My aunt Helen,
You are now with my uncle Makie! A match made in heaven. For 50 yrs and as long as i can remember you have been apart of my life. And what i remember is a kind loving person who made you feel welcomed and at home. I was so honored to be asked to sing at your funeral. I hope i made you proud.

Mrs. Smothers, you are sorely missed. I'll never forget your ear-to-ear smile, and your signature, "How's ya' momma?" You were of the last generation of mothers in our neighborhood we all saw as another parent. Those you left behind are better people just because of you. In deepest sincerity, Joey
