We remember affectionately his spiritual leadership, his

For all these, we thank you, O Lord, and bless your
name.
We cherish the memory of his Bible teachings, the zeal
he had for the Lord, and his encouragement to always
trust God.
We thank you, Lord and praise your name.
Lord, we thank you for his Christian family who is a
great example to all who know them.
Lord, we thank you for the Smith family.
