I know it has been a while since Mrs. Smith's passing to glory, and I've spoken with you, Mr. Smith, in recent weeks, but I just wanted to jot a note and let you know how much delight you both have brought to our lives. My years in Calvinettes at SLCRC are full of fond memories as Mrs. Smith joyfully taught each of us clumsy little girls. For me, she was a glowing example of Jesus' love for children. Later, after getting married, I remember camping in Pentwater and one weekend finding you and Mrs. Smith there, too. We had a great weekend, sharing stories together. May God continue to give you peace. Love, Judy (Vaandering) Burnside.##imported-begin##Judy Burnside (Vaandering)##imported-end##

To George and the Smith Family. You have my deepest sypathy for your loss.
Mrs. Smith was a great person and roll model. She made a big impact on my life in my teen years. She showed me how to do many crafts in Calvinettes which I still carry that love today.
Also Mr. Smith was our mail man for years. She will be missed as I still think of her and always will.##imported-begin##Nancy Rouwhorst Peck##imported-end##

A good friend of my mother Lois and father Bill. Will always remember the memories we spent together enjoying the summer days swimming at Lake Michigan with sons Stan and Rich. Those days my mother and Elsie shared there sewing talents together.

God Bless.

I remember Aunt Elsie and Uncle George coming over to play cards with mom and dad. The four of them would usually have coffee and dessert so us kids got to have dessert with them. I also remember the player piano in the basement and the big family get togethers at their house. She was more than just an aunt to our family.##imported-begin##Danny Busman##imported-end##

Elsie was my aunt and I have fond memories of spending time at her house as a child, playing the player piano in the basement and watching her cut hair, a talent I wanted to acquire. I often cut hair as an adult and when people would ask where I learned, I'd tell them "from watching Aunt Elsie." Love to all the family.##imported-begin##Pam (DeMeester) Artman##imported-end##
