I keep this section as Mom was the soul and glue of our family, she and Dad tirelessly ran/operated Simmons Auction, Farmer's Daughter Antiques, raised (2) boys, Dad worked full time at Bayer Corporation and the BOTH served/honored/worshiped Jesus Christ every step of the way. Mom/Dad along with my Aunt Shirley (Dad's Sister) founded the CottonCreek Cowboy Chapel where they served members/community daily as they trusted GOD for every step they took.
