Smitty was an awesome neighbor of mine for years. I'll never forget talking over the fence (esp. during grass cutting times) while he held his little dog and Alice calling out the door that it was lunch or dinner.He's been missed in our little neighborhood on the hill. We'll keep your family in our prayers as you go through this difficult time. God Bless you all. Linda (Across the street from yur dad's on Meadow Dr.)

Dear Marcia and family: I am sorry to hear about your father's passing and knowing this is especially hard during the holidays. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. Know my thoughts are with you. I am here in Florida and will be unable to be with you at the viewing during this difficult time. I was telling my mother how you always took care of your dad, someone was always there at supper and you would go after work and I always admired your family for that. May God's peace be with you. Sue C.
