My heartfelt condolences go to the Simon family. I served Mr.Simon at Lomas and I loved him so much. He had so much spunk and heart. He loved Mrs.Simon with the purest of love...so beautiful! I know God had a "special table" waiting for him. I will miss him dearly and my prayers and love go to his family.
