Our beloved brother-in-law, Glenn Smith, died on Tuesday, Nov. 19. Our sister Nancy displayed remarkable courage, grace and compassion all week. She carried out all of his wishes and respected the requests of his poor father, brother and sister. Family and friends converged from all over the country to honor Glenn and comfort Nancy, who comforted them instead. Leaving her today was wrenching because now she will have to face an entirely changed life and all of her family is so far away.
So many questions, so many decisions, so much pain. But they are somewhat counterbalanced by the love of a devoted family and extraordinary friendships. Hundreds of people came to express their love for both of them and their church community embraced her and all of our family.
We are exhausted, sad and forever changed.
