A candle has been lit!

So sorry to learn that Sims has passed. Having known Sims from a professional level; I thought a lot of him and his father before him! May you be comforted by the fact that his battle with cancer is now over and he is at peace.

I enjoyed each 3 months visit. He was always sharing Natalie’s accomplishments. Saying if there was reincarnation he’d recommend anyone to live the charmed life and come back as Natalie Lanier. We always had a great visit. I will miss Sims. Natalie, you were is pride and joy.

Patti and I are very sorry to hear of the passing of Fred's brother, Sims. I only met him once, at my daughter and son-in- law's wedding I believe, and was impressed with what a gentleman he was. Please accept our deepest condolences.

Sims was a friend and my fellow charter brother of the ETA Zeta Chapter of Sigma Chi at Georgia Southern. His smile and wit were most infectious and we have lost a true friend and brother of “ In Hoc”.

Mr. Sims was a friend and a mentor to me. Mr. Sims always played a big part in anything we did at our youth center. We will truly will miss him. I talked to Mr. Sims on the phone about a week before he passed, before he hung the phone up, he stopped and said I love you! I replied back that I love you also. I had a gut feeling then that would be my last time talking to him. He was truly special and we will forever love him.
