I wanted to express my sympathy at the death of Mr Simos. I appreciated his strength in facing the cancer, and the calm spirit of your family. It was wonderful that James was able to be aware of the presence of his family (and his Lord) and offer a final prayer, and that family and friends were able to support him in the final moments of this life. Thank you for the trust placed in me and the hospice team. DGMorrical MD, FCCP

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy and condolances to the Simos' family on the homegoing of James Simos. I am one of the front desk clerks @ Medical Consultants and really got close with the Simos family. My mother has the same kind of cancer and we all discussed how one and the other was doing and how we are praying for each other. I am deeply sadden and want the family to know that I cared about Mr. Simos as well.

Please know that the Lord knows best and he will not put on us anymore that we can bear... "Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning." Your morning season is coming. Sorry, I could not make the service I just found out today but you are all in my prayers :(

Love you all!
God Bless
