Facebook Twitter GoogleMrs. Smith’s family,
I did not know your Mother/Grandmother, but was very touched by her memorial video (I started watching because my Mom was a Smith, so I’m always curious if I might recognize anyone, and she came from a big family)! The memorial video really touched me as it shows Mrs. Smith’s love and admiration for horses throughout her life. I was brought to tears when it showed her in her wheelchair, just days ago, interacting with her horse. What a beautiful tribute to her life. May God bless her and keep her family close.

Facebook Twitter GoogleI always loved Aunt Jeanette, I cherished spending time at the farm with her and Uncle Bruce as a boy when we would visit Indiana. Seems I remember they would try and put up a tough exterior, but I knew better. So thankful that are together now. Sincere love and condolences. Jack L. Smith Jr

Facebook Twitter GoogleSo sorry to hear this. Lots of great memories. She told my daddy that if they got a girl’s barrel racing in Indiana, he had to get me a barrel horse. They did and he did. Start of a long disease. Loved to watch her and Arbuckle Shin. Happy Trails Cowgirl. You left a great memory.
