I am so missing your voice and those days you would come to Party City and hollor my name. All those times we cut up and hung out at your house. What I wouldn't do to have you back if not for just one more day. I love you and know you are with our lord in heaven.

I will always remember Mrs. Smith so fondly. I used to love visiting Savannah with Linton during our college years, primarily to hang out with Mrs. Smith. I have not seen her much in recent years, however, we did talk on the phone quite often. I somehow reversed Linton and Mrs. Smiths phone numbers and when I would call Linton, Mrs. Smith would pick up and we would have these long, fun, lively conversations. So much so that when we hung up I would forget to call Linton! I will miss her terribly. Chris Just

My heart is full of amazing memories of adventures with Dot. Our ride in the golf cart took the cake. The thought of Dot and Mildred together again brings a smile, but...she will be greatly missed. Our condolences, Jennie and Mark Reese

My deepest condolences to the Smith family. May you find comfort in knowing that our Creator promises to be near those that are broken at heart. Ps. 34:17-18.

Dear Mrs Smith, You were a mom to all of the kids on the Creek, always welcoming us despite our muddy feet with all sorts of food and drink. Some treats we were nervous to try fish roe, and you always got a kick out our reactions. You were eager to learn the latest scoop, who was dating who, showing genuine interest in our lives. When we went off to college, you taught us how to tailgate before the Bulldog Games. There was always a sense of celebration when you were around. When we got married and had children, you welcomed our kids to your home with the same love and generosity. Thank you for so many fond memories. You will be missed. Love, Janice Allison, Linton and Theresa my thoughts and heart go out to you at this difficult time. Sending you my love. Wish I could be there today.
