Venelean Simpkins wrote a sympathy message

“Caretta, Kathy and Family, there’s nothing we can say to ease the loss of a mother. But we can say, Mothers never truly leave us. You need only look in your heart and she’ll be there. And because your Mother shined so bright, the memory of her light will never dim. We are sending hugs from us to you to let you know that today and every day, you are in my heart and thoughts. We love you, John and Venelean Simpkins”
