We read about Greg's death in the St. Camillus bulletin. We are so sorry for your loss. We, too, lost a son (age 19) and understand your pain. He will always be present in your heart.

Dear Karen,Bob,Steve, Cathryn and Anne-Marie: I could not believe this when Jane emailed me today, until I saw Greg's photo. I remember him so vividly--kind, smiling and embarassed when I mistook him as the youngest...I am thinking of you and Greg with love and deep sympathy.

I have very sweet memories of the loving Simon family as each of the children passed through my 3 year old class. Each one learned that their name is written on the palm of God's hand, never to be lost or forgotten. Greg is not lost and all is kept in the harvest of God. May we all be consoled by God's loving kindness.

Dear Simon Family,
We are sending our deepest sympathies to all of you at this time. We can not even fathom the loss you are feeling. We remember Greg so full of fun and smiles. He was a great "big brother" to the Wuhu sisterhood. Please know our prayers are with you and I hope you can find some peace in knowing Greg is with our Heavenly Father.
With much love and sadness,
Brad, Leslie, and Mariah

Bob, Karen, Steve, Cathryn and Anne-Marie,
Words can hardly begin to express the depth of sadness we feel at the loss of your son, Greg. If we did not know that he is now with the One who first called him to life, how could we bear it? His life was short, but very full. He brought laughter to all. I have no doubt that heaven is a better place for Greg's being there. God bless all of you.
