Life will never be the same without our loved one, Milton Ellison Smith. Milton battled Parkinson’s disease for the last several years of his life. Parkinson’s is an awful disease. It afflicted him, mind and body, sometimes spirit. But we praise God that he’s not in pain any longer. No more shaking. No more rigidity. He is clear-minded. He is free. We hope he’s pitching perfect curve balls like he’s always wanted to do in the really Big Leagues in Paradise.

We are so grateful God allowed us to have him in our lives for a time. He will be in our hearts forever.
