To the family of Jason Smith, Ms. Julia, Rachel, Lacy, Charles, Travis, Alex, Brielle, Brandon, Donovan, Preston, and to the host of Aunt's, Uncle's, cousins, his extended family, and anyone who has had the pleasure of just being in his presence, I want to extend my deepest most sincere condolences. My thoughts and prayers are still with each and every one of y'all. We lost such a sweet soul. I am one of the many members of what we named "The 952 West Main Gang", working with Jason and his brother, Travis, as well as helping Ms. Julia whenever she needed it, working with them off and on (but more ON than off☺️) for almost 13 years. And what an amazing experience it was. We all have soooo many memories that have been made on 952 West Main. So many trips we went on with the Jason and Travis, both scenic and, of course, necessary as well, whether it was check ups, follow ups, or more serious medical trips. As it was stated at the funeral, Jason never met a stranger. He loved goin out in the public, getting his drink at Sonic, scenic riding, but when it was all over with, he also was ready to get back to his room, clapping the whole way up the ramp. To his bedroom, to his bed. To his TV, or more specifically, Disney Jr, so he could enjoy Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. "Hot Dog Hot Dog Hot Diggity Dog". And yes, he did love his music as well. And different genres of music. But his choice of music was Ol School R&B. I could go on and on but I just wanted to tell his immediate family, I want y'all to know how much I love y'all, how much I appreciate y'all for allowing me into your home, for allowing me the honor, the true privilege, to be able to work with Jason, with Travis, helping Ms. Julia when she needed me, and even helping y'all whenever I was able to. All of the hours I spent on 952 West Main, doing my job making countless, priceless memories at the same time, no one can ever take that away from me, my mind or most definitely from my heart. Honestly, it wasn't a job. It was my home away from home. Y'all will always be family to me and will forever hold a piece of my heart. Especially Jason & Travis. And I am 100% sure my former coworkers/besties/"sisters"/members of the 952 West Main Gang feel the same sentiments I have just spoken about. With Sincere Love Always and Forever, Jenny Jowers Arnold
