Simon’s mother passed away suddenly on Sunday evening. She was an astonishingly brave woman, having battled a number of serious health conditions throughout her life.

This is a photo I took while Simon’s parents were visiting us in California. The three of them just happened to turn up in yellow, which made for a perfect shot! Elsie was particularly drawn to Grandma’s lap.

I am grateful for my thirteen years with Marianne Alfred and the gift of the two she gave me: Simon and Elsie Marie.

    Simon,

    I feel so for your loss. Life is very stressful and challenging and this is a difficult burden to bear.

    This picture is wonderful. I’m so glad you got to see her in California.

    We’re praying for you.
