From Smith’s GoFundMe:

“Leila Smith was a young, vibrant and caring single mother of 2 young children (9 and 1 year old). Her life was taken unexpectedly on Saturday March 3, 2018. Her 2 young children will now grow up without their mother. Due to a lack of life insurance and savings there are no funds set aside to cover her funeral arrangements. Her family is taking donations to help with the costs of her funeral and burial. Any additional funds donated over the targeted amount will go towards the care of her 2 children.”

Our thoughts are with the family and friends at this difficult time.
