To the family of the late Ms. Vera Smith & family:
We greet you in the joy of Jesus, the hope of the Holy Spirit, and with
God's grace.
It's in these times of sorrow where the love and support of our families
mean so very much to us all. Even though miles may physically separate
some of us on today, our love and compassion is spiritually present with
you.
Aunt Vera, as we knew as children, will always be remembered as a loving
and kind soul. We shall never forget the great food, times, and the
laughs we shared at Granny's house with her & the family!
God, in His infinite wisdom places people in our lives for reasons and
seasons. Our family was blessed to have known her and to have
experienced the unconditional love shown to us.
We pray that God will grant added strength to the family now and
forerver more, as you celebrate this great legacy of love, life, and
laughs shared by so many.
Please know that our thoughts, prayers, and love are with you.
Respectfully & sorrowfully submitted,
The daughters & family of the late Mamie "Git" Byse.
