Thursday, September 30, 2004 -- 22:58:07 (EDT) Name: Rachael Coleman -- Email: geminimoon@csolutions.net Location: SLC, UT Thursday, September 30, 2004 -- 11:47:11 (EDT) Name: Mary Craig -- Email: mfcraig@umich.edu Location: Salt Lake City, UT United States I don't remember that time in the pool (maybe it was at Deborah's old place in FH?), but I do remember a romp in a pool on the deck at Isamu's new house on his birthday. Yes, Simon had no fear of the big slide. And he loved the tandem slide down by Lev's, especially when it turned into a race. Yes, the Eyewitness books, especially "Fish" were huge for a very young Simon. He was still a fan of the videos up to the end of his life. He and I loved to watch nature flicks together. Yes, THE toy store. What a blessing it was to have White Rabbit in our backyard. We did play there a lot, and somehow managed, sometimes, not to purchase anything. Yes, I remember the snow bunny, and taking Marina and Simon around on sleds. And, later, zipping down our perfect mini-hill by the soccer field with Marek and Lev. I have so many great memories of Simon, too. It is important to keep the happy memories alive as I struggle with the hard ones that require repeated attempts at acceptance. The memories that are so hard I scarcely dare feel them. There is simply a lot of work for all of us to do as we face our losses and acknowledge both joy and pain. Thanks for your help in the process! --Mary Thursday, September 30, 2004 -- 02:22:59 (EDT) Name: Malissa Nesmith -- Email: mjnesmith@msn.com Location: Augusta, Kansas I found Simon's website in April, 2004, when our 3-year old son, Canon, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. We spent the month of August at Sloan-Kettering, and the month of September in the Wichita hospital recovering. I had not checked the website since June and my heart is breaking this evening to learn of Simon's passing. We have been in so many similar situations with Canon. Your strength and love for Simon is so beautiful. Your family has been such a wonderful example to others, like us, going through this journey. Thank you for what you have done and what you continue to do. God bless you and your family, and may God bless His new, precious angel! --Malissa Wednesday, September 29, 2004 -- 23:34:42 (EDT) Name: Kathy Duderstadt -- Email: duderstadt@sbcglobal.net Location: san antonio, tx Do you remember how Simon had no fear of going down the Big Slide? Do you rememer the Eyewitness books with the insects and ? Do you remembert the toy store (White Rabbit, I believe, where we use to take our kids to play with Thomas the Tank engine. Do you remember the snow bunny.... I have mostly great memories of Simon kathy '' Wednesday, September 29, 2004 -- 21:14:52 (EDT) Name: Cynthia Rockwell -- Email: crockwell@wesleyan.edu Location: Middletown, CT Here I am, editing the Wesleyan magazine class notes, and I read about Simon, your beautiful firstborn, on the day of my firstborn's birthday (20 years ago), who also had neuroblastoma but died after only nine weeks here on earth. I'm thinking of you and sending all good, strong, healing thoughts. It's clear Simon was a beautiful child here and his wonderful spirit continues his work. Wishing you all strength, courage, and enduring love. Sincerely, --cynthia r. Wednesday, September 29, 2004 -- 14:51:31 (EDT) Name: Rachael Coleman -- Email: geminimoon@csolutions.net Location: SLC, UT A couple weeks ago my family & I traveled to Northern California for a 3-day peace festival including a Guinness Book of World Records drum circle with over 4500 registered participants. I put a link to the Earthdance site behind this post. Our first stop was my best friend's in Santa Rosa. I found myself visiting Simon's site from her house. The last time I'd been there I found out Simon had died. I held you all near and carried Simon tucked into a corner of my heart for the weekend that followed. I was going to check in from Rose's, but was overwhelmed. Simon's presence is still an amazingly large force in my life. As we gathered for the drum circle there was a prayer for world peace. Afterwards Wavy Gravy spoke and led us through a grounding/centering exercize. He commented on those who had passed and were surely there in spirit...Jerry Garcia, Ken Kesey, Babatundi Olatunji...I whispered "...and Simon, too" to Maggie. There was such a carnival atmosphere filled with color, costumes, dancing, giant puppets, a Chinese dragon, and of course drums. A friend of a friend was in his small plane taking pictures from above and said he could