To Mrs. Sims, Dot Trass and the Entire Sims Family

We were truly so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
Mr. A.C. was a good friend of our father and grandfather (the late LC LEE). Mr. Sims was truly a special person and will be deeply missed but please know that the sorrow of the faithful is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and comfort of God's love.

Love the Lee Family.
