Linda Smith -Gaines
The Smith family of Grove Point Road send their deepest sympathies to Rae Nell, Bucky, Jeffery and all of their fine family members at this regrettable time of mourning.
Your loving mother gave to us all the love and the exceptional caring equally reserved to close family members.
Her perennial smile and neighborly thoughtfulness will be in our heart and minds throughout our lifetime. Her humane love of all living things shown thru inner devotion to the lovely gardens filled with flowers and natural gifts of nature that are a monument to her to this day.
Dodie..We know your love of God will be internally rewarded in His kingdom for the selfless work you gave Him on Earth. We know He has a special place for you there.
We join your family and the many others that will miss you and we will have you in our hearts from this day forward.
With love,
Teresa Smith-Purvis, Duane L. Smith and Linda Smith-Gaines.
