Gladys T. Smith was never happy or joyful about anything. Her life was full of drugs, needles, anger and hate. All three of her children wrote this obituary for the woman.

When we arrived in a new world after crossing the sea. We were all seeking independence and an opportunity. Families would find it challenging, making it rough.

In the land of the Igbo, where the sun dips into the west A young boy child wandered, with a heart that was unblessed His mother's passing, left him alone and blue A fate worse than death, for a child who once knew The warmth of a mother's love, the comfort of her gentle hand Were now but distant memories,...

Close your eyes, it's all about you The pain of losing a loved one is beyond words Many responsibilities upon your shoulders Hope and courage you'll have to share To those loved ones whose heart need consoling Need to have a heart of steel to outdone weakness Paint smile to others to show encouragement Whose cynosure eyes tend to show some mercy There's...
