My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I have many fond memories of your Mother growing up in Morton Grove. Spending time at the house, and she always treated me as one of her own. She was a wonderful woman.

Dear Simkins Family,
Will never forget your mom's kitchen where everyone was welcome and all the Morton Grove 4th of July Parades where she reigned as queen with her court from the Simkins' front porch. May the dear memories you will always have of her help you through this difficult time. Our hearts and prayers are with you all.
