Betty Jo Smart wrote a sympathy message

“I sit here this morning before your service thinking of how lucky I was to be able to care for you all those years. You were strong and we pushed together through all those tough times. I did not realize though that you were too tired this last time. I wanted you to push more but you were exhausted. You told me you were ready. I just did not want you to go. There is truly a bond that will never be broken. Our home is filled with great memories. miss you already”
