I spent a great deal of time at the Haley-Simpson house from the time I was 15 through my late 20s. I remember Mom showering her unique yet unmistakable brand of love on all the kids lucky enough to have found friendship in her children. I will always remember her laugh and smile, and how her birthday made Valentine's day so much more special!

I love you Mom,,,

Safe journey home...

Always -
