Dear Vicki,
Thanks so much for your call and contacting me. You'll never know how much it meant to me, especially being from my own surname line. I was overwhelmed with delight to get the photo of G.W. Smith and Flora! I never dreamed I'd see a photo of him. I wish my dad could have lived to see it. I am still sorting through the info you sent. I will send mine on to you shortly, as soon as I can get it all together. I am sending you payment for the photo. I can't thank you enough. I am sending the copy from the Bible page on to you. Thanks again so much and I be back in touch shortly if the Lord's will.
Your friend,
