Healing prayers and blessings to the family,you all have my deepest sympathy RIHP MIKE SMITH,you will never be forgotten.
I can picture Michael sitting on him porch if he saw dark clouds forming he would say " don't yall see those clouds " that was his way of saying it's time to go inside. I remember how he would cook on his grill. Now we must trust that we can see Mike again.Psalm 37:11 The righteous will possess the earth,and they will will live forever on it.Righteous means to do what is right. Thinking about you all at this diffcult time. Barbara Golden
My sincere condolences to Michael's family. He'll be missed by so many because he was a friend to many, especially the Hard Bargain community. Rest well, my friend.
The Coffey and Locke family would like to extend our heartfelt condolences you are all in our prayers.
Sending prayers and thoughts of comfort and solace during this difficult time to the Smith family. Growing up on Mt Hope Street being neighbors with Rev. Bob Smith and Ms. Dinah, I've known Michael practically my entire life! Was classmates my entire school years with his daughter Shawn. Having lost both my parents over 6 years ago, I can say the grief subsides, but never fades. But have peace in knowing Michael isn't in any more pain. He's not suffering. He is being comforted and embraced in the loving arms of God. May the Lord keep Michael and the entire Smith family.
I would like to extend my condolences to the Smith Family in the loss of your loved one. May God continue to comfort you during this time of sorrow.
To the family of Michael Smith, I am so sorry for your loss. God does answer prayers, he heard brother Smith's cry out in pain, and he is now absent from the body and present with the Lord. He has been welcomed in that land of "No More". May God bless and keep you is my prayer.
To the family of Comrade James Michael Smith, please accept our sincerest heartfelt condolences in the loss of your beloved one and our brother. We pray that you will lean and trust in our heavenly father during your time of sorrow. He has a cup for all of your tears.
