Condolences 01-04-2010 Letty, May God continue to Bless and strengthen you during this time. We love you and will always be here for you. Be Blessed! Sent by: Joyce Winbush 01-04-2010 Greg was very special to me. We spent alot more time together as adults than we did as children. We visited each others' homes on various occasions. I always knew Greg loved me and would be "there" for me if/when I needed him. That meant alot. I love him, and miss him already. Letty, thank you for taking such excellent care of him, for loving him during the difficult times and bringing us all joy just knowing you. God bless you always. Sent by: Kay (Smith) Spurlock 01-04-2010 Our heartfelt sympathy & condolence to our loving sister Bebe Letty. We may not be physically present in your hour of bereavement but our thoughts and prayers are always with you. Greg will be sadly missed and will always be remembered by all of us. Mama, Lowell & Merle, Ryan & Girlie, Dickey, Harold, Harvey Sent by: Lowell O. Belcina & Family 01-03-2010 So many years ago...all of us kids, so much fun, carefree and growing up on Amy Street! I remember the furniture store in the corner of Pleasant Grove Shopping Center where Greg and Ricky's dad, Dean, worked. Precious, long ago memories of our journey on this earth. My thoughts and prayers are with the Smith families thru this difficult time. Sent by: Brenda Nielen Hill 01-03-2010 Lette, I am truly sorry for your loss. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet Greg at Chris's house and I will always remember his great sense of humor. Sent by: Deborah Mabrey 01-03-2010 I loved Greg. I didn't get to know him very well until just a couple of years ago, but I'm so glad I did. I will miss his emails and talking with him. I'm sorry for your loss, but glad he's at peace now and no longer in pain. Sent by: Marian Naik 01-03-2010 It's time rest in peace my brother. No more fighting the pain. You've won your long battle. When we all get up there with you we will start the football games, the track meets and the baseball games over again and become winners all together again. I still remember the weekend of a holiday when three Texas Tech football players challenged you, Don and me to touch football. We were barely in high school and we tore em up and almost had to fight em to get away from John Ireland. We are all 62 now and I will never forget. Peace my brother and don't get too itchy waiting for us. Again, rest in peace and share youself with the Lord. Lette, God bless you for being there and take care of one of us old Grove Rats. We all look up to you for your love and caring you gave to him. It will be lonely without him but remember who he is with now and that will comfort you. Thanks for being there, Rimp Sent by: Randy (Rimp) Rimpley 01-03-2010 We lived right across the street from Greg, his brother, mom and dad. Those were the good old days when you could actually walk to the Pleasant Grove Shopping Center and pay a visit to Mr. Smith. My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Sent by: Susan Henry Brown 01-02-2010 Remembering the good "ole" days driving Greg and my brothers, Ron and Don (sometimes Rimpley) to school, football games and school dances, Seems like a short time ago. Greg always remembered the "dragon" I had on my dash in my 1956 blue chevy. God bless. From: Johnn K Adams Sent by: Johnny Adams 01-02-2010 Lette I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it's been a long journey for both of you. We'll sing especially for you Sunday. Sent by: Kathy Olsovsky 01-01-2010 Greg fought a great fight and I'm glad I had the chance to visit with him last year. He will be missed by his friends and family. God be with you and may he comfort your loss. Sent by: Kenneth Ross
