Condolences for the family of “Mother Earline Smith”
I fondly remember Mrs. Earlier attending our church during the time of our two deceased pastors Owens and Stewart. She would attend the choir anniversaries and was always moved by the songs of praise rendered. I recently saw her at Athens attending another homegoing and we briefly reminisced about the good times we had. Family, I express my sincere sympathy to you all during this time of bereavement. Rest in peace in His presence.
*Earline*
