I am writing on behalf of the Marvin Simmons' family. I know mom and dad are very sorry for your loss and hope that you understand that their health will not allow them to attend in person but will be with all of you in their hearts. I remember mom and dad coming from U.Mac and A.Ivy's and telling the stories. They always had such a great time with all of you. Our love and prayers go with each and every one of you/Love,Marvin Simmons'family
I knew Sandy for many years from working with her. She was a nice lady. I enjoyed talking with her and hearing her stories. She made me smile. She will be remembered.
I will remember Aunt Sandy as a Christian woman. She often took a carload of cousins to amusement parks and movies. She had a nice smile and gentle laugh. Her birthday is on St.Patrick's Day and I will think of her each year.
My mother (Hope) is a resident at the same nursing home where Sandy was (Parkview). She liked Sandy very much and is going to miss her alot. She was very sad when she heard the news. They both were roommates at one time. Our thoughts prayers are with you all. Sincerely, Hope Family.
My prayer and thoughts are with you all at this time. May all be blessed with wonderful memories. Just a short note from a distant cousin. daughter of Lenioux and LaVerne Lanier. Granddaughter of Hill and Cora Lanier.
Remembering your family in your time of loss.God Bless You!Charles Avaughn (Farquhar) Frye
