An Open Letter From the Late Sweet Inspiration Myrna Smith's Son

This was written by Martin Smith, son of Myrna Smith of the Sweet Inspirations. She passed away on December 24, 2010:

To all the fans of my mother Myrna Smith,

I wanted to give you all a great big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all that you did for my mother. Not only when she was ill, but all the support you gave her during the years of touring, as well as, listening and purchasing her music. Many of you followed her closely and she loved you for that.

My mother was a wonderful lady. My life with her will never be forgotten. I have watched my mom from day one of her time with Elvis and the people from Graceland, showing many people what a great entertainer should project. My mom, although had friends by her side all the way to the end, always understood our special relationship. I will always love and respect my mother for who she is and what she became. Her grandson had the opportunity to sit with his Grandmother long before she became too ill and shared with her his aspirations to follow her entertainment footsteps.

Thank you all for the respect while the family was grieving and we appreciate your well wishes and condolences. I have included the memorial information below and would love to hear from you or see you there.

For people who cannot make it to the memorial, we will be taking all emails and posting them at the memorial for people to read. We may even read a few there.

Sincerely,

Martin Smith
