“As I was leaving Ingles, I saw two men walking out of the store. One looked like Gov. Deal. I said, ‘Is that who I think it is?’ He turned around and introduced himself to me. It was my mom’s birthday and in memory of her, my husband and I were going to release a balloon. Gov Deal listened as I told him about the loss of my mom, and he shared his story of his parents. He understood my sorrow.”
– Dixie Moore, 2014
