To Faye,Unc and family,
my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you at the loss of your loved one. Simone was a very pleasant and upbeat young lady, ever time we met. I always admired her flare for indigent and infirmed people as well as her love for animals. She was unique in every sense of the word.
Love, Glo

Simone You Name Means God is Listening
God is saying “no more pain, no more suffering here on this earth.
I provided you a better place before your birth.
Rest now child from all your worry in the presence of my glory.”
We shed tears because we did not have a chance to say good bye.
However, we will wait to see you in the sweet by and by.
We will remember your smile and the times you played the clarinet in L.B. Landry High School band
We will remember, no matter what the issue, you always had a plan.
Even if the plan was going from plan A to plan B, you did it with ease.
We will remember so many things about you, but I have to say
My family will remember your dad's doughnuts always!
Simone this is not good bye, but see you later.
God's plan for you was so much greater.
May you rest in perfect peace until the trumpet of God sounds!
To the Family, Friends and Loved ones of Simone, I extend my deepest sympathy and pray that you find comfort in knowing that because Jesus lives, Simone too will live again. May God bless each of you and keep you in perfect peace.

Narcisse, I do know your pain and what you are going through too well. Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy surely comes. Continue to give it Jesus and it will be alright! Just remember that Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. Continue to take it one day at a time and my prayer is that God strengthens and comfort you all in your time of bereavement. I Love you, Narcisse.

Simone was an amazing Spirit who completed her earthly assignment. She has left some awesome memories of being a pleasure to know. The facebook world loved seeing her post to our pages with her humor. But when it was time to be serious, she was a helluva activist. I will miss you posting to my page and seeing all of your pictures, of you smiling with your family and friends. Now take you rest Sweet Angel!

Faye, Harry, Tammy and the Family...My Thoughts and Prayers are with you at this very difficult time. Simone touched and left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. She was a very lovely young lady, one whom I loved and will miss dearly! She was always concerned about my health and well-being. Never ever thinking that she would leave me here. She would always ask me. "Ms. C, how are your eyes doing"? She was so thoughtful and caring. Yes, you have loss an Earthly Jewel, but you have now gained a Precious Guardian Angel! We all loved Simone, but Our Heavenly Father loved her best! She will forever live in the hearts of her Family and Friends.
Rejoice and Dance Around Heaven All Day, Simone!
May God Bless and Comfort the Family!

Simone, I will forever hold in my heart the memories we shared. You were unique in every single way. I'll never forget the summer you sent for us in Dallas back in '94. I thought you were the coolest sister ever. Monie, you are ONE OF A KIND! Praying that God ease my pain, I'll think on the good things, like them "green shorts" (insider) and I wont tell the others that I was the favorite....CLICK! And to the rest of the family, BE STRONG! I know right now
It's hard to understand just what lies ahead And what is God's plan We ask ourselves many questions why,Is He still involved and cares about our lives? We ask 'where is love'
When we're in need,when we're in the midst Of a tragedy? But we can rest assured that He is with us every step of the way, with compassionate love.
Forever Sisters,
