Good Ole Mrs Simpson!❤. Aka "Big Mamma" that's what my cousin LaShawna used to call her when she was a little girl and on up into her adult age I remember when she used to come pick Lashawna up to take over to her house to spend time she graciously accepted me into her home and her life if I was there every time she'd come and get Lashawna she would always take me then we would just play mr. Simpson would tell us about his days in the Major League that's where I was first introduced to cantaloupe never liked it still do not like it to this day lol but I used to love when they pull out that watermelon I give my deepest condolence to family and friends to my dear loving cousin LaShawna and her family I'll keep you all in my prayers I Pray for Peace of Mind heart and soul for you all for God did not take your loved one away he recruited his foot soldier to release your guardian angel love you all God bless
