Some years ago after Mawmaw moved in with Lisa and Marcus and family, we celebrated New Year's Eve with them. Mawmaw was right in there with us. She was playing Wii bowling with the rest of us! Such a great memory. The Garretts

Daisy Smith had the kindest spirit and was willing to help others. I worked at the bank with her. I remember how comfortable she made me feel. She helped me learn about being a teller. Her smile could brighten my day. Thank you for sharing your mom with me.Dana Roberts

I would like to extend my condolences to the family of Daisy M. Smith. The loss of a loved one can be heavy on the heart, but I want you to know that God hears your prayers and He knows that you are brokenhearted and grieving the loss of your loved one. Did you know that God makes a promise to you and your family of what He will do at Psalms 147:3 He says I will heal the brokenhearted and bind up their hurtful spots. God is the healer of hearts. Because He is the God of all comfort as the bible says at Isaiah 61:2 he guarantees there is hope for our dead loved ones at John 5:28-29, Jesus tells of this resurrection hope. I hope this bring your family much comfort and may the God of comfort wrap His loving arms around you and your family at this time.
