I was so sad to hear of Simone's passing!I met her at Atria in Cumberland.She was so sweet and caring..She was such a pleasure to talk to....I used to visit a friend of mine at Atria and Simone always had time to stop and converse with me.She was always playing Rumikub with the other ladies..I am so very sorry to her family and friends. I have certainly missed her as my friend was moved to another assisted living.So sad....
