I never met Mr. Smith but have been privileged to know his daughter Jennifer Rowell through our church congregation (Columbia Presbyterian Church), who contributes so much to our common church life. I pray God to bless the Smith family with peace and a great sense of satisfaction and joy in his life.

I know several of his children very well and Charlie and his wife did something right raising them. They are wonderful people. God richly blessed my friends with a great loving father.
