My thoughts and prayers are with all the families who loved and were so loved by Mr. and Mrs. Simpson. I am lucky to have known both of them. They always made me feel so welcome in their home of which I have so many fond memories.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
