To the citizens of Wilkes County :

With heartfelt gratitude, I, Gloria Battle extends words of thanks to each of you for your diligence in lending a helping hand, praying, donating monetary gifts, visits, cards, and thoughts. Through your assistance and sacrifice, I was able to withstand the affects of the tornado to my home. Although the road ahead may seem long and treacherous, your assistance has prepared a foundation that will provide a smoother course. Again, thank you Wilkes County.

Gloria T. Battle
