Obituary for JOHN WALTER SMITH, SR.
St. John 14:1-4
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Special Tribute
We thought of you with love, but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday, and the day before that too.
We think of you in silence, and we often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memories are our keepsake, with which we will never part.
God has you in his keeping, and we have you in our heart.
We love you Uncle Jake.
