God brought you and your family into my life at the right moment, he always know when to intercede.
We made memories through 41 years of friendship. My best memory of Simon was when in eighth grade for our concert we were to learn the song (To Dream The Impossible Dream) as we sat on my dad's front steps and Simon would pass us girls while practicing, he would say you girls are out of tune.
As many friendships visits and calls were far and few, but yet I did my best to visit and as we sat and talk he would say remember you girls try to sing Impossible Dream and we would just chuckle.
My most sincere and heart felt memory is when my dad passed and we were siting in his living room and he just looked at me and said you know we love you, we are here for you.
Most precious spending time with Simon this last month.

It has been a blessing and honor being part of your life. I love and miss you Simon.
Your now another angel watching over your family and me.
LOVE BECKY
