My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness, become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures
John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."
This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)

My deepest condolences. May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...
John 11:32-45
32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth.

I remeber when i first met Chris at Green Valley. I had always went to their office to talk to Jesse, that was before i met Chris. They were playing Rook and i had sit by Jesse and i was taking pictures with Chris and Jesse. We started talking and hanging out more and more. I know i did not know Chris for that long but we had a bond that was strong. I would always ask Kathy M. if Chris and Jesse were here. I would sit and talk to Chris for hours and loved to hear his fascinating stories. He always made my day better and no matter what i know i could trust him with any secret or anything. He was amazing and so full of life. I loved everything about him. He made me smile when i was down and just wow. Im speechless because he was so amazing and no words can really explain how i feel about him. I love you Christopher Shane Simmons and miss you boo! I hope to see you someday soon.
I wrote a Poem For Chris:
God don’t let this be true
Because I cant bear losing you
I have cried on this day
But I just wanna say
Chris, I love you
And miss you too.
Have fun in heaven
Ill see you one day soon.
<3
