Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of Velvet Smith. As one of the guys; It was a pleasure to have Known Velvet. Sincerely, Co-worker and friend, Fred Higgins Jr.

I was close to your family especially Mary Louise Smith, when we shared rides to work daily and my daughter related to her as one of her personal friends! She wanted to share conversations with Mary as if she was one of her playmates. She was extremely tolerant of those rides to work! I also respected your Mom, Dad, sister and brother. You always greeted those you met with a genuine smile and our co-workers loved how you treated them and the clients at TDHS. Rev. Smith, your mom, brother and sister will be there to help you transition to be with them and others who have gone on before you to that final place of worship/praise/rest✝️

The world is a better place because you and your family lived on this earth.

My condolences to the family. I worked with Velvet at the Department of Human Services for many years. He was a very sweet and kind person.

Suzanne Nicholson Clark
