Who can find a virtuous woman? She's worth more than gems of great price. Trust is hers from the heart of her husband; she does him well each day of her life. Favor's deceitful; beauty is vain, but she shall be praised who fears the Lord. Give her the fruits of her own labor; Yes, let her works give her praise in the gates. Prov. 31. Rev. Smith, thank you for teaching us how to live and love as a family. May God continue to bless you, Sis. Linda Splatt and Family

Mrs. Smith was near and dear to me as I grew up in Golden Gate. I can remember her teaching me my first solo song. Is your all on the alter. It was an honor to have her as one of my mentors. One thing she always said to me was You Never Get A Second Chance To Make A Frist Impression. God bless you Rev.Smith and keep you healthy strong wealthy and wise. Gladys and family

'They are not apart from us, but part of us. For love is eternal, and those we love shall be with us throughout all eternity.' Rev. Smith, may God grant you unspeakable joy and peace as we celebrate Sis. Smith's life.

Joseph & Kathy Henderson (04.17.2008 @ 10:49:05)
Rev.Smith, We can't imagine the sorrow you must feel. We know that Sis. Smith wasn't only your wife; she was your best friend and soulmate. Both of you were our best example of two people in perfect harmony. So hold her close to your heart and may the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead. We love you. The Henderson Family

What a legacy to have been born and raised at Golden Gate Baptist Church under the pastorage of Rev. C.B.T Smith and his gracious wife "Rosie Lee". It was an honor for me to know Sis. Smith and to see a model of how a Christian woman should carry herself. She would talk softly, but her words carried so much weight in the lives of women. It is because of this leadership many of us have followed Matthew 28:19-20 "Go into all the world... As you and Sister Smith did I thank you for encouraging me to go and "live out my own soul salvation in fear and trembling".... I encourage you Pastor Smith with the words of one of her favorite songs " Ask the Saviour to help you, comfort, strengthen and keep you. He is willing to aid you. He will carry you through". Even through this.

Debra Anderson (04.17.2008 @ 10:33:14)
Our Dear Rev. Smith: May you be comforted in knowing that your beloved "Sporty" is rejoicing in glory. She is remembered greatly for her service as first lady; her humility in life; and a sense of class and sophistication that is reknown among those of us who were privy to have known her. Please find comfort in knowing that she was GOD's most highest gift to you. As a result of that marital anointing and the love you so obviously had for each other .... we the members of your church were the beneficiaries of the model example of adoration and the commitment the two of you had for each other. Be also comforted in knowing that those who you have served and prayed for these many years stand moreso ready to help pray you and your family through this period of bereavement. With our deepest condolences .... Debra Anderson and Children

Sis Smith, will always be remember. She walked with grace and love. I saw it in her smile. Rev. Smith , look to the hills with come your strength

Jackie Burns Torrance (04.17.2008 @ 09:23:21)
Romans 8:28 says, "All things work together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose." She was called to be our supreme example of a respected lady; our mother, our confidante, our friend. She will never be forgotten and she now rests peacefully in the cradle of Jesus' arms. May I reflect in me, the Christ she reflected to me. Your daughter and name sake, Jackie Burns and Christopher Burns-Thomas Torrance

Carolyn Washington & Family (04.17.2008 @ 08:38:29)

Linda Garrett (04.16.2008 @ 23:02:19)
Rev. C. B. T. Smith, I am praying for your strengh right now and the coming days, weeks, months, and years and that you will continue to lean on the Lord for all your help. I shall never forget the sermon you preached at my mother's service title "Praise Her at the Gates" from Proverbs 31. Now it is time to "Praise Sis. Smith at the Gates" and know that who can find a virtuous woman for her price is far above rubies. Her memory will live on.

Rev. Clarence & Mabel Robertson (04.16.2008 @ 22:53:09)
To Rev. Smith , our Pastor, we feel blessed to have had you and Sis. Smith in our lives, including our marriage ceremony and being Godparents of our son Clarence II. We know Sis. Smith will be missed by all, but her loving and caring and beautiful Christian character will live on. Please know you have our prayers and sympathy during this time. Lots of love from the Robertsons.

Prudence Harlan Harvey (04.16.2008 @ 22:10:55)
My heart was sad to hear the news of Sis. Smith's home going. However we know that she is at peace with the Lord. I was one of her sister member of the Metro Baptist Ministers Wives & Ministers Widows. I am the former Widow of Rev. W. H. Harlan of Ervay Cedar B. C. now living in Philadelphia. May God's Blessings comfort and keep you always. With sympathy. Prudence Harlan Harvey of Philadelphia.

Words alone can't express the sadness that those close to you are feeling for the passing of your loved one. May you find comfort in knowing that you have friends to support you at this time of sadness. With Sympathy.

carolyn shead (04.16.2008 @ 19:49:49)
I know the Lord is there with you consoling you. No matter how you try to prepare yourself for this sad time it still hurts to lose your love one, the one person that is always on your side, the one that can slways give you that special look and you understand without speaking a word to one another. But you know Sister Smith is in the Lords arms right now. May your memories comfort you and may the Lord strenghten you. The Shead Family
