She was my Godmother and a favorite person to me. She and my mother (Joan Eckrich Verdon) were good friends. While I had not seen nor heard from her in many years I do have fond memories of her. My deepest condolences to her family.

When I saw Mr.s Crown's obituary I remembered that she was one of my mother's best childhood friends. Judy Sutherland Galbraith often talked about playing with all the Simon kids. The photo I posted is from her album. Thought you might like to see it.
