To my family, I offer my prayers and thoughts of peace for you all. May we all be comforted by our Father and by the loving memories that we have shared with Grenard! May those memories be light in the challenging days ahead and may his laugh, his willingness to lend a hand, his love for life and living be that which keeps us moving forward trusting God in all things, at all times just like he did! Love you all—- your cousin Tracie Hibbler Charlie Mae Smith's daughter

To the Smith I want to offer my most heartfelt condolences to the family. I work in the Infusion Center where Mr. Smith came for his treatment. We would have a great time talking especially the Kansas City Chiefs because I'm from Missouri. I love the support he got from his family especially his sister. When she couldn't make it to his treatment she would make sure someone was with him that's love. I pray God give them the comfort they need.🙏🙏🙏💔
