Debra Smith-Feemster & The Smith Family:
You are in Our Thoughts as You Honor Your Mother. We Will Never Forget Your Mother's Face, The Sound of Her Voice nor The Tenderness of Her Touch ...
Your Mom-Dad's 'HOME' Welcomed ALL. They Ensured THE 'HOME' was Worthy Of and Treated With Reverence; by Respecting and Appreciating Each Individual.
Their Prominent Roles Held in Family-Extended Family-Community and The School System; Were Evidenced in The Respect Accorded.
That Respect was Not Only Attained, But Imparted by Them. To Be Surmounted SOLELY by Their Devotion-Sacrifice-Commitment to Their Family and Every Individual Encountered.
The Constructive-Rewarding Atmosphere They Created-Nurtured at 'HOME' Was UnMistakable; And Inspired Our Family to Celebrate Holidays and Special Moments with You By:
** Gathering at Their Home **
** Being Part of Your Family **
And, As We Adoringly Recognized Them
"MR/MRS Smith-Mama Shirley-Daddy Don-Smithy-Shirley-Don-... ";
** By Experiencing and Being Clothed With Their !SPECIAL-LOVE! **
Your Mom-Dad and Their 'HOME' Was Consistent with the VALUES Bern-Rudy Espoused-Embraced for Us.
Your Mom-Dad's 'HOME' Was The True EMBODIMENT Of Their Impressive DIGNITY & INTEGRITY; Conspicuous In The Following Ways:
'LOVE-WISDOM-ERUDITION-TRANQUILITY-HARMONY!'
Deepest-Profound SYMPATHY & COMFORT!
Your Mom-Dad Were Not Only Role Models-HEROS of Ours Too; But Had An Enormous Impact on Our Lives. They Were Indispensable Matriarch-Patriarch Extensions for Our Family.
LOVINGLY,
Bern-Steph-Rudy Lewis Sr.
Margaret-Rudy Jr. & Family
