To all of Mr Smith’s family branches, we are sincerely sorry for your loss. While we did not personally know Mr Jim, we have the honor of knowing and working with his grandson Stephen Yeager here in Clovis/Portales NM, and we are grateful for this connection. We pray that God’s peace will surround your families during this difficult time. Charles and Brenda Reader
