Cheslie mother said she led both a public and a private life and her private life, she was dealing with high-functioning depression which she hid from everyone — including her, until very shortly before her death.”
Simpkins goes on to speak about who her daughter was to her family and to the world.
She ends by asking for continued respect of privacy and donations to organizations.“In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Dress for Success, an organization that was dear to her heart.
