Dear community residents: It is with hearts filled with gratitude and appreciation that we take this moment in time to thank you for your outpouring of love and generosity to us and our family in our time of need, after a fire destroyed our home. Words are inadequate to express the depths to which your actions touched our lives. We are fortunate and proud to live among such noble and gracious people.
 All of you are ambassadors of hope and love for your fellow man. Our special thanks are extended to Dr. Nilous Avery and the members of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church, the employees of the W.G. “Bill” Hefner VA Medical Center, the employees and administration of Food Lion, Inc., and the neighbors and friends of the Forest Meadow Lane community.
— Terry and Veronica Thomas and family
