Autumn Schmidt Gentle says
I can’t remember a time when my Mamaw wasn’t smiling or making someone else smile.
She was God’s love personified and she loved unconditionally.
I will spend the rest of my life missing her and waiting to see that beautiful smile when I see her in Heaven someday.
I love you Mam.

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by.. If you smile
Through your fears and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
If you light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just…Smile.
Chuck says

There will never be another loving, more beautiful, kind, giving, funny and caring neighbor and friend to both myself and to my parents before me. I can’t even put into words how much she will be missed by everyone. What a blessing God allowed us to have in our lives. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Mr. Schmidt and to the entire family. May God comfort you during this difficult time.
