Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.

Jeffery “Jeff” Lamar Smith, son of the late Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Clara Mae Smith, was born November 29, 1962. He grew up on Prattville Junction Rd in Millbrook, AL. On November 23, 2024, After a courageous battle with cancer, God declared victory. Surrounded by loved ones, God allowed Jeffery to peacefully transition into eternal glory. He was 61. Jeffery is preceded in death by his parents: John Smith and Clara Mae Smith; a brother: John Lee Smith; and four sisters: Julia Mae Jackson, Johnnie Mae Williams, Helen James and Linda Moore.
