To the Smith Family,

The fondness of this wonderful family is etched in our memories for a life-time. What a beautiful family both inside and out. During my time at Jerusalem, they were such an exemplary example of kinship among siblings; continuously joyful Ms. Annie will certainly be missed. To Mr. Eddie, the family and all who loved Ms. Annie, may the peace of God, the lovely times too numerous to count be joined with the joy of the Lord which is certainly your strength.

To The Smith Family,

I have fond memories of Ms. Annie as a little girl growing up in Jerusalem Baptist Church. Ms. Annie and her sister Ruby served as our baseball coaches during out short stint as "The Honeybees". Ms. Annie loved to laugh and was a joy to be around. She not only taught us to strive to be the best and work hard but to have fun while doing it. I can still clearly remember the close bond she shared with her sister Ruby and her brother, Mr. Eddie Smith. It was obvious that they were not only close siblings but best friends as well.
May God comfort this loving family during your time of bereavement.
