We were sad to hear this past Friday of the passing of Simone. We enjoyed her presence at the Christian Group every Friday morning at Northwood. She had been coming since February 2014. We send our condolences to the family and to you Donna who we had the pleasure of meeting on several occasions.
Simone will be missed but we do rejoice that she is now in Paradise with her Lord. May God comfort you all in the days ahead. God bless. Catherine Hardy & Katy Urban
