2.renee abbott Says: February 16th, 2011 at 5:52 pm Two smiling eyes are sleeping. Two busy hands are still. The one we loved so deeply , is resting in God’s will. May she always walk in sunshine; God’s love around her glow, For all the happiness she gave us, only a few will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose her, but she did not go alone, for part of us went with her when Jesus called her finally home.

8.DANNY T. OMURA Says: February 17th, 2011 at 1:17 pm I send my sincere condolences to the Smith and Fish families at this time of loss.I remember back when “Fairy & Bruce” lived in Seabrook village.I often wondered what happened to people who were part of my life when I was growing up.The memory of those times will always remind me of the friends I had then.We have all gone on to separate lives, but the memories remain.I hope that these few words of “Fairy” will remind us that although she is gone her memory will always be a part of us.
RESPECTFULLY, DANNY T. OMURA

11.Kathy Fowler Says: February 17th, 2011 at 11:34 pm Mommom,
I miss you so much sometimes it hurts to breathe. Poppie misses you so much. I set things out the way you like them. Hope I did you proud. I wish I could just wake up and none of this happened. But it did and like you always said and new day will dawn. Mommom I promise I will live my life to the fullest, and I will start to wear gardening gloves to be more ladylike. I am giving you my rose bush we planted together. It will be up there I promise. Please always watch over and guide me. I still have so much to learn from you. I love you. Kathy
