      To The family of Carroll Smith: I was so sorry to see that your Loved One has passed away. May God bless each one of you at this time.and always.. Remember all the good times you had with him over the years as the memories are so precious. I know that all of you will miss him but be there for each other. I must tell you who I am Marilyn (Shehorn) Tarbutton and my dad was Lawrence Shehorn. When I was young and lived south of the Smith family two of his family walked past our house to get on the bus so they could go to school and I enjoyed seeing them almost every day I believe it was Katherine and Glenda but I may be wrong as I have been away from Illinois since June, 1959. With my deepest sympathy and lots of love a friend always Marilyn
