She wrote, “2 years later … Been on my mind heavy. This time of year brings back so many emotions. Still missing you here. So thankful you left me with such a shining light. Knowing that you would be as proud as me of your son. I could just hear you now speaking (bragging) about him. He’s everything you ever wanted him to be and more ♥️ 🙏🏽Rest In Heaven #SuttonForever#MightAsWell.” Many of Simmons’ fans showed the star some support by liking and sending uplifting comments her way. The post racked up over 186,000 likes.
Tennyson was shot and killed outside of his Atlanta home on Nov. 3, 2018, following a heated argument with suspect Michael Williams. Williams ultimately turned himself in a week later and was charged with murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony.
