To the Simmerman family: Please accept my sincere condolences and deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear loved one. Death is such a tragedy for all of us, and when it touches us personally, it's sometimes difficult to find the comfort that we search for. Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah, who is the God of all comfort, feels empathy for those who have lost a loved one in death, and therefore promises to swallow up death forever and eliminate all pain and suffering. (Please read Revelation 21:4 and Isaiah 25:8) Jesus gave even more reason for hope at John 5:28,29 where he explains: "...all those in the memorial tombs...will come out..." As you read the above texts in your Bible, may they give you hope and comfort, during this most difficult time. Again, my deepest sympathy. David Cowles

To the Simmerman Family,

I am so, so sorry for your loss. I did not really know Mr. Simmerman, but I did have the privilege of teaching Chris and Samantha at UHS. And I know by the fine, and unique character of those two young people he had to have been a good man and a good father. My heart aches for you all. Know that you are in hearts, thoughts, and prayers of many, many people. You ARE loved.
