Hello to Simone's mother & family. I was very sorry to read in the paper of Simone's passing this morning. I knew Simone back in the mid- to late-1970s, here in Fayetteville. After that, we lost touch as we were both moving around. I remember Simone is a beautiful person, both inside & out, & an extremely kind soul. I remember her extraordinary friendship & sense of humor the best. She was always up for an adventure, both of the physical kind (going new places) & cerebrally. We both shared a deep love of reading. I am very sorry that I did not know that Simone had returned to Fayetteville; I surely would've loved to gotten together with her again & share more joys. I read in the obituary about her dog Spanky. I am involved in animal rescue &, if needed, could help in rehoming her pup. My email address is [email protected] . Blessings to you all & much love, Jenny Shreve
