I am so sorry for everyone's loss. If I have calculated correctly, Bill Smartt would be a 3rd cousin. I remember a conversation that I enjoyed having with him at the post office one time. I will miss seeing him in the grocery stores and etc. Here are a few Bible verses to help comfort you: "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words." -- 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18 KJV
