Merry Christmas from the family of Keith and Shirley Sims! This year’s tree features handprints from the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of Grandma and Grandpa Sims, as well as angels with the names of all of our employees. Keith and Shirley created a huge legacy of love for the Lord, family, and our neighbors, and we’re thankful to have called so many of you friends and family over the years. Merry Christmas from the Sims family! ♥️
