I will always fondly remember Aunt Judy's infectious laugh and her kind disposition. Although we have indeed lost a loved one, heaven has gained a really great angel.
Love to all,
Ginger Simmons Garfield (Grace Mercer Simmons's elder daughter)

Dear Family of Julia;
She was my neighbor at Forrest Lake for a number of years and I enjoyed her quiet smile and easy manner both in the community and at St. Giles. Blessings to all of you and I pray that God's peace will surround you and that you will be comforted by the beautiful memories of your life together.
