It has been over 30 years since I saw Mrs. Smith but I know she was fiercely loyal to her family. I wish I had visited her before this. I will always admire and respect her feisty nature. I actually like that about her and I now see it in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mrs. Smith, I will always see you in your family and in that way, you will always live on.
With Loving regards,
Mary
