I hope you remember me Lisa, this is Greg Collins we worked together years back at One Valley Bank. I can't begin to tell you how sorry i am for your loss. I truly mean that from deep within. Lisa, I had the opportunity a few years back to meet your son Travis through a friend and we shook hands and exchanged pleasantries. Once we discovered we knew someone in common which was you and i expressed how much you were liked and admired by all who knew you, it was right then i could see in his eyes the love he had for you and his entire family. Lisa, we shook hands and i could feel the pride he had for his family and definitely see it in his eyes. I'll never forget it. Lisa he loved you dearly as well as all his family. I promise you with all inside me i felt it in his handshake. He looked me in the eye and thanked me for my kind words and i looked back and he had a tear in his. What a gentleman he was and i am proud to say i met him.
God Bless you and your family!
