Smith family, We are so very sorry for your loss. W.T. was a very kind and gentle man that we respected very much all through our childhood and into adults. Every time our paths would cross as adults he always had time to sit and talk with us and share his life and family events with us. God bless you all and give you peace as you grieve your loss and joy as you celebrate that he is with his Lord now.

Being the youngest child of Ernest & Mae Humphrey, I remember visiting you-all when Uncle Charlie and Aunt Ressie lived with you. W.T. & Ressie displayed such warm hospitality to us. Mother held Aunt Ressie in such high regard. I was amazed that she had made many crocheted items for the home, even though she was blind. They are all rejoicing in heaven, seeing, now. God grant you His comfort and peace. Sandy
