GOD BLESS-

Though I have only known Ms Smith for 2-2 1/2 years, she has made an imprint in my life as if she has been there the entire time. She was such a beautiful and funny person and made it easier to come to college on days that wasn't to thrilling. Very helpful and thoughtful. Again, though I have only known her for a couple of yrs, I am proud to say that I DO know her... I've learned that WE can not be selfish with the angles that GOD has let into our lives, but we can take what we've learned from the Angels and pass it on to others.. And Ms Leana Smith was definitely an Angel!!!! GOD BLESS

Dearest Smith family, I worked with Miss Lena at Wells Fargo and I must say she was a "true lady". I loved her beauty and sense of life. She was one in a million. My heart is heavy and my prayers go out to you all during this time. RIP Miss Lena, I will always remember you. Thank you for being my friend. Denise Hewlings

Dear Vivian & Family,

My heart skipped a beat when I received the call that Miss Lena went to be with the Lord. I remember how she was right there with us during our mom's transition. She was always so much fun and always made me smile. My prayer is that God will give you and your family love, comfort, strength and most of all His Perfect Peace during this time.

WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT, BUT JOY, GOD'S JOY WILL COME IN THE MORNING.

WITH ALL OUR LOVE,
THE PHARR FAMILY
