Not sure what to say?

Ruby and Smith family, I give my deepest condolences. May God forever keep you during this difficult time of mourning! I will continue to pray for all of you. God bless you all!
Love,
Dr. Antwanya Herbert

Daddy, I'm thinking of you even more today on Father's Day than ever. But I'm careful not to be mournful because those feelings may overshadow the wonderful fatherly legacy you have left. Your exemplary support and guidance will resonate with me forever. I'm so grateful for the experience of being your daughter and to simply say I'm proud would be an understatement. You are and will always be MY HERO! "I love you to the moon and back!" :)

Mr. Smith represented his family, church, NASA, and HI-U, with honor and dignity. His legacy lives on in all the lives he touched throughout his earthly journey. Peace and blessings to his family.

To My Dearest Friend, Faith, & Her Family:

So terribly saddened to learn of the passing of your father and am praying that God will grant you the strength you need to get through this difficult time. What a wonderful legacy your father leaves and I am thankful that the virtues that he lived by will continue to live on through you.

To Aunt Ruby and Cousins Michael, Cavanaugh, Reggie, and Ruby Faith:

I am sorry to hear of the loss of Uncle Alphonso. What an amazing and powerful life he led with a legacy to be so proud of! Many years ago as a teen or young adult I was able to visit his home and was in awe of all he had accomplished. The best part is that he used his gifts and talents to the glory of God and was truly blessed for it. While he will be missed and grieved by many, rejoice in knowing that he is...

To the Smith and Howard Family.
Please allow me to extend my heart-felt condolences. I pray the Holy Spirit gives you peace & understanding in your time of grief. I pray that your mind stay on the truth of God's word and not your situation, for we in Christ know that to be absent from the body is to be in the presence of the Lord! May you all find comfort in that. Through your righteousness, I pray you are blessed in Jesus' name. (From the Heart Church Ministries of Atlanta)

Thank you God for giving us Dr. Smith. I grieve with all family and friends. Always a man with kind words and actions. I thank the Lord for allowing me to know Dr. Smith on a professional and personal level. Love you Doc.

To The Smith Family-

I am so sorry to hear the news about Mr. Smith. My condolences. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I will be thinking of you and the rest of the family. I know we never lose the people we love. They live the rest of our lives with us in our heart. Sending you lots of love.
