We fell in love with the people of Greenville, it was a community to us more than a place.

Joan Carter

I didn't have any thoughts that it wouldn't be gone, the kinds of fires that we're experiencing now are mega-fires.

When this happened again, The Carters just said we're done running, it's a small place, we know each other, and we suffer together and we're going to triumph together.

Our faith gets us through, in the Bible, God says' I will give you beauty for ashes.' And heaven only knows we've got plenty of ashes.
