William F. Smith, Jr.

On September 30, my great uncle Bill passed away in Florida. He was buried on Saturday, the 4th in Bowling Green, KY, where he was born and raised. He was one of 5 siblings, my grandma Hardison, being one too. All five lived to be in there 80s and my uncle Bill was 84 when he passed. I was able to go to funeral with my parents and brother on Saturday. It's always sad to attend a funeral but it was also nice to see so many of my family that I had not seen in so long. The 4 other siblings were all in attendance as well as cousins, my uncles, etc. It was a beautiful day and the ceremony was done very beautifully too.

After the funeral, my great aunt and uncle, Georgianna and Harold, had us over to their house to eat and visit. I took a few pictures over there but didn't get everyone.
