I am sure that Saint Peter has said to Richard welcome and job Well Done". Now you will know all of the answers to the questions you and I did not know. Enjoy your eternal vacation. Ron Ayres”

“Nancy and Family, My Condolences to you from our family. Dr. Simmers took care of our six kids and in a way I think he took care of my wife and I. He worked harder than anyone I know or have known to make so many kids feel better. Staying up until all hours of the night so that no kid was turned away because there were no slots open in the office. I see him now sitting in heaven looking over us (dont tell Nancy) with a good cigar. Rest In Peace Dr. Simmers. We will think of you always.”
