When the phone rang on that Tuesday evening I was expecting to hear your voice on the other end saying when are we going to play cards or when are you''all coming over. I never expected Uncle Ronnie to be on the other end to tell us that you went to be with everyone in Heaven!!! Aunt Fay you will never be forgotten and you will always be in our hearts .

Fay was such a character. She was fun-loving, always made me laugh, was very loyal, and loved all of the kids at Harahan. I worked with Fay for many years at Harahan. She was a great friend to me. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Simon family.

A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how truly I was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with your life, don't worry about falls.
I will miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes we're together again.

November 13, 2016

Our deepest sympathy to Ronnie and the
family for the passing of your loved one.
May you find comfort knowing your friends support you at this time of sadness.
