In Memory of Virgie Smith

I, Wayne Smith, would like to thank all the family and friends that showed their love and care through my worst time of sorrow. Some brought food, some sent flowers, some just shook my hand, but we thank you all. It means so much to have everyone drop everything and think of you.

Missing loved ones
A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says grieve not for me.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.
Go on with your life don’t worry about me.
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes we’re together again.

In Memory of Eli Marcum

This month will mark 4 full months since the day I recieved the news a body was found that belonged to my daddy.  I put his picture in the paper to ask for prayers to ease this sadness that has engulfed my thougts and overpowers my mind.  I put his picture in the paper to ask for prayers for those in my family and those that knew and loved my daddy.  I put his picture in the paper because it is evident I need the power of prayer to put my mind at ease about the daddy I loved with every piece of me. Most of all, I put his picture of me and my daddy in the paper to remind people that above all my daddy was more than a mug shot displayed on t.v. and on paper.  To me my daddy was my world and without him I am lost.   Despite this tragedy, I will strive and fight to keep love in my heart, kindness in my thoughts, and forgiveness in my actions because I want to honor the values he instilled in me.  My daddy gave me the greatest gift in the world, a gift I carry everyday, and a gift no man can ever take; unconditional love.   Again, I ask for prayers that those who committed this act will find forgiveness for thier decisions and will find the grace to ease the minds of my family.  I find myself looking at this picture all the time of my sweet daddy and remembering all the times he made me laugh when nobody else could, eased my sadness when I was heavy hearted, and comforted my heart when it ached.  The ones we love never really leave us, and my daddy will always live on through me.    
 

Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
 
Love Always
Your Daughter S.S.
