"God can bring you through anything, from your lowest lows to high," said Lawrence.
"In doing this you can do these kinds of things anywhere and it was extremely important to us that Roanoke be involved, we wanted to be able to use the name, we wanted to be able to show the places, the city and as soon as we came to ask, the red carpet came out," explained Steve Woolwine, Lawrence's childhood friend.
