Miss Simms (now Mrs Ancar) was my first grade teacher in the early 80s at LCS. She was my most beloved teacher during my 9 years at the school. Miss Simms was so patient and kind and gentle with us all. She was the perfect teacher for those of us just learning to read and I have the fondest memories of her. She always used such a kind voice. Im sending so much love and sympathy to her family.

I have not seen Judy in years since I moved out of the area but fondly remember her smile and the laughs we had as kids and young adults at LCC and LCS. Sad for her friends and family but so happy for her healing and with her Saviour.
