Joseph "Joe" Smith, Jr.

"ALL night, ALL day, ANGELS are watching over the Smith Family"

"Joe shall wear a crown,
When it's all over ,
Joe shall see His face,
When it's all over ,
Joe's going to put on his robe, tell the story how he made it over..." 

During the midnight hour, on Wednesday, May fifteenth , two thousand nineteen Mr. Joseph "Joe" Smith, Jr., slipped peacefully into his final rest, in the comfort of his home and earned his crown and slipped on his robe and made it over to be with Lord. Mr. Smith was surrounded by his loving and devoted family during the time of his transitioning.
