Our deepest condolences to Simone's family and friends on hearing of her sudden passing. Simone was the epitome of love, life and laughter. She had a good sense of humor and an infectious laugh. I had some great belly laughs with Simone. She shared the same birthday, April 1st, with my grandmother Besner. I will never forget how kind she was to my father, myself, and our family. Rest in peace Simone! ❤️ Love, Doug and Elaine
