"After seeing how much fun the Sveda Family had with their pet goat, Ginger, I decided I needed one. My parents bought me a goat for my ninth birthday. When my Mom would go grocery shopping, I would spend the day with Johnny. Johnny was so kind-hearted he was willing to not only spend the day with me, but also with my goat! He would load us both up in the back of his pick-up truck and take us to his house. I remember taking walks through the woods with Johnny and my favorite pet on the Sveda Farm. Johnny would always go the extra mile for anyone, even a 9 year old. "
In loving memory of
John Sveda
