What a great picture of Mrs. Smith. It appears that she just told another one of her funny stories, one of many that she shared with me. I will always remember her smiling face, positive attitude, witty humor, driven determination, respect (had to earn that) :), friendship, zest for living and unconditional love for her family. I am honored that she literally flagged me down and in her way with words, pretty much told me I was taking over her yard. Try saying no to that. It's been six years since that day and I'm still taking care of her yard. I've grown to love Mrs. Smith dearly and will miss her so very much. She was a most giving and kind lady. My heart aches and my deepest sympathies are extended to Bud, Patty, Janice, Eileen and Linda, her family who she so loved and talked about all the time with that twinkle in her eyes. Blessings to all.