feel the rhythm of the drum beats on the wings of his plane. Hopefully a ripple of healing energy went up into the cosmos and also down deep into our Mother Earth. Hopefully we also help bring about balance as the drum circle was poised right on the cusp of the Autumnal Equinox. Mostly, I didn't want a whole month to go by without checking in with you all. My life is filled to overflowing with getting back into the school groove with my kids. I'm hoping to find some balance myself. (((Mary, Markus and Miriam))) you are rarely far from my thoughts. You all continue to be my real life heroes. Much love & bright blessings, Rachael Monday, September 27, 2004 -- 14:26:20 (EDT) Name: Katrina Zook -- Email: kzook@uwyo.edu Location: Laramie, WY I was so glad to hear you found someone with whom to make music. I hope that continues to be a powerful outlet for you. You are setting a wonderful example for Miriam in the process, that art can truly soothe the soul; at times bringing emotion so close to the surface that you can't function and at other times providing quiet comfort, both of which are necessary when dealing with grief. Grief, I found, truly has a life of its own, and music can be a leveler. I continue to think of you and Markus and Miriam each day. Love, Katrina Monday, September 27, 2004 -- 00:42:40 (EDT) Name: Annette It's nice to read your posts and feel somewhat connected to the process. I liked Sally's point about "Grief doing you", makes more sense to me. I guess one has to again, like with childbirth give up one's sense of control and go with it where it takes you - mainly to a place unknown and often painful. I know how challenging that can be in birth and can only imagine how even more challenging in death. We think of you all often. Hope you got the photos from our hike. I love Miriam claiming the rock at the top of the first big hill. Love, Annette Sunday, September 26, 2004 -- 19:55:51 (EDT) Name: Marta, Paul and Sam -- Email: manildi@millercanfield.com Location: Ann Arbor, MI Happy Birthday to Miriam! It is surprising to me how one's perspective changes - you write about Miriam turning 5 as if that is a lot of years, and I remember when Sam became 5 I felt just that way. Now that he is 15, 5 seems young, and I remember Miriam when I last saw her - how long ago? - I'm not sure, but I think she was not quite 4, and she seemed so much of a person, so big, all curiousity and vibrancy and curls, I am surprised to be reminded she is "only" 5 now. We think of Simon as big too, someone whose presence was so definite and particular and unlike any other. Even though we mostly knew him long distance we find ourselves thinking of him so often and being surprised that somehow the rest of us go on without his immediate presence. It was very nice to come back to the site, like visiting an old friend, and get caught up on your thoughts and doings. Our hearts remain with you. Marta, Paul and Sam Sunday, September 26, 2004 -- 11:51:18 (EDT) Name: Anne and Katrin Kleinert -- Email: katrin.kleinert@gmx.net Location: Karlsruhe and Munich, Germany es tut uns sehr leid um den Tod von eurem lieben Simon, den wir leider gar nicht kennen gelernt haben. Wir wünschen euch, dass ihr auch diese schwere Zeit gut übersteht, nachdem ihr so lange mit ihm zusammen gekämpft habt. Nach den vielen Jahren (seit Karlsruhe 199?) würden wir uns sehr über ein Wiedersehen freuen! Alles Liebe an euch drei, eure Anne und Katrin Wednesday, September 22, 2004 -- 19:47:43 (EDT) Name: Kris Hopkins -- Email: khopkins@mail.colgate.edu Location: Clinton, NY And speaking of Miriam -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Turning 5 is such a big thing, isn't it? There are so many things you can begin to do for yourself -- it's really very exciting. So congratulations, Miriam! Hope you had something really yummy at the Spaghetti Factory, and I hope the evening was very pleasant and comfortable for everyone. BTW, I'm very excited that our family will be heading to SLC in early July of next year! We'll be there for the international barbershop harmony convention/contest and will be sure to look you up while we're in town! Maybe Miriam would be willing to play tour guide and tell my guys some of the fun things there are for kids to do in the area. :-) Our best to all of you, Kris Wednesday, September 22, 2004 -- 10:35:35 (EDT) Name: Sally Olson Location: Seattle, WA I felt your emotions as I read of your plans to go to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. My heart ached a bit. Yet, I think Miriam knows what she needs to do, in her