‘SHE HAD A GOOD HEART’

“She was so down to earth,” said one of Smith’s friends, Dominique Painter. “You could call her, she would be there for you. She had a good heart.”

Painter said she was friends with Smith for more than five years.

“At first I was in shock. I felt numb.” Painter said. “I felt like I lost a part of me. ... I’ll miss almost everything. I’ll just miss being able to pick up the phone and call her.”

Another friend, Katie Underwood, said she grew close to Smith after she tried out for the cheerleading team her freshman year. Underwood was already a cheerleader.

“I was speechless,” Underwood said about reading on Facebook that Smith had died. “I was kind of hoping it was just a dream.”

Underwood’s mom, Beth Underwood, agreed.

“You know, whatever, people are just messing around. Cortney can’t be gone,” Beth Underwood said of her initial thoughts upon hearing the news.
