HOPE OVER
Circumstances
Facilitated and edited by Anne Granado
In March of 2020, Corporal William (Billy) Smith lost his beloved wife and Texarkana, Arkansas Police Department colleague after a fierce battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive cancer of the brain or spinal cord. The following is a letter to Holly about their relationship and their final months together before she passed. Though this was a difficult process, Billy wanted to talk about Holly. He wanted to share her testimony. For them, this was so much more than a battle against cancer. Holly’s story is one of hope-hope in God, hope in family, hope in love.
