One of my favorite memories with Mr. Lorenzo happened by chance, which makes it even more special. I was at the airport in San Diego getting ready to fly back to Nashville when I heard someone call my name. I remember thinking, “There’s no way anyone here knows me.” But when I turned around, it was him.
I was so happy to see him. He gave me the biggest hug, and I told him we had to take a picture so I could send it to Melinda. I’m really glad we did.
Every time I look at that picture, I think about his smile and his energy. He just had a way about him. He instantly made me feel like family from the moment I met him. That’s how I’ll always remember him.