own way. Let us all know how it went. A friend of mine said often to me after my father's death: "You don't do grief; grief does you". I think that's what you're experiencing from your description. Please call me if you want to talk, but I know it's sometimes hard to pick up the phone. love to you all, Sally Tuesday, September 21, 2004 -- 16:55:46 (EDT) Name: Lindsay , Lance & Andre Location: Grand Rapids, MI It makes me recall her 3rd birthday with enough dress up clothes to outfit the party & a very delicious chocolate cake. Friday, September 17, 2004 -- 02:40:16 (EDT) Name: Mary Craig -- Email: mfcraig@umich.edu Location: Salt Lake City, UT United States I must respond to your mention of a brightly hued yarn. One of Simon's favorite books is called "Angelita's Magic Yarn". He requested it repeatedly during the last bedtime reading sessions he shared with Miriam and me. He knew my passion for yarn and made special note of his favorite yarns in the story. It's a wonderful tale of need and ingenuity and luck. I checked Amazon, and the book is listed as out of print, limited availabilty (some used copies are listed). I found a link to a photo of the cover on our local libary's Web site. It's really long and ugly, but you can copy/paste it to see the image (I hope). http://salty.slcpl.lib.ut.us/search/tangelita%27s+magic+yarn Love, Mary Friday, September 17, 2004 -- 00:04:39 (EDT) Name: Kris Hopkins -- Email: khopkins@mail.colgate.edu Location: Clinton, NY I continue to think about you, and never more so than when I was in Oberlin this past weekend for Alumni Council meetings. There I saw many others who've also been following your difficult journey and wishing you well. I also had the pleasure of running into your parents, Mary. It was so good to see them both and to talk, at least briefly, about all of you and about this incredible community of caring that you've created.... Throughout the weekend it seemed to me as though your family has somehow become a wonderful and (in honor of Simon I'll term it a) brightly hued yarn that even now continues to knit together people from all over the world. It's becoming, in a sense, a beautiful afghan, spreading love and warmth to all who come in contact with it.... And, Mary, I echo what others have written here: your words have come to mean a great deal to me, too; and I would urge you, if and when you ever feel ready and able to, to share your thoughts and reflections even more broadly than you have already. There are undoubtedly people beyond SimonsPlace and the NB listserv who would benefit from the honesty,clarity, and sensitivity that you express so eloquently through your writing. I sense that the process and product of writing is therapeutic for you, but what you may not have realized initially is that it can and does provide healing for your "audience" as well -- at least it does for me. So thank you for sharing of yourself so deeply. Wishing you peace, Kris Thursday, September 16, 2004 -- 14:58:11 (EDT) Name: Gisela and Andreas Kleinert -- Email: kleinert@physik.uni-halle.de Location: Halle, Sachsen-Anhalt Germany wir sind mit Euch sehr traurig, daß Simon gestorben ist. Es hat uns sehr berührt, wie der tapfere kleine Bub seine Krankheit ertragen hat - mit wieviel Fröhlichkeit trotz allem! Und wir haben auch gesehen, wieviel Kraft der Familie abgefordert wurde. Bewundernswert, wie Ihr diese unglaublich schwere Zeit durchgehalten habt. Nun wird es Euch auch gelingen, langsam Eure innere Ruhe wiederzufinden. Wir wünschen Euch, daß zu der Trauer die Freude kommen wird darüber. daß Ihr dieses wunderbare Kind erlebt habt. Simon war wie ein kleiner Komet, der mit einer leuchtenden Spur plötzlich vom Himmel fällt. Er wird unsichtbar, aber er geht ja nicht verloren. Ganz herzliche Grüße Eure Gisela und Andreas Wednesday, September 15, 2004 -- 00:09:44 (EDT) Name: katharine duderstadt -- Email: duderstadt@sbcglobal.net Location: san antonio, tx Marina is Mother Goose (the lead) in a wonderful musical being put on by the second grade called "Lemonade" by John Jacobsen. The moral is "If life gives you lemons....make lemonade!." I mentioned the idea of hosting an Alex's Lemonade Stand and the school is very enthusiastic. It's a bit like wildfire and suddenly I'm in charge. Wish me luck... The school is K-5 and has about 8 classes of 20 student per grade (rather large). The latest thought is to skip the lemonade for the sake of the cleaning staff and just go for the fundraising and children's involvement. Perhaps paper lemons and such with the kids writing notes along with their