IN MEMORY OF
1ST LADY ARSIE L. ‘PRECIOUS’ SIMS July 26, 1948 – April 28, 2016
Praying and watching, but you were not looking at me. Praying and hoping that you would be healed
and restored, but you did not rise.
Praying and telling you that I love you
but you did not respond.
Praying, kissing and touching you
but you did not kiss or touch back.
Praying and smiling as I remembered the good times but you did not smile.
Praying and calling your name but you did not answer. God whispered to your soul and
I believe you joyfully responded.
Thank You Jesus! Hallelujah and
Praise His Holy Name!
—Reverend W. D. Sims 4/25/18 It has been two years since that afternoon when God’s pre-ordained time came that we would know you had left this side to the place of “Paradise” with the Lord. God knew exactly when to let us know that He had indeed heard our every prayer and healed you. He did not re- move sickness from you, however He did remove you
from sickness and you were healed and restored.
We all miss you every moment of every day, yet we are confident that though you are absent from the body you are present with the Lord. You told me that I had too much work to do and I could not transition for you, I tire-
lessly continue to work while it is day.
Two years have passed and you are still sadly missed by your Hon/Reverend/Husband/Pastor W. D. Sims; daughters and their children: Kimberly (Caiden, Averie, Jace); LaDon (Alyssa, Aidan, Auriel); Kandy (Tyreke, Tyrell), along with Mommie Ivory Mabry, Mother Em- meral Latimer and a host of family members and friends. Your sister, Cassie McCain is still with me, providing that reassuring and loving support needed as family and mem- ber.
The St. Matthew Missionary Baptist Church Family continues to remember and memorialize you as their First Lady. They are around to comfort me at all times. Your words continue to ring: “LOVE IS WHAT LOVE DOES!” We all miss and love you much our beloved Pre- cious.
One day, my “Precious,” I will be on that side where you are .I miss and love you MUCH!
We still hear your voice speaking one of your favorite Scriptures: 1. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
Psalms 121:1-2
“LOVE IS WHAT LOVE DOES!”
