Mrs Smith was such a beautiful soul! I'll always remember her for that contagious smile and her perfect lady demeanor. She made us understand that class was an aura of confidence; that is, being sure without being arrogant or cocky, which is something all ladies should aspire for. Take your rest Mrs Smith. I'll see you on the other side! Linda

Linda Webster-Smith

Dr. Smith was one of my favorite teachers and a true inspiration in my life. Her wisdom, kindness, and passion for teaching left a lasting impact on me. She encouraged me to believe in myself and helped me realize that there was nothing I could not achieve with determination and hard work. I am truly grateful for the influence she had on my life, and she will always be remembered with great respect and appreciation. My heartfelt condolences to her family and all who were blessed to know her.

Connie Mallory-Armstrong

My condolences to the family of Alice Smith, I have fond memories of her a teenager , doing small chores for her when the kids were small . We enjoyed having them as neighbors on Morehouse Ave . The Bible tells us that death is an enemy and it will be brought to nothing (1 Corinthians 15:6 , Revelation 21:3,4 ) we can look forward to that promise with confidence. The Bible gives hope for those we have lost in death( John 5:28,29) praying for you all in the days and weeks to come . The Pepper/ Scott Family 🌺
