Merrill and Roberta Simon and Family

This is a hard post to write. We said goodbye to our last parent on April 21. Gayle Simon ended her earthly journey, but oh how happy she was as she started her eternal journey. Merrill and I feel certain we will see her in Heaven on day, walking those streets of gold. Who knows, my guess is that Gayle will be running and skipping her way around Heaven. Her earthly body caused her such pain and in many ways was nearly useless, but she made the best of it. While she and I did not always see eye to eye, I have to tell you that she had more sheer guts and determination that anyone I have ever known. She sure did life "her way". With the power of only a few words, she had the power to get things she wanted out of people  who did not want to do whatever it is she wanted done. Now mind you, that is not always a good thing but it was her thing. I would have laid money on her going first...I know, sad but true. She just had a host of medical issues. Not Gayle...my mama ...
