I'm so sorry for your loss Heather. She was such a great woman who helped those who needed it. If you ever need to talk about it bring the kids and we can catch up over dinner again. Miss you

Thoughts and prayers to comfort you in this very sad time in your life. May God Bless all of you and may your Mother rest in eternal peace.

It sounds like she was a wonderful person Robin.

So sorry

To the Simpson Family

Mrs. Simpson was my third grade teacher. I really enjoyed her as a teacher she was my favorite teacher. She always brought a smile to our class. I remember she went out to have her knee surgery and the class cried when they said goodbye to her. She came back to visit us and it made our day. I kept In touch with her for years after. We wrote letters back and forth. I saw her again at the closing night at coebourn and it made my night. She will be missed by all.

Nana Simpson always treated me as one of her own. She was a wonderful caring person and will be trully missed. She always provided words of encouragement and reassurance. I am so glad I had the oppertunity to stop and see her one last time. I was able to tell her thank you for being a second mother to me. But mostly to tell her that I loved her. She will always be in my heart.

I have a poem I keep in my wallet that I like to share:

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight

I am the soft stars that shine in night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die.

Aunt Jerry will forever be in our hearts.

God Bless you Uncle Tom, Robin, Tom and Karen, Deb and Barry, Rachel, Heather and Matt.

Our deepest sympathy to Uncle Tom, Robin, Tom and Karen, Debbie and Barry, and Heather & Rachel. We remember our Aunt fondly and will miss her.

Debbie and Rick

Robin and family. .so sorry for your loss. May our Lord give you strength during this sorrowful time. She is an angel watching over you now...

To The Simpson Family

Though I have not seen you all in many years you all were once a big part of my childhood. My mom, Kate Campbell, was good friends with Jerry & Tommy was my big brother Danny's best friend . And for that You all hold a special place in my heart. As a little girl I remember going with my mom to your house and seeing Robin and Debbie . I even remembered your moms love of sports , not sure why I remember that but when I read it I thought "yeah she does!" Mostly I remember Tommy at our house with Danny most of my childhood. I believe the last time I saw Tommy was at Danny's funeral .

I wish I had known she lived in Ft Meyers. We are just across Alligator Alley from there in Broward County where we've been for 38 years. My mom and I could have come over. I would have liked that.

You all have my deepest sympathy. I hope your hearts are full to overflowing with nothing but happy memories of your mom and that those memories bring you comfort in the times to come . I'd like to think that Danny was one of the Angels that was there to welcome her home.

My love to you all,

Janet

When I come to the end of the road

and the sun has set on me,

I want no rites in a gloom filled room,

Why cry for a soul set free.

Miss me a little--but not too long,

and not with your head bowed low,

Remember the love that we once shared,

Miss me--but let me go.

For this is a journey that we all must take,

And each must go alone.

It's all a part of the Master's plan,

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart,

Go to the friends we know.

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,

Miss me--but let me go

Gerry was a mentor when I began teaching at Coebourn in 1973. She was one of the teachers I ran to for help. Gerry was generous with her time and always was a source of wisdom for me. She was a grade partner with me when I taught third grade at Coebourn. One of the most intelligent women it has been my luck to meet.

Bless Tom, her daughters and her family as they adjust to this new normal...

So glad I got to see Gerry at the old Coebourn a couple of years ago, before the school was torn down.

See you on the next plane, Gerry.

Love,

Chris Dalton

My deepest condolences to all family members, especially her beloved husband, Tom. My Mom, Virginia Elser Burbage, adored this woman and grieves with this news. I know Jerry provided her with many wonderful memories and for this, I am forever grateful. May all those fond memories carry you on now as you journey forward in a world never to be the same. God speed.

Gerry was a wonderful person and a great colleague. We are all a little poorer today.

Thank you for all that you did for the children. Rest in Peace.

Aunt Jerry was a fixture in my life, a strong pillar of family. I will miss her. What is remembered, lives.

Aunt Gerry, as I was introduced to her as from Connie Hampton, was welcoming to this newcomer to the family. I had a great time a her home at the family reunion.

At each of the other family events it was always good to see her.

Lots of hugs to you all. I know she will be missed. Hang on to the good memories and fun times.

Love,

Isa

My deepest sympathy to the entire Simpson Family. Jerry was such a kind, loving woman. Mat God give you comfort now and always.

You Mother was her own person - I remember the first time I visited your home - all those cook book. She didn't cook, just like to read them. Nope no one sits in the living room either the den or the back patio. Love the back patio and bird watching. Of all the wonderful thing she did, teaching, volunteering, community and church work her best accomplishment is her three loving children. You will always miss Mom - she lives one in each one of you and in our fond memories. Love you all Hugs

Deb, we are so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in our prayers.
