Guest Book

Deacon Simmons was a devoted man of God, a leader in our church and in the community growing up in Springfield. He refereed many sporting events I participated in. I love hearing him sang hymns and prayed in church services at Philadelphia Primitive Baptist Church. My condolences to his family and may God comfort you. Thank you Dea for the much meaningful advice you gave us growing up.
