Stevie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts. She is your guardian angel now and will be watching over you every day.

Stevie and Skippy, we are heart broken for you and your family. You are loved greatly.

Darryl and Jean Davis, and the rest of Likk'rd Up

My dearest Smith family (yes, according to this beautiful matriarch, I am family!), it is with a complexity of emotions that I sign this guest book. I am deeply saddened because I know how heartbroken you all are because your Mom, Mommy, ‘Gaga'  Grandma & MY ‘Lady Mary', is no longer physically with us. I know how much you all love her and that she so deeply loved each of you. I am saddened by the reality that it will be awhile, before I get to hear that sweet, angelic voice speak to me sharing  wisdom and kindness. Likewise, the last “I love you” that she and I exchanged, will be our last - for awhile. I am exceedingly blessed that God graced me - to meet, to know, to love and be loved by such a God-fearing, strong, feisty, beautiful, loving, kind, caring, & remarkable woman! My heart is glad that she transitioned, into sweet, peaceful rest (sleeping beauty style), with some of her beautiful babies giving her love and receiving love from her, as she listened to “I Can Only Imagine” (a song which was both one of our favorites, which somehow, during all those countless conversations that we have shared, I do not recall us sharing our common appreciation of that beautiful song). Lastly, my heart rejoices, because I know, in just a little while, those of us who like her, love and accept God as our Lord and obey His commandments we will meet again!  

Continued prayers for comfort and peace, as well as love to you all, MY Smith family
