The family of Mr. Willie L. Simpkins in consideration of the current health crisis facing our world, nation, state and local community, has decided to hold a private, family only, service for their loved one that will be live-streamed via the G. L. Brightharp & Sons Mortuary Facebook page. While the Simpkins family would love to be surrounded by your presence, they acknowledge the health risks to family, church members, friends, and particularly to those who are most vulnerable to this disease, the elderly and those with chronic health conditions. Likewise, the family will not receive guests at their home. What the family needs most at this time are your prayers and understanding. Thank you for your concern and cooperation. Public viewing will be held from 3:00 PM until 6:00 PM Tuesday at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Antioch Baptist Church via Givelify.com.
