  7. Our sympathy to the Smith Family.
    It is so hard to lose your Mom. It is a void that can not be filled.
    Betty was a loving wife and Mom to all those boys! The pride she had was very evident when she talked about each of you.
    Betty and I (Sue) shared a birthdate and we tried to greet each other on February 1 -it was very often at a basketball game! I will continue to think of her on “our birthday” .
    God give you peace in the days ahead.

  15. I would like to extend my deepest heartfelt sympathies to Betty’s entire family. I did not know Betty, but I have recently had the honor of meeting one of her sons, Dr. Staurt Smith, who stands out brightly with great character, a very decent and caring young man. I have no doubts that he inherited those qualities from both Betty and Stanley. I would have no doubt that Betty must have been so very proud of her children and their off spring. I was privileged to hear recently a few stories about Betty’s life from Stuart, she sounded to be a remarkable lady. I hope God helps to ease the sadness within your hearts, that I am sure is with you all at this time, and leave you with only the wonderful memories that you shared with Betty.
