Dear Smith family,
I am writing to extend my deepest sympathies to the Smith’s family. I was so very sad to hear about Noble Smith, he was such a wonderful man.
I had the honor and the pleasure to know him as a man, Mason and friend and I will always remember the conversations, dinners, and times we worked together.
James had a calmness of mind, patient and self-control which is the beautiful jewels of wisdom. I am sure his remarkable sense of humor will be missed. I have the greatest respect for him and his family.
Please know that I'm praying for your family. I know that your family has the strength in them to move on.
Sometimes it’s hard to understand
Why certain things must be,
But there’s a reason for everything,
Beyond our power to see.
And we find comfort in our hearts
To know the ones we love will find,
Eternal happiness and lasting peace,
In our great heaven.
Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
With Deepest Sympathy
Past Potentate Leroy Barnes & family
