To the Simeone Family,

I was sorry we could not express our sympathy in person as we had reservations to leave on Friday for a weekend with friends that have been after us for sometime for the last five years, but due to the fact that we had my mother in law to visit on Sundays we could not go, this time we had no excuse. I was happy to share the experience of being with Edith on Sundays at the Village at Elmhurst, later named Capital Ridge to assit the good Dominican priest with Mass on Sundays for the resident. At one time we had to really ask the priest not to discontinue the services, due to the lack of priest, we did a Prayer Service with distribution of the Holy Eucharist, until we got the extra priest. Edith was always asking for the priest to pray for this one and that one it did not matter, it could of been family or friends, but she was very faithful to her prayers.

To the Mollos, Scettas, and all the branches of the Simeone/D’Amato family:
“Oooooohh Donnieeee!” I remember that greeting and the BIG HUG that went with it every time I saw Edith – right up until the last time I saw her at my mother and dad’s memorial. What a wonderful friend! I could count on the same greeting and hug every time my family and I returned to Raymond Street from TX, from Viet Nam, from OH, from Korea, from GA, from VA, from Europe, from FL, or from CO. It was always the same. “Oooooohh Donnieeee!” I remember when she held my mother and dad’s hand when the three of them commiserated the death of my kid brother, Doug. Every time I chatted with Mom and Dad they informed me of Edith’s best wishes for my family and me. I wish there were someone left to tell the stories of “the front porch adventures!”
Regretfully I didn’t get word of your loved one’s passing in time to respond. To Vicki, Loraine, Bruno, and extended family members, there is nothing I would have loved more than to have returned to RI to pay my respects to your mother, grandmother, great grandmother for one last time. God's peace and serenity to all of you from all of us.

On behalf of our Smith Hill community of neighbors and friends I want to extend condolences to the family of Mrs. Simone.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Simone for many years beginning as a young kid in the neighborhood. I was a fellow Raymond Street neighbor to Mrs. Simone and later I had the honor of serving as her councilman. Over the stretch these many years Mrs. Simone remained among the most admired and loved. I made at least two visits to the Elmhurst Assisted Living just to say hello to her. Her disposition was always pleasant as it had been since I was a kid. I know that I am among the many who will truly miss her.

My deepest sympathy to the Simone and Scetta families.

I was so sorry to hear about your family's loss. Your mom/grandmother always made me feel welcome in her home. She was a kind person. May God bring you comfort and healing during this difficult time.

God's Garden

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your precious face

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest;
God' s Garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew you' d never ever
Get well on earth again.

So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered " Peace be thine "
Then He took you up to Heaven
With Hands so gentle and kind.

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God welcomed you home.

We are deeply saddened by Auntie's passing. We are so sorry we will not be able to attend the funeral, but please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. The first time Auntie Edith came to my home was for Giovanna's baptism. As a house warming present, she brought me a candy dish that she had received for her 25th wedding anniversary. I placed it on a console in the foyer. I will remember her and say a prayer for her every time I pass it.
With deepest sympathy,
George, Michele, Giovanna & Genevieve Landrie
