To My family,

I grieve with you in the lost of our beloved Aunt Lessie. There is no doubt in my mind, as to where she is now. Now she can "Praise the Lord!" in person. Our lives have been made richer for having her a part of them.

To my Cousin Ann, just know that you made a huge difference in the quality of her life, and she was most appreciative for all that you did for her. God's got great rewards, both on this side and the other side of heaven, for you.

We all have our memories of Aunt Lessie, and we know that we will see her again!

Love, Patricia
Daughter of her brother Lewis Smith, Jr
