Dear Daniel, Amy, Carol and all the family of Zeb Smith Jr,
My heart, prayers and thoughts are with you all. We grew up in that PK legacy. My Dad, your Dad, my Mom and your Mom and all the young people of Taylor Memorial that grew together are so blessed to have been family. I remember Zeb's. humble spirit, his smile, his love of others and of God. He stayed close to us even after Charles and I married, and had children, and we saw his consistent dedication to God in his concern and quiet presence before Him. After we moved to Mt Pleasant, Mama talked about his care and dedication to Rowena. I am sure he was the best uncle to your children and the best brother to you all,. Your family was such an inspiration to us., and you will always be our family. I miss Charles and Mom so much, yet rejoice that Zeb, Daddy, Mama, and Rowena and Charles are in the presence of our precious Lord and rejoicing around the Throne. Zeb Jr. joins them, and I can almost hear their beautiful voices singing in the Choir! There are no words for the void we feel, and I am praying for you all with love, always
