Message from Dan Traylor

Betty Jo, Craig, and Brad - Was so sorry to hear about Ronnie. In my days in Lewisville, I always enjoyed my visits to the store because I knew Ronnie would see to it that I would get his personal best service. When I moved from Lewisville back to Winston, I often thought about driving all the way back out to Lewisville just because of your wonderful family. Brad and Craig learned much from their father about how to treat people and show concern for their lives.I considered Ronnie and all of y'all my friends.
Betty Jo, you know I lost my beloved Patsy a year and a half ago. I am trying to make a life for myself without her but it is extremely hard. I wish you the best as you transition from wife and caretaker to being on your own. It's very hard, and my prayers will be with you, but you will acquire your strength through our loving God. God Bless you all.
Dan Traylor (the tallest customer you ever had)

I am so very saddened to learn of Ronnie's death. He was such a big part of my childhood church memories. He was a dear, sweet man. It seems that the Smitherman and Wood families go back a very long way. I have beautiful memories of Ronnie, Mike, Ruth, and Wayne and of course Mrs. Smitherman. A beautiful lady with a knock-out coconut cake. Our love and prayers to Jo and their family.
