Lillian,
It has been so long since I have seen you and your family but I have thought of you often. Lou officiated at my sister's wedding in 1959. You and I were working together at that time. I am very sorry for your loss and I will be praying for your family during this difficult time.

Dear Greeson Family
I was sad to learn of the passing of Pastor Greeson. I attended Communtiy Baptist Church in Reidsville as a child and Pastor Greeson served the Lord there. My little Grandmother Viola Purgason loved your whole family. We know that he is with the Lord and that this promise will comfort you. Thinking of your family and praying God's comfort and strenght for you all.
Your friend in Christ

Dear Lillian and the Greeson family,
So sorry for your loss of brother Greeson, but he is in the place that he preached about all of those years and I wouldn't have him back in this old world for nothing. We'll see him again in Heaven; of this I am sure.
