My sincere condolences for your loss to the entire Smith family. I read about Mr. Smith's death in our local paper. I live in a nearby town, Hemet. I was a friend of Candy and Linda's in Upland High School. I also remember him at Cal Poly. One of my mothers friends worked for him. Her name was Betty Root. I was always happy he was at Cal Poly when I attended there. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Susan Gorman

Aunt Bernadine and family. I have such heart felt feelings and emotions for ya'll at this time. I am so thankful that we have the Gospel of Jesus Christ with us upon the earth today and we understand that this separation that we now experience from our loved ones is all apart of our Heavenly Fathers plan and this is but a new beginning for Uncle Pete. I have many fond memories of our family times together and reflect upon them often. Much love to you and your families. Love and prayers, Cheryl

Although it is sad for us to have lost such a wonderful man, I am so happy Uncle Pete has finished his earthly journey and struggles no more to fight the pains of his earthly state. I am so happy to have seen him at the family reunion and to have talked with him and felt of his sweet spirit. This memory and others he left with me when my sister and I visited with his family in the mountains as young girls will forever be carried in my heart. It is my hope that anyone reading this message will have joy in their heart as they remember the wonderful contributions Uncle Pete made to the Smith family and to the community he served.
