Sorry to hear about RL's passing. I went to school with Penny and we were at WCU with both RL and Penny. RL was a memorable soul and will be missed.

Thoughts and prayers for RL's family, friends, and co-workers. He was such a precious man of God. We were always blessed to hear him preach. He made things so real. He will be greatly missed. But we have the assurance of seeing him again in the sweet by and by. Love and prayers to Penny, Altha and family.
