To Greg and Children;
From my first visit to North Carolina, Renee and I fussed and then laughed. I do and always will appreciate the way both you and Renee received me and me feel welcomed. Renee lived and loved greatly, with passion for life, in life second to none. Renee's salvation experience was a great testimony to me, too. Thanks, Renee for being, just being.
Your friend,
Al Young, Sr.
