I'm really gonna miss you Mother Smith!! I met you at age 6 and you took me in as another grandchild at 12 after losing my great grandmother. Blood couldn't have made us any closer. I'm just finding out about this news and so sorry I wasn't there to give my last kiss and pay my respects. I love you so much, and I know that you're in a better place.
Rest in peace Ms.Smith๐๐๐น
