"I regret my not being able to attend the funeral services for Aunt Evie due to the current 14 day quarantine requirement. One of my fondess childhood memories is when Aunt Evie took me to the church picnic at Lake Obrest. We swam,played games and had a good time with my Sunday school classmates. Aunt Evie was always a lady, polite and set an example for future generations. There must be a big Simpson family reunion going on in Heaven right now! Babs (Bobby Jo)"
