Mom there will never be another Mother that has been so caring and loved her children and very much.
We will miss your visits to Las Vegas and sitting playing next to each other, when you win, you always cashed out just to hear the money drop. We got the biggest kick out of you.
You will be missed very much. Rest in peace forever your son Marion and Deb Smith. LOVE YOU MOM!!

The world has truly lost someone special. To ALL my aunts and uncles and my truly amazing mom I wish I werent so far away, but please know I love you all and may you find some comfort in knowing gram will always remain alive in our memories. Some of my favorites are the time in Bondurant. Going to town on saturdays, gma putting on her lipstick, and face powder. Bobby pin curls for the hair, and how she would stand by the door and wave to us when we left and didnt stop until we were out of site. She loved us all and I was so proud to be her grandaughter. God Bless you all. Rest in Peace Gram. Love you always, Lisa.
