Mr. Renfro, Dennis and Joyce, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Mrs. Renfro was a lovely woman and will be missed by many I know.

My entire life of being Mrs. Jim Atwell (31 years) I have heard stories of the love that the Renfro family showed to my husband during his youth, and I know how special of a lady she was and will always be in your hearts. I am honored that I had the privilege of knowing her as well.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief, and may the promises of our faith comfort you during this very difficult time.

Love Missy
