MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE - A woman who was charged in a scheme with five Middle Eastern men to sell fraudulent driver&#39;s licenses was remembered Saturday for her good deeds and Christian life. <br> <br> ``We&#39;re not here to remember how she died,&#39;&#39; Rev. L.F. Self told about 200 mourners gathered at Great Ebenezer Baptist Church. <br> <br> Katherine Smith, 49, was found burned to death in a 1992 Acura Legend after it ran off the road Feb. 10. She was scheduled to be arraigned the next day on federal charges of helping the five men from New York obtain the fake driver&#39;s licenses. <br> <br> ``While others are speculating or wondering about what&#39;s in the background ... I know how she lived,&#39;&#39; Self said. ``She was a child of God. <br> <br> ``There&#39;s so much speculation, so much mysticism and mystery surrounding the death of our sister, but there is no mystery of how she lived.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Smith&#39;s family declined to comment.
