Sima and I would laugh when we recalled the time she borrowed money from me to tip the operator. She had no cash. Todd

Dear Nat & Family, Sending you deepest sympathy. My late husband, Robert H. Stovall, Sr. and I valued our friendship with you and enjoyed seeing your love for each other.

Robert visited you and Sima over many years beginning with Reynolds & Co. and Dean Witter Reynolds. After Bob & I married in 2004, Sima was our gracious hostess.

Nat always remarked on his good fortune to have Sima. Sima always said marrying Nat was her best decision.

Sima always spoke of your loving children and grandchildren as blessings. They were blessed to have you and Sima as parents and grandparents.

Remembering Sima fondly, Linda
