Dear Cousins,

Si always had a smile and exuded warmth and humankindness to us all. Even as a little kid, whenever I saw him (usually in church) I'd think to myself, "Now that guy has class!" He was always interested in what my brother Paul and I were up to, and we were always so happy to see him.

I believe that in life and in love, no one is ever lost to us in Spirit. I join my entire family in sending you all my heartfelt sympathy at this time. I am with you, send much love, and will be in touch very soon.

Love,

Deborah Liston

Simon was a person I have known all my life. We became friends in Roxbury, Massachusetts, when he was 3 years old and I was 4 so our friendship lasted for more than 75 years. His name in the Albanian language is Simonaq and I called him "Naqi" whereas my real first name is Sotiraq and I was called "Raqi" so we became known as "Naqi" and "Raqi" to friends and family alike. We almost always used those names when we greeted each other during the long years of our friendship.

I shall miss my dear, lifelong friend "Naqi."

Jane and I send our deepest condolences to Dita and her dear family.
