To Russell Simerly's wife, Joyce and his entire family;
We are so very sorry to hear about Russell's passing. Our hearts go out to all of you, especially for his wife, Joyce.
One month ago, Russell spoke about his illness to my husband and said that he was at peace and was happy about how he led his life. To have acquired this peace is certainly a great achievement for anyone in life. Russell, a man whose fine character has been reflected on his sons, has left a legacy that will go on forever.
May God Bless Russell Simerly and his Family.

To Russell's Family;
I am so sorry to hear about Russell's passing. He was always a joy and I will miss seeing him. Russell transported my horses safely for year's, and always brought laughter and good stories with him. He also helped me transport safely when more than one load was taken to a show. He was very protective, honest and kind. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time. God bless you all.

Joyce,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May God bring you comfort during this time. Remember the faith that our grandmothers had and shared. They taught us to live and to die as Christians.

To the Whole Simerly Family,
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. Russell was a wonderful man and he took good care of me and my horses when Paul passed away. He was a true friend and always there for support through all of the years, through the good times and bad. I called him many times when I found out he was sick and asked him if he needed anything. He would always say he was fine and he would let me know. That was the kind of person he was, always thinking of others and not wanting anyone to worry about him. I know that he is in heaven now and he will be watching over all of you. He will never leave your hearts. God Bless all of you during the diffcult times and as time goes by always remember the good times, as they will get you through the hard times. He was a lucky man to have so many people love him and him love so many people. We will miss him.
