Edward J Simons

Our hearts go out to all of you during this difficult time. He was always so kind to us during our visits. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything. Tammie, Robbie, Valerie, Devin & Families

Grandpa,
Today we laid you down to rest. I want to thank you for all that was taught, all that was sacrificed, and I was given, and the never ending love that you showed me. Even when I was acting in anger you showed me how a man should act and treat others. Even though I may not walk as close with God I know that you are walking hand and hand with him, and Mom (grandma), and feel no pain just joy. Please know that I will always cherish the times we had in my youth and am thankful I was able to have such a close and outstanding relationship with you the last few years. My children will always be pointed to your example of what a man should strive to be. You will be missed more than words can express. Rest in peace and walk with God. I love you still.

God measures a man around his heart. Eddie's was as big as they get. Wish we could be there. Vivian, Leann & families

Wish Mom & I could be there. We have lots of memories of our times together. Eddie was a great guy. Leann

My Heart, Love and prayers are with you. I will miss talking to Eddie and keeping in touch. I am so sorry I can't be there as I wanted to very much be with you. Vivian

Ed was a dear Christian man who will be so missed. My prayers and thoughts are with his precious family. God strengthen you all as he goes home, and may his memories remain always in your hearts. Love and blessings.

We met Ed in 1992 & noticed what a caring man he was. Not just for his family, but also for those around him. What privileged to have known him and blessed that we will meet again someday in Heaven.

We are so sorry for the passing of your loved one. May GOD surround you, and comfort you during these sad days!

My father was the most wonderful man. I had the privilege of spending a lot of time with him as he lived only a few miles from my home. I can honestly say, he was one of my closest friends. I will miss him so much. He loved his family and made such an impact in my life. He taught me to be a hard worker, always have integrity and to love my Lord and Savior. Thank you Dad. I love you!.
