I am so sorry to learn of your loss. At times like this it is important to rely on God as well as the comfort you receive from friends and family.

Psalm 147:3 He is healing the brokenhearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots.

I hope that this and many other scriptures can offer you comfort in this most difficult time.

My Daddy,
He was the kind of dad that everyone would want. He was such a loving, caring and always would be there for you. I will miss my dad dearly. There will not be a day that goes by that I will not think of him and all the good times that we shared. I'm so thankful to have the wonderful memories and our special times together.

Ludie,Nolita, and Sherry,
I know that you will miss Billy Ray but remember he is free now. He can go gamble, watch the races or do whatever he wants without restrictions. He will be watching over you. We all need a guardian angel. You'll now have one.

Love,
Peggy Holland

My Pop, my buddy, my hero, my grandfather. Billy Ray Smith has had the biggest and most positive influence on me than anyone ever in Gods world. I will think about him everyday while cherishing the moments had with my Pop. Taking me to the race track, the candy store, or hanging out watching the Cowboys or a NASCAR race, or even talking on the phone with him would just make my week. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew him and loved him. Very much love and thanks to all who gave your love, prayers, and support to he and our family in these times of grieving.

Pop may your soul rest in peace or at the casino which ever you prefer.
