To Al, Adam, and Nel I will never forget how kind hearted and caring your wife/mother was, she treated me like one of her own... the last time I talked to her she sounded so happy, well, when didn’t Mrs. Cimmie sound happy? : ) She wanted to show me the house and when I got to see it I could see all the hard work she put into it.(the walls no longer were football themed) I'm positive I will get to see her again in the future... always your Marj!

Terinda, my dearest friend and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Know that while I am many miles away you are close to my heart. I remember the time that Cimmie came out to California and helped with the yard sale, she sold everything but the kitchen sink although I think that if she could have removed it she would have. What fun and laughs we had. I know that she will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched.

Love you,
Margarita