donations during the week before the play? Any easy quick ideas would be greatly appreciated. The play is on October 5th Thanks Kathy I think of Simon daily and the memories of Simon and of the memorial service give some sweetness to the some of the daily sour moments life brings. May we all have a sweet year... Tuesday, September 14, 2004 -- 16:44:04 (EDT) Name: Anne, Tom, and JOhannes -- Email: doyleyad@stolaf.edu Location: Northfield/South Bend, MN/IN When we light candles for dinner, we've been lighting one for Simon, to brighten his path; Johannes reminds us when we don't! (I-uh eh eh--Simons Kerze). Thank you, Mary, for continuing to keep us updated on your lives. I second Gary's ideas. I've been thinking that your thoughts and your journey would be so helpful to so many people (as they have been for all of us). xoxox anne Tuesday, September 14, 2004 -- 00:11:24 (EDT) Name: Mary Craig -- Email: mfcraig@umich.edu Location: Salt Lake City, UT United States While we are remembering Simon's sweet hands on that cup, and on all the drums and whistles and gongs, let us also remember his fierce competitiveness for the seat at the head of the snack table! I've forgotten now who his closest rival was. I just remember he often succeeded in being the first one to dash to the chair, and I felt a mix of pride and embarrassment. I also remember all the times he didn't want to walk around in the circle for "Bim, bum." And I credit you with teaching me to say, OK, then let's not participate, until you're ready, rather than succumbing to his requests to be carried. Such good lessons. And now I am remembering a few times spent reading fun books while he sat on your basement toilet during early days of potty-going. I hope your new families absorb the lessons as we did. And people wonder where we learned our parenting skills... --Mary Monday, September 13, 2004 -- 19:30:58 (EDT) Name: Gari Stein Monday, September 13, 2004 -- 17:17:56 (EDT) Name: Keri A -- Email: keria23@hotmail.com Location: SLC, Ut I don't always express myself as well as I would like. But it is important for me to try. I imagine that the toughest times are yet to come, as the reality of Simon's passing really sets in. The memorial service is over, family has gone home, and life must go on. This will be an intense year for you and your family. I am so thrilled to hear that you are throwing yourself in your music and taking time just for you, Marcus, and Miriam to absorb life. You really are an incredible woman with incredible strength, but even so, you don't have to be strong ALL of the time... I hope you have room to grieve and even show your grief to others at times. For what it is worth (coming from an outsider who cannot completely understand at the personal level you do what it means to lose a child), I just want you to know that I care about you and your family, and what you have gone through, what you are still going through. These are my thoughts for today, and I send them with my love. Monday, September 13, 2004 -- 16:49:56 (EDT) Name: Mary Craig -- Email: mfcraig@umich.edu Location: Salt Lake City, UT United States Elizabeth was also the source of soprano Carol Ann Allred, who sang Simon's favorite lullaby so beautifully at our memorial service. Carol and Elizabeth met at Eastman. I have known for a while that music will be part of my process of moving forward and healing. We shall see where it all leads. --Mary Monday, September 13, 2004 -- 14:22:59 (EDT) Name: Jacqui Shambaugh -- Email: jacquelyn.shambaugh@watsonwyatt.com Location: Oakton, VA My sentiments echo Katrina's... I think of you every day and continually admire your ability to do what you must to care for your family and honor Simon's memory. You're a constant inspiration. Much love, Jacqui Sunday, September 12, 2004 -- 20:56:18 (EDT) Name: Connie Lippert -- Email: conlippert99@yahoo.com Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan USA Much love to you and Miriam and Markus. We continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers and remember Simon when we see blue skies and cool sunny mornings. We are enjoying your writings too, Mary very much. I think of you and your quiet courage and strength. Then my own troubles don't seem so heavy. Your Friends, Bob and Connie Lippert Sunday, September 12, 2004 -- 17:40:24 (EDT) Name: Katrina Zook -- Email: kzook@uwyo.edu Location: Laramie, WY I continue to marvel at your strength and fortitude. I am so drawn to your beautiful writing. As painful as it is to read and try to comprehend what you and your family are going through, it