  3. Aunt Pat, Joey Ray and Doot and my mama Joyce… my heart is with y’all. Uncle Glenn was my favorite uncle and my childhood wouldn’t have been the childhood that it was without him up on Smith Cove. You will always be remembered uncle Glenn and the memories will forever be in my heart and mind. Aunt Pat, Doot and Joey I love y’all. If I could be there with y’all… I would be there. He’s with Granny and papaw and raising hell with my daddy again. Lolz

  8. I hate to hear this news. I was behind Rat at the redlight on Patton a few months ago. There was a veteran man in a wheel chair sitting in the turning lane holdi a sign. Rat got out and helped move the man and then gave him some cash. This is how I will always remember Rat, he was always helping with a smile on his face. ♥️

  9. Mr Smith is the father of the man I love. I am sorry I never got to meet him. My husband is broken that he can not be there for his family. I am sorry for the loss that he and all of you are feeling.
