I will always remember my uncle Rock, even though after years of not seeing or speaking to him since I was a small boy. He has always be in my thoughts...Rest in peace Uncle Rock Ken Shannon(nephew)3/2/2013

Thank you everyone for your prayers and stories, stories are what keep the memory of loved ones alive in our hearts. I will miss dad but know we will be reunited in heaven. I can see the whole Smith family rejoicing together before the Lord, reunited after such a long time apart. Soon the rest of us who remain and love Jesus will be there too.

Although I haven't been able to visit you these last few years, you have always been a PRESENCE in my life. I missed having a good discussion with you, and know that we will do that again, someday. Godspeed my friend, and enjoy health and happiness in your new life. You will live in my memory forever.

I will miss Grandpa dearly. I will never forget that he was the one who taught me how to play cribbage. He would also take me to Safeway in the morning so he could get coffee for him and hot coco for me, and there would also be the occasional breakfast cookie that i was given very strict direction not to tell mom about. I am very happy I was able to see him a couple of months ago.

rock grew up in a missionary family which went to the uttermost parts of the earth to preach the gospel. His family has excellent people - Rock jr, Rhena, Carol, Kristen. We are very thankful that they all have made special trips to visit us. during one visit Rock convinced me that if I was ever trapped on an ice flow with a polar bear the best thing that could happen would be to have him there with me. We pray especially for Rhena and Carol during this hard time. Henry, Judy, Mary, Joe

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Rock Smith. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
