Marie Smith Celebration Lap

Marie died peacefully and, finally, without pain at home, overlooking her garden and in the arms of her family.

She was our guiding light and our hearts are broken; but not so much that we won't try to live up to her example by drawing strength from our family and expressing love and joy at all of the good we see around us.

So long as we do that, she'll never be far away and we'll always be able to count on her guidance.
