To Redball,Jamie,Kids and the Smith Family,
One of the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life was to say good-bye to my parents.I want you guys to know that you are going to make it through with God's help.You have to keep your memories in your heart.Don't ask God why but be thankful for the time you had together.Remember that Mr. Smith is no longer in any pain and he's watching over you.Words will not ease the pain in your heart today but maybe after a while they will. It took me 2 years.Know that you are loved and you guys are in our thoughts and prayers.Keep the Faith because only He knows the Master Plan.
Love Ya Lots!!!!
Love Ya Always!!!!

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. We did not see or talk to our cousin often but we want you to know there was love in our hearts for our cousin. May God hold your hand and be with you in this time of grief. Sincerely

Aunt Carol,
Words can't express how you feel right now. I will keep you and the family in my prayers. I will always remember the fun I had with Uncle Henderson growing up. I know that he will be looking down on me to see me ride my bike that he has kept for me all these years!

Aunt Carolyn, Redball, Jamie and family,

Although no words can really help to ease the loss we all bear, just know that you all are very close in every thought and prayer. I will still always be, "Garnett Lynn" to my Uncle Man.
Love,
Garnett L. Smith

Carolyn,Redball and Family,

We were sadden to hear of "Man's" homegoing, he was one to always bring laughter and to lend a helping hand where and whenever he could. We also looked forward to his phone calls, if he missed us he would leave a message that said "ok I didn't catch you this time, but I will call back". We are keeping you all in our thoughts and pray that you continue to hold to God's unchanging hand and as you remember the good times you shared with "Man". Just keep in mind that the Joy of the Lord is your strength.

I worked with "Smitty" 30 years ago at "Hertz Truck". My mom (Betty the bookkeeper) and I came to your house one night for dinner Carolyn. He was one of the most pleasant men I've ever met. I'll never forget him.
