God looked around His garden and found an empty space. Then He looked upon the earth and saw your tired face. He held His arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful for He only takes the best.

Giving birth is always a time of rejoicing in the lives of parents: June 9th 1929 was no exception as James Smith Sr. and Laurana Smith welcomed their ninth child and third son into the world. This bouncing baby boy was given the name James Andrew.

His early education began at the feet of his Mother and older siblings and continued at the Long Bay Cays All age school. Upon completion he gained employment on the contract in the United States of America. After many years he returned home and gained employment in the construction field.

Good Season as he was affectionately called by his peers was a no nonsense man and had patience the length of a pen tip. Even though he was stern he was very friendly and loved him some FNM. Oh yes he was a staunch Free National Movement Supporter and didn't waiver not even for a second.

In 2013 His legs began to fail, still daddy persevered on. His niece Mrs. Victoria Smith would count his steps each evening when he walked by her house during one of his daily walks, and noticed that her Uncle's steps were getting slower. And just like that his legs grew weaker and weaker and soon he was confined to the wheelchair.

In October 2014 he was taken to the clinic by his granddaughter Sophia. He had suffered a stroke which resulted in his left hand being paralyzed. Even though he was unable to walk he kept in high spirits. On Tuesday the 28th day of April, his granddaughter received a call that he was feeling ill. She took him to the Miriam Green Clinic where he received medical care. After treatment his granddaughter was advised to bring him back to the clinic the following morning for further treatments.

Around 1:00am his granddaughter Sophia went into his room to check on him. After giving him some water and ensure he began to pray thanking God for allowing him into his sunshine and giving him thanks for saving a sinner like him. It was at that point that Sophia contacted his other granddaughter Monique who came immediately with her son Scott. Scott lifted him in his arms while daddy continue to praise God and just like that in the comfort of Scott's embrace daddy peacefully slipped away from time into eternity.
