Annie Jackson Smith

There are alot of memories I have of my Granny. My first ones are when my Papaw was still alive. Papaw would try to give me, Deanna, and Teri whippings with a hickory and we would get between Granny and the sink and Granny wouldn’t let Papaw get us. I remember playing Jack in the Bush with pennies at the table with Granny and some game where she would throw a wet washrag in our face and she would just laugh. I remember Granny singing a lot when she was out working in her flower garden. I have a lot of fond memories of my Granny but the thing I’ll remember most about her is her close relationship with the Lord. When I was young and I would slip and say something that I knew I wasn’t supposed to, Granny would say, ‘Honey, the Lord don’t like you talking and acting like that.’ Granny always talked about Jesus and sang and said Bible verses. Even when she was in the hospital, she would quote, This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.- I am comforted by the fact that my Granny is in Heaven with Jesus and one day we will all be able to see her again.–I love you Granny!!

we are sorry about the passing of your Mom. She is a very special person and will be sadly missed. We are thinking of you in your time of sorrow. Mom is in heaven with a smile on her face. Your friends and co-workers and Advantage Home Care.

Bob and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family during this time. Our prayers are with you asking that He will comfort and encourage you. I only meet Mrs. Smith one time, but I enjoyed so much talking about the Lord with her, and about her granddaughter Angela (who is our daughter-in-law.)

We pray that God will wrap His arms around you and comfort you until you meet your loved one again.

Granny, I’m so glad we were able to visit you one last time in October — so glad you were able to see two of your little great-grandchildren in person, Allie & Andrew. My Andrew is named after your Dad — Andrew Jacob Lundberg after Andrew Jacob Jackson. I loved you so much. I remember Easters and Christmases at your house – playing in the barn and climbing the pink dogwood and black cherry trees. We’d eat black cherries until we were sick! I remember: playing baby calves and licking up oatmeal out of saucers in the floor; your wishbooks and cutting up strings of paperdolls; you and Papaw singing ‘I’ll Fly Away’. I’m glad you’re at piece with the Lord.
Love, Sharon
