Benefit Concert for Smith Family Moved

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Sharon Smith, Editor-in-Chief of SGN Scoops Magazine and wife of Allen Smith, passed away this morning, May 24, 2007.

Sharon had been diagnosed with inoperable uterine cancer earlier this year and had only been given a year to live. In addition, she also had kidney failure because of the cancer and was on dialysis three days a week.

Funeral arrangements will be announced as they become available.

Although Sharon had been covered by Medicaid, there are still many expenses that are not being covered. Judy Brannin of the Brannin Agency has scheduled a benefit concert for the Smith family.

The benefit concert is being held in order to cover additional costs and medical expenses that the Smiths are facing due to Sharon’s illness and death. The concert has been moved up since the last update was sent out last week.

The concert has been moved to Saturday, June 23, 2007. The concert will be held at the House of Praise Church of God in Desloge, Missouri. Artists currently scheduled to perform at the benefit include Sunday Edition, Masters of Grace, Bev McCann, the Cerces, Alabama Spirituals, Kathy Atkins, Loretta Withee, Dave Williford Band, Karen Carr, Wendell Johnson, Hearts of Faith, and Hearts N Harmony.

Artists are also being asked to donate some products to sell or auction off. If you would like to send a donation, please contact Judy as well. Donations have currently been made from Gaither Music, Agape Photography, Anthony Burger Productions, the Freemans, Emmaus Road Quartet, Kirk Talley, the MaHarreys, Tim & Mary Alice Lovelace, the Trav’lers Quartet, and Mark Lowry.

Send product and donations to:

Judy Brannin

All donations are tax free.

My thoughts & prayers are with her family at this difficult time. May God bring them comfort & strength.

God is good all the time & all the time God is good.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Allen. I called him earlier today to let him know we were praying for both he and Sharon - and it was then that he told me of her passing and I first learned of it.

Our prayers are that God will comfort Allen and their loved ones in the days ahead.

My prayers are with her family during this difficult time. May the Lord's sweet peace and comfort surround them as I know He will.

Amazed in His presence and humbled by His great love!
