Guestbook

  1. Mr. Smith was a very pleasant person to be around. We truly will remember him as being cordial to our family at all times. Our son was his son-in-law and dearly enjoyed him as a father-in-law. When he was ill, Mr. Smith cared for him as if he was his own and always said "I had a good son-in-law.". To the family be thankful for the many times you gathered for his birthday or just to enjoy being with him. He loved every minute you shared with him.
