Not sure what to say?

Many years ago, my mother and I visited Cousin Catherine in Montclair. Third cousins, my mother and Catherine grew up in New Iberia with Simon and Freetown roots. My mother spoke lovingly of "Sweetie." If you would, please get in touch with me; I'd love to connect with this branch of the Simon-Livingston family.

To Michael and Family:
Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. I did not know your Mother, but know of her. She truly blessed many with the beauty of her gift as an educator, and her strength of character in our community.

Ms. Winston has left us a proud legacy, an endowment.

It is now our duty to live our lives in a way that will bless and honor her memory.

Infinite Love & Gratitude
