Fond Memories
I first met Mr. Smith when I worked at the Home Office for Colonial Life. On our first conversation he scolded me for attending the wrong school....NC A&T SU. From that day forward we became instant friends. There was not a week that went by that I did not call him or Erica or Rosetta just to say hi and check on things with all of them. Likewise he would always call and try to convince me that I should sell insurance and move to GA.
He will truly be missed by all. I will remember his laughter and his ability to always tell it like it is no matter what you thought about what he said. I know that he truly loved his family because of the many stories he told me on the phone while I was multi-tasking with work and talking to him.
I am sad to know that I will not have those laughs and conversations any more but I am also glad that he is no longer suffering and that he is finally at rest. We talked so much about his family and mine that I feel that I not only lost a friend but a treasured family member. Your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Remember the times you shared together and cherish the memories of his wonderful life.
