It saddens me everytime I think of this major loss for everyone, but you're in a better place. I'm going to miss my hugs and kisses on the cheek never knowing that early Saturday morning was going to be the last kiss and hug. I never imagined seeing you lying there, but you were and still a hundred in my book Jigga. I'm going to really miss you and your big smile. Rest on and keep smiling down on us. I give my deepest sympathy to the entire Smith family. You're gone, but will never be forgotten by us all.

To the Smith family my prayers goes out to you all. I've watch Garrelle grow up and he have always been nice to my mama and daddy. When my dad past a few weeks ago he came and gave his condolence. He was never in the area and didn't stop by to say hello to my mom. So for that Garrelle u will be missed! So may u rest in peace.
