Paul, Ruby, Jamie, and Scotty,

We were deeply saddened to learn of the loss of your father and grandfather James Wilson Greene. We did not know James Wilson Greene personally but we do know all of you. And that speaks volumes of the kind of man that Mr. Greene was. He lives on through his children and grand children. Praise God! I know it gives you peace to know that you will see him again one day.

We love you all so much!
