Following more than fifty-two years of service as a General Authority of the Church, seventeen of which he was the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator, President Joseph F. Smith finally joined his father, mother, and loved ones in what must have been a very blessed and joyful occasion.
My Great Grandpapa Smith
"Faith laughs at so called impossibilities and says it shall be done"
Joseph F. Smith 11/13/1838 to 11/18/1918
I know you all know him as the 6th. Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, but to me he is so much more. My Great Grandpapa Smith (my Fathers Grandpa.) Yesterday was the birthday of my Great Grandpapa Smith he was born 171 years ago. What a great man he was I am so grateful for his life.
I love this picture of him, what a sweet smile. When I think of him this is what is see..
My Great Great Grandpa Hyrum Smith and My Great Grandpa Joseph F. Smith.
Golden Wedding Anniversary of My Grandpapa Joseph and Grandmama Julina Smith--May 5, 1916. My Grandpa and Grandma are on the back row. My Grandpa is holding my aunt Lillian. Who remembers aunt Lillian? I think she became sweeter as she got older. She would always tell me That I looked just like her. Aunt Edith and Joseph Fielding Smith are also in this picture, They are siblings of my Grandpa.

So neat. I want to copy this post and put it on my blog. It just shows how close we really are related.
Now I have the Latter-day Prophets song in my head. ("Joseph F. Smith, remember the F!") I just taught it to my primary kids, and now those two prophets have a more special meaning to me.
Great post! It is fun to see all of the pictures again.
