This page is always going to be a work in progress, it will never end. A lot  of work and time have been devoted to making this page what it is. I hope you  enjoy looking at the photos and reading the stories I have on some of the  people inside the site. If you have any photos you'd like on here or stories  to share, I'd love to have them. Make sure you read and sign the guest book  while your here also. I'd appreciate the feedback on the site! This is your  page, too. I may be WebMaster, but I couldn't have done it without all of you.  Without you, there'd be no site here. Thanks to all that contributed to making  this site what it is! A million thanks to Jerry Nance for his hard work on his  website and allowing me to "take whatever I want!" A link to his site is  below. Many thanks to Polly Nance, as her website has a wealth of information  about our family on it. You'll find a link to her website below also. And, a huge thanks to Ann Smith and Cousin Cheryle for entrusting me with their treasured pictures, and to my sister, Debbie Trueblood, whose help in scanning pictures and slides has been a Godsend! And my sister Teresa, who has copied a  bazillion photos onto cd's and sent them to me, and to DeeRay and Angie Garcia... You've been unbelievably helpful in ways you'll probably never understand.

Just so everyone knows, this site is not a free site, it must be paid for. The cost rises each  year, 
 it seems, but to lose all the hard work that has gone into this site.... Well, it's just unimaginable. I worked on our family tree for 4 to 5 years before I found the internet back in  1998. 
 When I discovered TribalPages in 2001, I knew it was *the* place to save my work. 13 years of  searching, documenting, scanning pictures, and locating families from all parts of the country.  As I 
 stated before, this is a work in progress. Never ending. Hard for me to believe I've been  working on 
 this for 30 years, and still feel there is so much unknown about our tree!

 I know that the circle of life is ongoing. We welcome new births and are saddened when we have  to 
 say goodbye to others. I've had to say goodbye to my father, Bobby Lee Smith. I suppose I  thought he 
 was going to be with us forever. It hit me much harder than I had imagined. Days creep by, and  I 
 have just now been able to write about this without crying my eyes out. Daddy passed on November 5th in Magnolia, Texas. I'll post a picture of his obituary under his name. I really miss him.

12-15-2019 My husband, Steve, passed one year ago today. To say I miss him would be a complete understatement. Dealing with that loss has been lessened, if that is even possible, by the birth of my granddaughter, Elloria Rose Williams, born to Vic and Ell.

May those that have gone before us watch over us, and continue to remind us of where we have  been, 
 so that getting to where we are going will be all that much easier!
