Bio and Links
Bio Photo I helped co-write state laws to protect our cemeteries here in Texas.
I've been Honored by the Texas State Senate, Texas State House of Representatives, The Dallas County Historical Commission for my work in preserving and protecting our cemeteries. I served on The State Senate Advisory Committee as well as being an Advisor to a number of cities in my area pertaining to cemeteries within their city limits. I have helped in clean ups and restoring a number of cemeteries. I believe very strongly in cemetery preservation. Cemeteries in most cases are the only history of those that came before us. Like rare books in a library once it's lost it's lost forever.
I served six years on the Duncanville City Council, two years as mayor pro-tem.
I've been working on family genealogy since 1976. I'm the wife of Wallace Richards.

Nathan Simmons
Death Certificate of N.A. Simmons
Judy:

Thank you very much and god bless you! Nathan A. Simmons was my grandfather. I never knew him. This con firms that the died from the same disease as my father, Gardner Syndrome, the same one I have. This document also gives us the parental carrier of the genetic defect, my great grandfather Nathan Ariel "Pappy" Simmons's second wife and Delia and our first look at her maiden name.

Again, thank you so very much.

Nathan Edward Simmons Jr.

Mom to angels Bo and Chris

I sent an "edit" to you so that this one could be linked to her mother. I just put the number in and it comes up memorial not found...so I guess it has been deleted. I deleted the memorial that I had done up on this one since it turned out to be a duplication, but was going to link her to her mother, but apparently that memorial has been deleted as well. Sorry for the error. Cecile
