We’re so incredibly sorry for your loss. Mr. Smith was incredibly kind and patient. He was a light over the years. While we understand the pain, we also know that God is ever present and with you in your time of sorrow. Our deepest condolences and sincerest prayers are with you.

Love Your Neighbors and Friends,
 Angela, DeAnn, and Miss Ann

My cousin Ronnie was gracious enough to be part of two monumental events in my life. He was always willing  to be there for you when you had a need. I will be forever grateful to him for blessing our home. More importantly, for marrying Ron and I - I will always cherish those memories. Rest in peace..

Ron and Lynn Small

When I was going threw a ruff time Bra flew to Germany, where I was stationed to spend a week with me.  He helped me more than I could say, just being together with my Brother.   Ron told me before he passed  after returning from Europe he got closer to God and wanted to serve him.  To the end that's what he did and as a beliver I know where he is.

Wishing you peace, comfort, courage and strength in this time of sorrow. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear. just know that the family is in my thoughts and prayers. Ronnie (cousin) always greeted me with a smile. He will definitely be missed.

Ronnie was an eternal presence in the lives and events of the Smith and extended families. I was fortunate to be present at his inaugural sermon and my respect and appreciation for his spiritual guidance has grown progressively since then. His transition has created a void in our family and the community that will be difficult to replace. 
As difficult as it seems now, 
To God Be The Glory 🙏🏽

Sending prayers and condolences as you go through this difficult time.
May God’s presence give you strength and comfort.

Sending my prayers to the family. Going over to cousin Ronnie's and Maria's was a delicacy. My grandmother Iantha Phillips would not go out for much, but when the invite presented it's self we went. Cousin Ronnie was always happy go lucky and cheerful. Thank you for speaking at my Granny's funeral. You will forever have a special place in my heart. Rest well you and my granny

Sending my condolences to the family during this difficult time. May you find strength in knowing he’s always with you in spirit.

To the family sorry for your loss.  As a neighbor, I remember Ron goodness and kind hearted toward others. Sending prayers to the family.

Ron and all his siblings at my house in November.   They all came to my Deacon Ordination in North Carolina.   This was the last time we were all together.

Our heart aches as we navigate through the pain of losing our brother/sister/ husband/ father/grandfather/friend/ family . Ronny's memory will forever be cherished, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of all of us who loved him. May God continue to protect and order your steps.
Love,
Iantha's babies.
