      To the Smith Family: I am so sad to see that your Loved One Kelley has passed away. I know that all of you will miss him dearly but remember all the good times that you had with him over the years as the memories are so precious. May God bless each one of you at this time and always. We know that he has been called home to be with his Heavenly Father and other that have gone on before him what a reunion that must have been. I must tell you that I am Marilyn (Shehorn) Tarbutton daughter of Lawrence Shehorn I lived back in Illinois until June, 1959 and then moved to Nevada. I lived not too far from the Smith Family. Some of Earl siblings would walk by our house every day to catch the school bus and I knew them pretty well. Take good care of each other. I am sending this with my deepest sympathy and lots of love. Prayers for all of the family. Love and blessings Marilyn
