grandpa early years

On October 14, 2012 The Lustgarten Foundation had a Pancreatic Cancer Walk and over 7,000 people showed up and raised more than one million dollars for Pancreatic Cancer Research.That same day my grandfather made his transition from Labor to Reward. He was a man of great faith and I hope this website inspires you to do a little more than you did yesterday because he always did.

My Big Brother Mason, 10 years has passed, but you remain in our hearts forever. We miss you Brother! Miss your love, warm smile, and strong embrace. I do want to share some news with you. One year ago today, 14 Oct 2021, nine years after you went home to see Jesus, my Granddaughter London Noelle was born. You were God's gift to us, and 14 Oct 2012, God brought His gift Home. Nine years later, from His Holy throne, He sent us London. She will get to know you because I will share you, her Great Uncle with her. The date of her birth was the same date of your transition. I love you! Cholly Rock.

My Big Brother Mason Jr, I miss you more than people know. Our whole family misses you. You were the one who kept all of us well aware of our responsibilities as it relates to our legacy; the value of the Farm, the importance of family, and doing what is right. As we continue to live up to the standards of excellence you expected, you are remembered! We love you Big Brother!

There are very few days that go by where I don't ind myself thinking about my father! Most often it is at the beginning and end of my day because I try to always start/end with prayer. Since my father was a praying man, it just comes natural that I think about his presence when I focus on my Heavenly Father. It is comforting to know that he too is being held in God's presence looking down on his beloved children from above. Happy 75th birthday daddy and know that we love and miss you very much! Tammy

As I reflect on the passing of my dearest and oldest brother today, words seem inadequate to convey my feelings. I want to remember the fond times we shared, the words of encouragement, his sincerity and zest for life that surely made him a remarkable child of the King, His Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. I love you and miss you very much!

This is the day that The Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! Today would have been my dear brother, Mason Smith, Jr's 73rd birthday. Although he isn't here in the physical, his spirit is, and he's remembered with all the love from his family on this day. Words are simply inadequate to convey my emotions; he's with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Amen. Matthews Smith

This is the birth month of my dear Brother, Mason Smith Jr, on 31 Aug. Just want to say, "I miss you Big Brother, very much." I miss his smile, his presence, and his kind words at the end of our phone calls when he'd say, "I love you Lil Brother."  But I know I will see him again someday in that sweet by and by! Yes sweet Jesus, in that sweet by and by.

I will remember your consistent gratefulness for the simple things out of life such as your health, your strength, and your peace of mind. Whenever I become stressed from formulas, design projects, and engineering deadlines, I will remember as you did the subtle more important things in life. The goodness of God which never changes.

My Brother, Mason Smith Jr, set the example for all his Brothers and Sisters of what it means to sacrifice in life and stand in the face of the reality of the evening of that life and said, "Lord, whatever Your will is for my life, I accept it!" Thank you My Brother for teaching us...we've been strengthened by witnessing your sacrifices and courage! I love you, your Brother, CRSmith.

I can speak for the entire Smith family that you will be missed. You've touched so many lives and for that we are grateful. You were the perfect example of a Godly man, thank you for unselfishly giving so much of yourself. It was always your custom to never say goodbye at the end of conversations and so on this day, we won't say Goodbye. "We will say see you later"

I've seen better days, but I have also seen worse. I dont have everything that I want but I do have all I need. I woke up with some aches and pains, but I woke up. My life may not be perfect but I am blessed.

Grandpa your gumbo brought us together and your wonderfully prepared breakfast gave new meanings to every morning we came to stay with you and grandma. You taught us so many life lessons that only a wise man would know. You were an outstanding leader for this family. Thank you for the memories and the moments--something cancer can never take away.



Love Your Grandchildren....
