IN MEMORY OF JAMES DAVID SMYTH

                                                                      October 2, 1932 - February 3, 2005

I lost my father to LYMPHOMIA CANCER on February 3rd, 2005.  For EIGHT years (off and on) he battled this HORRIBLE disease.  I must tell you how VERY  HEARTBREAKING  is was for me to sit and listen to his doctor tell him, a few days before he passed away that there was "NOTHING ELSE" they could do.  I felt so HELPLESS.  I wanted to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING to NOT lose my father.  Every time I think of it, my HEART BREAKS ALL OVER AGAIN and my eyes IMMEDIATELY fill with tears at the thought of what my father must have been feeling at that VERY moment.  I know he must have felt so HELPLESS and HOPELESS knowing he was going to die and leave his family behind.  If only there had been a cure for this HORRIBLE DEADLY DISEASE he would still be with us today.  For him, it is TOO LATE for a CURE for Cancer.  He was such a loving, God-fearing Christian man who brought his family up the right way and always went out of his way to help others. 

He has left a wonderful LEGACY behind that I am so VERY  PROUD to be a part of.  THIS is the way I can do MY  part to HELP someone else and CONTRIBUTE to help finding a cure and be able to do it IN HIS MEMORY.

                                                                                       I LOVE YOU, DAD!
