Dear Mommy Simpson,



You will truly be missed by me and my family. You were such a joy and I am truly blessed to have known you.



I dont know why God does things the way He does sometimes, but they are always for a reason.



You have raised 5 beautiful children and two wonderful grandchildren.

You have also been a wonderful mother to many other young people including myself.

You have been a friend, a lover, a caretaker, a teacher, advisor and all the other qualities a true angel possesses.



I love you for putting up the great fight.



I hope and pray that I am as strong as you were.



Peace and Love,



Melissa Davis
