To the family of Simon Byler, you have my deepest sympathy. Simon was a gentle man whom I came to know nearly thirty years ago. He was also a quiet man who often showed those around him that it was OK to exhibit a strength of faith and integrity. Heaven is surely richer for his presence. I'm truly thankful for having known him, as I'm sure many others would agree. God Bless and comfort his family even now as they come know the many lives Simon impacted.
