“In loving memory of Dorton Smith, May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you. Maria, Losing a Daddy is different and very painful in its own way. I was 17 when my Daddy died and it hit me harder than I knew, cause we didn’t have a very good relationship. I am thankful you had him much longer and a better understanding & relationship. You may not ferl it right now cause it’s so fresh and painful. You are an intelligent, beautiful woman and have plenty of faith. ❤”
