Smitty and Leona lived in brightness for many years at 1273 Reaume Road. You would know the house on Reaume ~ In winter , that huge evergreen would be decorated for Christmas the lights would be turned on at dusk and throw brightness everywhere. This is where I remember, or so it seemed, a tree being even bigger than the house . You would know the house on Reaume ~. In the other seasons there were plants and shrubs , blossoms and blooms and a welcome mat at the front door , the colors of Leona . Leona was good with color and with keeping living things bright in this world .. When I met her at the Sears Store , she was caring for the plants and the fish , nurturing them all with foods and love within her store division job and loving to do so much for them there .. ... When I got to know Smitty , he did the same : he made things bright in this world . He had the know- how with his family of birds . He was like Mr. Miracle GROW , making plants in the yard thrive there ... I gave him little plants and next thing I knew , they were huge along the wall of his shed ... I said ". How did you do that , Smitty ? ". and he would just grin at me ... ~ The pigeon coops : You would know the coop toward the back field , long and low white buildings - the happiest place for Smitty's birds ~. their haven and Smittys second home .. As a friend of Smitty and Leona , both of them always made me feel welcome there ..... I am thankful for those times we had. It was so good to know them . Others remember Smitty and Leona . I always will , too .. We were blessed ... This is only a remembrance from a friend . I think of the tremendous loss that all the family is feeling and I can only say that I am deeply sorry for your loss Love , Cathy K. ...To The Family ~ Sincere sympathy from Catherine Kemler

Dear Mario, Lisa, Mike and family, I read Smitty's obituary this morning with sadness and a smile. I knew Smitty and your Mom later in their lives and thought the world of them both. A few years ago, when Smitty went for his walks, he would stop to chat when I was gardening in the front of my house on Bouffard. A casual "good morning" gradually turned into a longer chat that I looked forward to and I learned he was Leona's husband. What a treat! Two beautiful souls have been reunited and I feel blessed to have "crossed paths" with them both! You are all in my thoughts at this time! With deepest caring and prayers, Beth Piet
