Heavenly Father, we thank You for the beautiful life of Dr. Carmen Maria Smith. Thank You for the love she gave, the wisdom she shared, the faith she lived, and the countless lives she touched. We are grateful for her laughter, her strength, her kindness, her service, and the way she reflected Your love to her family, friends, students, and community.
Lord, comfort every heart that grieves her passing. Surround her children, grandchildren, siblings, extended family, friends, and all who loved her with Your peace. Let them feel Your presence in the days ahead and be strengthened by the precious memories Carmen leaves behind.
We thank You that Carmen trusted You, loved You, and walked in faith. May her legacy continue to inspire us to love deeply, serve faithfully, speak wisely, and live with purpose. As we remember her life, help us carry forward the love she so beautifully showed.
May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard our hearts and minds. And may Carmen’s life forever remind us that love is patient, love is kind, and love never fails. In Jesus’ name, Amen.🙏🏾✝️😭
