To Larry and Family, I am deeply saddened by Paul's death and I grieve with you. I worked with Carlene as a Telephone Operator and became a close friend of hers. Paul was a member of the Grantham 4-H Club of which I was the 4-H Leader. He was my first and only Statewide Winner for his poster during National Dairy month. You guys were both a joy to be around. I know you'll miss him deeply and so many others will miss his presence here on earth, too! I will keep you and your family in my prayers. With our love and sincere sympathy, Vanester Smith White and my children, Tamara Smith Slade, Cedric Dwayne Smith, and Lindale Smith, Jr

To Larry and family, I'm a friend of Carlene from the old telephone days. I was so sad to hear of Paul's passing. I saw you guys at your mother memorial. I pray that the God of tender mercy (Psalms 83:18) grant the family peace and comfort during this time of sadness (2Cor. 1: 2-3).
