Condolences to the Smith family . We have fond memories of those early days with the los Angeles Aztecs. You were there and saw the ups and downs in the beginnings. I know soccer has been a big part of your family, glad the grandchildren are carrying on.
Regards from Bobby and Brenda Sibbald and family (Robert, Joathan band Kyle)

Bob and Patti -
So sorry to hear of your father's passing. I am a believer that death is hardest for the ones left behind. Find peace knowing he is safe in our Lord's loving arms.
