Michael Bradley Smith

Uncle Brad, my childhood idle. I appreciate all the wonderful times we shared. I miss you a lot. Until we meet again,

with much love and respect, KC

Dear Carol & Brothers,

I've been so sad to hear about Bradley's passing.

I have some funny letters from Bradley and funny stories ... as if you don't already have so many yourself. I also have some touching poems he wrote as well. I think back to his obsession with building the perfect fishing tackle box when he lived out here (it took on an intensity that was almost disturbing), catching the fish in the stocked pond in Greer and putting our "fish" picture in the local fish...

A precious memory for me is a High School weekend with Greg Cluff, Drew Tryon and Brad at the Overguard cabin. I will miss Brad's unique thought process and great sense of humor. My prays and thoughts go out to the family

Some of my happiest memories of my childhood were the times I spent with Uncle Sammy, Aunt Carol, Kenny, Kevin, Greg and Bradley. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Much Love

Ma Smith and family:
News travels slow up to this part of the world. I was so sorry to hear of Brad's passing. I don't know if I have even seen him since they broke up the hood (aka split 21st ward), but his grin still says the same things. I can't believe it's been 30 years, and yet your family is still such a part of me and who I am. It's hard to express what it meant to us, to have Kenny and Greg come up to Snowflake for dad's service. I wish I could give some of those feelings...

I know me and Emme did not know Brad very well, but he was still a great uncle. We love you and miss you and can't wait until we will see you again.

I will miss Brad. We had a special relationship that goes way back. He was a special part of our family and we loved him very much. My life was blessed just knowing Brad. He always made me smile and brought laughter into my life and so many others. He will never be forgotten.

Words can't express how grateful I am to now that I'll see you again. Until then, I'll eat a Pixie stik every day in your honor. I love you Uncle Brad. Adios for now.

Carol and family,
I was so sorry to read of Brad's death and want to express my love and sympathy to all of you. It meant so much to me to have your boys come to Ralph's funeral and I wish I could come and give you a big hug and tell you how much you are loved. My prayers are with you. It will be a hard, sad time. Just remember how many people love you and your special family.
