraved in a stone memorial which is now at the family's backyard.
