Hey honey, its taken so long for me to have the strength to do this. You have been my life, 25 yrs and 3 kids later. I dont know how to go on still. I love you everyday forever, i think i still pretend like you are here or i couldnt breathe. you would be so proud of your kids, they are strong, they are hurt and they are angry, but they loved you more than anything or anyone in this world. I only look forward till the day i see you again. We all need you and miss all the little things that we would never dream would matter. I have tried to control my need for revenge and to blame someone or something because i know thats what you would want, but ill never be the same, ever. you and i were one, and we will be together again. i love you honey, miss you so bad. i will see you soon, Love your wife

Words are a poor tool to express our feelings. We have an emptiness in our hearts that memories can only partly fill. Jack was a gift of joy to Carol and myself and especially to Aimee and Eric.I can hardly remember being with him that we didn't laugh.
From the first time I saw him he was my real life Huckleberry Finn. Always ready for any adventure and a bit of mischief. If you needed a friend or help you never had to ask.
Jack Harold is the namesake of a man who would be truely honored. God Bless you Harold Simpson.
I know Shaelynn was there to welcome him. God Bless and keep them both.
It has been an honor. Till we see you again.

Jack, I have so many special memories. We all had some good times. There were many times you gave me a shoulder to cry on or made me laugh when I needed it most. You went home too soon and you will truly be missed. RIP my friend. We will see you again someday. Prayers for Kathy, the kids and everyone that loves you. May God help them find peace and healing.

Jack, the hearts that new and loved you so, will never be the same. You were a true friend, a kind soul and we all were so blessed to have you call us friend. We love and miss you so...
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
