Mr. Simms, Harry, Valerie, Franklin,

At a time like this, there is really nothing anyone can say that will ease the pain of losing someone so precious. Mrs. Simms truly was a gift to so many. When we were younger and hanging around at your place, I thought of her as my second mom. We all did. I will never forget her kind and gentle spirit and that smile of hers. She was an angel on Earth. Take comfort in knowing that her light will always shine brightly in our hearts and our memories.

So sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. She was such a lovely person. Thinking of you from Paul and Phyllis Walsh.

Franklin and family, I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Franklin always told his friends how “Gert” stayed up late and waited for him to come home or simply sat nearby while he studied into the wee hours. I’m sure she was also a loving grandmother who will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with you all, Lori xo
