A Homecoming.
Our family reunion is a joyful gathering focused on reconnecting, celebrating our shared history, and creating new memories together.
The event will include time for mingling and catching up, organized group activities, shared meals, and moments to honor our family's legacy — the bonds forged through generations that no distance can break.

The Smith Family

The Greene Family
Beginning with Hattie Smith Green and tracing her lineage through children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren — preserving names, connections, and legacy for generations to come.
