My daughter, Alexis told me that Coach Simmons ' wife had died and I was in shock because not only did Coach Simmons teach both my children but T and I knew each other from middle school through college. I can't believe this. Now I can only send strength and comforting prayers. I am sending my sincere thoughts to her family as I remember the laughter she gave me. Remember the wonderful memories of her. I know that I will.
