Hal and Audrey and families, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. What a sweet precious woman of God. When I was working at First Baptist it was always such a joy on Wednesdays when she was busy cooking in the kitchen. I must say she made the most wonderful chocolate pound cake ever!! Of course, there were many other great dishes too but that one always stood out. What a blessing both Mr. and Mrs. Smith were. They will be greatly missed on earth but we'll look forward to that day when we will all be together again. - Bobby and Faye Beale
