To our family,

We regret that we can't be with you physically as you memorialize and reflect today. We do uphold the Smith tradition of caring and loving that Grandpa Exum and Grandma Ora fostered in us. So, though absent, we hold fond memories and share a moment of laughter as we think of you and "Teen" today.

A personal note from me is to remember Teen, along with cousins Floross and Shirley. I thought they were the prettiest girls around.

God bless and grant all you need for this time.
