It has been our pleasure to know Bill Smith for many years. Bill was a wonderful Christian man who loved the Lord and his family very much. He served in many ways at Friendship Baptist Church and he was loved by many. Most people would retire but not Bill. He worked 6 days a week until he got sick recently. We have always admired him and will miss him at church and being in our lives.
