Texarkana, TX Wednesday, June 19, 2024 KC was in my new Financial Advisor group. He welcomed me with kindness and truly open arms. He LOVED Elyse and always talked to me about her achievements—gave me tips for my first trip to Hawaii coming soon. She and the boys became endeared to me. I wish I had held them more, spent more time, called more and just taken more advantage of the short time we had. Prayers continue for the family. KC was a WONDERFUL person. Thank God that he knew the Lord. We’ll pray for and support Elyse through this time. See you there, KC.Mimi and Iesha Smith

There is a time to be born and a time to die. Just hold on to hope that he is with the Lord.God is close to the brokenhearted, call out to him.
