Her husband, Bill, 78, was wounded. Also killed was Robert Denning, shot and beaten inside his home on Jonestown Road. The Magness couple was delivering a hot meal to Denning and apparently interrupted a robbery Thursday. Meals on Wheels employees and volunteers openly cried Friday morning as they steeled themselves for another day. Richard Gottleib, president of Senior Services, led his troops in prayer. Nothing trains you for a situation like this, he said. Meals on Wheels has nine different sites in Forsyth County where volunteers pick up the food and deliver their routes. The Magness couple left from Holy Family Catholic Church, which has three daily routes. Gottleib said the program has 1,672 volunteers. “They are just the greatest group,” he said. “We are just shocked and saddened. Our prayers go out to the families of the victims. We are committed more than ever to accomplishing this great service. We are so affirmed by the offers to help. It’s just been a great outpouring for this program.” This is an on-line publication of The Clemmons Courier 3600 Clemmons Road P.O.
