We search for understanding when those who shine light in dark places ascend to rest and reward. Often,there is none to be found on this side of eternity. I remember walking into St.Peter,AOH on Lansdowne Blvd in Youngstown with my mom and siblings. It was there that I met Arnold, Tina and their parents, and first experienced his beautiful gift of song.I attended school for several years with them but none more memorable than our time at ThE Rayen School. Arnold was usually found either providing comic relief by joking with friends,or filling the classroooms and halls with the song in his heart.Among many fond memories are those when he would mimic his dad preaching. How appropo,and what self fulfilling prophecy, to learn that what we were witnessing was the beginning of what would be his Destiny and life work. It is a life well lived, when those who knew speak well of you in truth, and you leave a legacy of love and service as evidence of your purposeful existence. Arnold touched the lives of many,gave freely, authentically. His absence leaves a void fillable only by TheMostHigh in the hearts of his Rayen c/o90 family,his natural family, spiritual family, friends and all those who knew& loved him. In this season, may his family be bound together with love, fortified with a perfect peace, may every tear release a measure of strength giving joy. Arnold served with excellence. May you ever rest in peace and power dear old friend. As you sang many times, Hallelujah, you finally made it! Fateama (Cosper) Fisher

My sincere condolences to the entire Smith family. I remember when Pitt and Katina were younger and I would be at the house, they would be cracking jokes on each other making me laugh. Great memories, I am truly sorry may he rest in peace. God bless the family๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพโœ๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

Thank you for choosing me to be one of your children. I remember the day you asked about being a father figure in my life. You didn't know that I don't have a relationship with my donor and never had a father figure. All in all you saw me worth enough to have that and to be that for me. I will cherish the times in person and our check-ins every now and then just to say I still care. I love you dad and I am forever grateful to have met you and to have had you apart of my life.

My Brother was truly a soilder in the army of the Lord.Stayed on the battlefield for the Lord.Singing and Preaching like only he could. We shared October 10th our birthday.Thank God for your life. Truly fought a good fight,well done good and faithful servant.Enter into the joy of the Lord.Rest well my brother..

Pitt...I know you can't hear us now. But I'm so glad that a few months back God spoke through me to you. I'm glad I had the opportunity to say what thus say the lord. I'm always reminded that we don't know what's best..try to figure out the why's behind the what and we will still be left with the unknown. But one thing for sure God doesn't make mistakes even if our heart is heavy with the grief. There is a time and place for everything under the sun. I'm praying for Bishop and Momma Smith. But more importantly your Best Friend Evg. KaTina. Know that God will keep you all. Phones will stop ringing, people will go on with their lives while your left with memories and sometimes tears. Know this...God is with you all till the ends of the earth. Trust in God. Love you all.

Pitt, this doesn't seem real. We will pray for your family and that each one will aee you again. I pray yout wisdom poured into them will have deep roots. We will prat for wife, mom, and dad and support them through this time. We miss your smile and love for family.

Dad, I will miss you forever. There are so many things I wish you could hear and laugh at with me like we used to. Things will never be the same. I've really been amazed at how much of you is in me, and I couldn't be more proud to have had you as an example. I will look for you every day. It's about to get awkward, but I love you. Always have and always will. Love your favorite child, Kenz.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
