I am very sorry to hear of the passing of my cousin, Janice. I have fond memories of when we were little girls, and other warm memories in latter years. I remember her as a woman who was full of energy and laughter. I will give my father, her uncle, Bill Burke, a copy of this obituary. Please send my sympathy to all family members, especially her husband and children. I am truly sorry for your loss. She was a great lady. My prayers are with you all.

To Mr.Simon, George, Debbie, Jay, Mariellen and Eric,
Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Mrs. Simon was such a vibrant and fun person. A wonderful Mother, wife, neighbor and confidante. I will always remember her smile and generosity. The family dinners, vacations, sleepovers and great times I had at your house, will be memories I will treasure forever. The beautiful wedding cake she made for us was not only a surprise but was amazing in every way, just like her. She will be sadly missed by so many. We were all so lucky to have known her! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you through this most difficult time.
