2 Timothy 4:7-8I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

We would like to take this opportunity to first give thanks to Almighty God for providing us the strength and guidance during this time. A special heartfelt thanks is extended to our Ontario family, and the Community of North Preston. The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to those who have supported us during this time of our loss. Please continue to keep our family in your prayers.

Veronica “Susie” Smith, age 59 of Mississauga, passed away after a long fight on July 10, 2024, while in care in the City of Toronto. Veronica was born and raised in North Preston, Nova Scotia. She was the daughter of the late Bernard and Madeline Smith and maternal granddaughter of the late Oscar and Rachel Smith and paternal granddaughter of the late Alexander and Louella Smith. In her spare time, she loved playing music and binge-watching comedic movies and TV shows - she carried this sense of humor until the end. She was a hard worker and loved her job at the Holiday Inn, she spoke well of her superiors and co-workers and made sure she spread laughter throughout her workplace hallways and break rooms. She was an amazing mother to Shayla Smith and Jordell Smith and was a doting grandmother to their children. She made sure that everyone around her was in good spirits, she would crack a joke in the most serious of moments and expressed the importance of family.

John 14:1-4: Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.
