The Greensboro Community bids loving farewell to Merrill and Tom Hurst

Love and sadness were in the air on Friday, July 31 when the community threw a farewell party for the Hursts who are leaving Greensboro this fall. The new firehouse was decked out for the event, with guestbook, flowers and tables of refreshments. Merrill spoke of their life in Greensboro and community members responded with their thanks and memories going back several generations. Gifts and hugs were given, Merrill’s singing group sang and tears of love and appreciation flowed as the whole community recognized this family at the heart and history of Greensboro for so many years.
