Chance...loved the game, talented, celebrated his mates’ successes, and his own. That’s a great combo.

Hey missy and burley. I love you guys so much. Chance was like my brother. It still doesn't seem real. Sis and chance are the best cousins anyone could ever ask for. You guys raised a good man. I love that kid with every bone in my body. Yeah we had are fights but we couldn't ever be mad for long. I still remember swimming in the ditch in the front yard(: I love you guys and in here if you need anything. Bye. I love you Chance Robert Smith. You will never be forgotten Bub.

Burley, Michelle & Destiny,
I can't even begin to imagine what you all are going thru right now, but know that I've been praying for all of you. Also, I have been praying for your mom Burley. This is such an extremely hard time for each of you. Chance was such a wonderful young man. He had the sweetest personality. Hold on to God & each other. He will give you strength! I will continue to pray for each & everyone of you. I am so very sorry for your loss.
