We will always remember when we returned to Asheville and WABC, how you made us feel so welcome. Christy just took Meghan under her little wing and off they skipped to cook up after-church-plans. Oh, my goodness. Thanks be to God for our faith and salvation, the only way to get through day by day. We love you.
