I am sincerely sorry for you loss. Your Dad and Mom were always so kind and generous to me as a kid growing up in Corey Woods. I will never forget all the swim meets we attended or the time they drove us to Carowinds in the Volkswagen Rabbit (Amy, Alan, Jimbo and me). They truly loved all of you very much. I know this must be a tough day for you, but my heart is with you.

To the family of Mr. Smith I would like to offer my condolences. To Sherri I admire the love and care you extend to all those in your home. Your Dad was fortunate to have raised such a kind and caring daughter. With both of your parents gone you may feel alone but you still have lots of family that need you. Rest in peace Mr. Smith.
