Condolences Extended
Shaw-Nuf Talk extends condolences to Bishop John W. “Bobby” Smith and his wife, Myrtle Smith; Christopher Smith, Craig Smith, and Chuckie Smith, in the passing of their loved one, Cy Jon Smith. Cy passed away last month when he suffered a massive heart at- tack. He was 49. On Friday, December 23rd, a Memo- rial Service, attended by a gathering of friends and family, was held at Coney’s Funeral Home in Lakeland. Craig’s touching life re- flections of his brother, Cy brought forth both tears and laughter. The Old Tes- tament Scripture (Psalm 9:1-10) was read by Lake- land City Commissioner Phillip Walker (uncle of the deceased). Words of Comfort were rendered by Cy’s father, Bishop Smith.
Memories of Cy will live on in the hearts of his daughter, Tranesha Smith; step-siblings, and a host of other relatives and friends.
