Ms Laila,
I thank God for the conversation that you and I had when we last saw each other at NDC. Your friendship and acts of kindness that was shown to me when I worked in medical records and now as a financial counselor will never be forgotten.

Charlie, We have enjoyed the company of you and Laila here at Lake Gaston so much - the boat rides - dinner out and just good visits together where conversation was not lacking! Our times with Laila will remain very special in our memories. You, Nancy, Ron & Rob will be in our prayers. God bless.
