My sincere condolences to the family. Tommie, affectionly known as Simpson, was a dear friend. We met working in the early 90's at the Sheriff's Office. Simpson had a sense of humor and a kind heart. She loved her family. I'll miss her but know that she's safely resting in God's arms. Rest in Paradise, my friend.
