Lori’s dad, my father-in-law, Paul D. Smith of Rockford, Illinois, passed into the presence of God on Monday evening, March 8th, 2010. He leaves behind Shirley, his wife of 40 years, two daughters and one son, and nine grandchildren.
I never got to know him well. I can say that it is because of his patience with me that I married his daughter. And it is because of his love for his daughter and his wife’s love and patience that his daughter was even in a position to meet me and marry me. Most importantly, it is because of the testimonies and prayers of the two of them that my wife is now a born-again Christian.
Thank you, Paul. I know that soon I will have the opportunity to thank you personally in heaven.
Rest now in the presence of our God.
