When Candi called me and told me about Smokey passing away I couldn't believe it. He has been in my life since I was born. I remember when Ruby, Smokey and Kenny used to spoil me and my two sisters, they thought we could do no wrong, so they were always on my parents for getting on to us. They all made me feel like part of the family even tho i really was not. Every time that I would go into Wal-Mart he would tell me how much I have grown up and how beautiful I was. I am sorry that I won't be able to come to the services because i now am staying in Watertown, New York. I want you guys to know that I wish I could be there. Things just will not be the same since smokey is gone, especially when i walk into Wal-Mart. It just seemed natural every time i went to Wal-Mart to see Smokey standing there smileing. He would always give me a big hug. He always tried to keep track of my dad's hunting and fishing trips which no one can!. I remember the day beore i left to go to New York he told me to be safe and to stay out of trouble. I just want you all to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you when you go through this hard time. I Love Yall,Misty Espy Watertown, NY US
