I’m writing on behalf of my sister, Bobbie Jo Smith, who lost her beloved husband Jeff today after a long and difficult battle with several serious illnesses. Jeff had been chronically ill for over 20 years, beginning with a stroke in 2006. Throughout all those years, Bobbie Joe devoted herself fully to caring for him, particularly in the last 5 years, which meant she was unable to work outside the home.

Jeff’s passing leaves Bobbie Jo facing funeral costs and other final expenses during an already heartbreaking time. Any donation, no matter the size, would mean so much and help ease this unexpected financial burden.

We also completely understand that not everyone is able to give. If you’re unable to donate, we ask just as sincerely for your prayers, kind thoughts, and for sharing this page. Your support in any form is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read, for your compassion, and for keeping Bobbie Jo and our family in your thoughts during this time of loss.

With gratitude,

Tracy Bratton on behalf of the Smith Family
