Dear family of Dorothy Smith,I recently read about the loss of your loved one. She certainly lived a long life. Ps 90:10 says "in themselves the days of our years are seventy years;and it is because of special mightiness they are eighty years..." Amazing! Cherish the memories and the times you have shared. May the God of comfort continue to be with you during this difficult time.
