Kim, I am so sorry about the loss of your mom. I remember all the time we spent at your house back in the day, and how sweet your mom always was. She had a smile and a kind word for everyone. I am praying for you and your family.

So sorry to all the Smith family members: I do know how much you'll miss her. She was a wonderful Christ follower, wife, mother, Grandma, friend, and many more roles that I can't even list them all. She was always such an encourager to me and many others, leading and guiding many of us as we grew in our faith. Keeping you covered in prayer during these very difficult days of acceptance. Much love to all! The great Comforter is available 24-7--He will never leave you or forsake you!! Janet & family
