I came to know Rev Smith through his sister Christine, who was a dear friend. He was a preaching and singing man of God. I kept up with his health through his daughter Christine,who I knew as a child and have come to know and love as an adult. . Rev Smith served well and has earned his eternal rest.My prayers are with his family.

It´s hard to believe that now all of dad´s siblings are gone from this side, but praise be to God, you´re all in Heaven! I can relate to the hurt and loss that you all are experiencing right now, and may God strengthen and keep you! I´ll miss the funny things that uncle would say whenever I saw him, and that amazing baritone voice he had! I´ll also miss his singing and preaching years back, but I know I´ll see him and all my other uncles and aunts one glorious day! From the Beam Family, we sincerely share your grief and loss, and you have our deepest sympathies and condolences. We love you. Bblessed
