The extra blessings were her 19 Great Grandchildren that made her heart smile!

The love that this family has for each other is immeasurable. She was preceded in death by her husband Ronald Smiley, and grandson Andrew Smiley.
Most of all she was the “BEST” Mom of 5 children and she called each one her Favorite! During all her trials and tribulations that life brought her, she always kept things positive and marched forward. She had a love for all flowers and showed that by being a wonderful floral designer. She loved being a “Smiley” and lived up to her last name each and every day. Now after several battles of cancer she is dancing in Gods beautiful garden of love with her Beloved Husband Ronald Lee Smiley.

This is outstanding news for the Saline Community!
Best burger goes to Droptop pizza. No doubt about it . Dan’s is not what it used to be and the food is not award worthy. Need some new judges.
It's a voting thing, not a judging thing.
Dan's burger has never treated me wrong. And I like the DropTop burger too.I would never put down someone else's burger, though. I might say someone else has a better one.
Like, I like the Jet's Pizza. But to me, that's a DropTop prize.
These awards are voted by the PEOPLE...not a committee of judges. The people of Saline and Saline area voted for these businesses. I have never had a bad meal at Dan's Downtown Tavern and if something wasn't right I know that it would be corrected. Plus I have had Drop Tops pizza and I found it to be quite good.

While I have some empathy for the family I would bet the proverbial farm that their ancestors would not like it to be rezoned. Disappearing farm land is a national problem not just local.
Agreed. It’s their land and can do as they wish but it’s just a bummer
