My Mom was named after her Dad, William Wallace Smith and everyone called her "Ina". Mom was an only child and was from Dundee, Angus, Scotland. She met Dad in Sleford, England during World War II, where they fell in love, married and the rest is history. In 1958 she became a US citizen in Indianapolis, Indiana. She loved her Grandkids, two boys and three girls and now has the oldest Grandchild with her. She is missed every day. R.I.P. Mom, you are forever missed and forever loved.
