Uncle Sutter,
You are a treasure that will slways be remembered!!
You touched the hearts snd souls of every individual you greeted in life and openly shared your genius with family and strangers as you encouraged all to be their best and a servant to God!
The positive memories you embarked on young people gave the the courage to reach for the highest ambitions and to succeed in life in strange and foreirn countries travelled. No matter how far we journeyed from home -Terry, Mississippi- we always made our way home, where doors stayed opened to welcome us.
(Some of us called upon your strength when we where in unfamiliar places that were not so accrpting and you always received our calls and prayed us through the situation(s).) Your wisdom and brilliance is a force to be reckoned with, as was your joy for life!
Uncle Sutter, your spirit will remain with us, forever!
Condolences to everyone, especially the immediate and extended family because you were a strong father figure and mentor to more than the Smith family you and Aunt Margia Ree delivered into this world.
