As Ann's friend and cousin, I will miss her forever. My prayers are -- and have been -- with John and Ann's extended family and friends. I am grateful for the close friendship we shared over the past 4-5 years, since our Jackson reunion. (I thought I had posted this earlier.)

I would like to extend my condolences to the family & friends of Ann Kendrick Smith. Losing someone dear to us is not easy, but I find much comfort in the Bible where it assures us that "Our Sovereign Lord will actually swallow up death forever and will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. May your wonderful memories of your loved one also bring you comfort.

I have a beautiful painting my living room that Ann painted, and every time I look at it, it makes me smile. Please know that Ann's gifts and talent will continue to give joy to her friends and even to strangers who loved her works. My thoughts are with you.
