LEXINGTON, NC - Married life got off to a roaring start for a pair of Triad Panthers fans at Hospice of Davidson County this week as a heartfelt story got even better.
When Kenneth Smith and his wife Charlene wore Carolina Panthers gear during their Valentine's Day wedding this week, the team noticed and arranged a surprise visit. Kenneth, 64, was recently diagnosed with cancer and is a patient at the hospice.
Linebacker Thomas Davis brought wedding gifts with a special note from coach Ron Rivera for the couple, who have been together 25 years. Davis brought Kenneth a personalized jersey and signed it for him before posing for pictures.
As the team's tweet shows, both Kenneth and Charlene, huge Panthers fans, were thrilled. Keep pounding, guys!
