Vintage family photograph of children and adults gathered together by a lit fireplace — The whole family gathered by the fire, back when we were all still together.

Rip cuz Jerome Smith! I hate that you had to leave so soon but you'll never be forgotten! Love ya!

Jerome Robert Smith's black granite headstone, engraved with his portrait, a cross and a dove — SMITH · Jerome · Sunrise June 18, 1983, Sunset April 21, 2021. Ecclesiastes 1:9 · “It is, what it is”

I went to visit my brother's grave tonight after they finally installed his headstone after 6 months. Reality hit me as soon as I saw it. He's really gone.

Words can't explain how I feel right now. I miss him so much and I want him here. NGL, I beat myself up sometimes because I feel like I should have been there for him more than I have. I love you, Jerome Smith.

Life is so short and we can lose a loved one in a blink of an eye. Cherish the moments you have with your family and friends, because we don't know when our time will come. We make plans for the future not knowing if we will be here to see it. Live in the present as if it were your last.

Laid my big brother to rest yesterday. Even though it was hard, I have no doubt in my mind that he is in God's arms in heaven.

I'll miss you so so much and I wish I didn't have to see you go so soon, but God's timing isn't our own. I love my family and I miss you dearly, Jerome Smith. I'll never forget you. Until we meet again.

Words can't express how much I miss you.

I wish I had more time with you. Every moment I spent with you was precious and I'll never forget it. I love you big bro, and heaven is lucky to have gained someone like you. I miss you Jerome Smith.

Vintage photograph of Jerome seated with three family members standing behind him — So many memories. They all make me smile.

I just can't! I'm so hurt!!!!! Like nooooo so many memories. They all make me smile. But Jerome Smith, I JUST CAN'T.

Love you Romy Rome.

#RIP I'm praying for everyone…

I often wonder what it would be like if my brother was here. Miss you Jerome Smith.
