Dear Family,



Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Mrs. Smith had a special place in my heart. I always looked forward to mowing her lawn becuase I knew she would be waiting on me to chatt with her. I also enjoyed the other little chores she asked me to do. Mrs. Smith will be missed dearly.



God Bless,