gives me comfort to know your thought processes and activities. Thank you for sharing your gifts. I think about the three of you constantly and I have to trust that Simon's spirit is free and at peace. I find myself reading what you've written and quietly repeating, "Oh, Mary" through my tears. Simon certainly felt your intense love during his life and and surely continues to feel it. All the best my dear friend, as you and Markus and Miriam step into each new day. Much love and admiration, Katrina Friday, September 10, 2004 -- 05:26:44 (EDT) Name: Gertraud Brandenburg -- Email: gerbran@aon.at Location: Linz, Austria Although I never knew your son personally I followed the history of his illness with great compassion and felt awfully sad when I learned about his death. May I offer you my deeply-felt sympathy - having 2 grandchildren of my own (one of them a Simon, born May 17th,2004)I can imagine what the loss must mean to you, especially after such a long time of struggle against the disease. Yours sincerely, Gertraud Brandenburg Thursday, September 09, 2004 -- 20:45:22 (EDT) Name: katharine duderstadt Location: san antonio, tx Thank you, Mary, for sending a message of how you are doing. It means a great deal. I have been checking the site quite a bit. Simon was a great kid and it is very difficult that he is gone. You should feel free to write more on the site or not to write more. We all have our own personal grief for the loss of Simon. I would value your writings. You write so beautifully...and express yourself so willingly. If hope that others will continue to visit the site in the spirit of Simon. Must Go. Kathy Thursday, September 09, 2004 -- 02:27:57 (EDT) Name: Mary Craig -- Email: mfcraig@umich.edu Location: Salt Lake City, UT United States I remember meeting you and your son, and I think I recall that you live near Liberty Heights Fresh. I tried to email you back with the address provided in your message, but my mail bounced. Can you try again to be in touch?--Mary Wednesday, September 08, 2004 -- 18:14:03 (EDT) Name: Nancy Schmaus -- Email: Tianshan@Kredits.net Location: Salt Lake City, UT USA We only met briefly a couple of months ago at PCMC in front of the pharmacy. We exchanged telephone numbers with all intentions of getting together. We live so closely to one another, and our kids both had brain tumors. As you know, taking care of a child with a brain tumor requires so much time. Somehow, neither of us got around to telephoning. You and Simon often came to mind in these intervening months, and then my husband told me about the article in the SLC Tribune. I was so shocked and saddened, and shed many tears for your loss. Your website is so beautiful and shows the loving and supportive parents (and friends) that Simon had throughout his illness. Please know that you are in our thoughts. I have attached some links to various grief websites. Maybe they will be of assistance to you and your family as you deal with Simon's passing.

Thursday, September 02, 2004 -- 13:42:28 (EDT) Name: Kathy Duderstadt -- Email: duderstadt@sbcglobal.net Location: san antonio, tx Tear Soup -- A Recipe for Healing after Loss by Pat Schwiebert and ChuckDeKlyen with illustrations by Taylor Bills It not only helped me put my own grief over the loss of Simon into context but also has given me a basis with which to interact with the grief of Mary, Markus, Miriam, and other family members and friends close to Simon. I find that I can easily project my own feelings onto others and my hope is that the lessons from this book will help me refrain from doing so. Kathy (I would welcome any other reading suggestions. Mary set out a whole pile of books at the memorial. I wish I had written down the titles).

Ich wollte euch mein Beileid aussprechen und euch viel Kraft wünschen diese schwere Zeit zu überstehen.Ich bin in Gedanken bei euch.Wenn ich etwas für euch tun kann so lasst es mich wissen.

I shall not attempt to explain how. Instead, I shall wish for you, Markus, Miriam and all of your extended family, an ongoing celebration of his life--which, your "Reflections" suggest to me, shall be Simon's immortality. Wednesday, September 01, 2004 -- 22:22:46 (EDT) Name: Kris Location: Clinton, NY I had the privilege of singing at a wedding on Saturday. The bride was a church friend and former preschool teacher and babysitter for our kids. I thought of that ceremony as being parallel to Simon's in that it, too, was a celebration of life and love.... The only trouble was that the various emotions of both seeing our friend get married and thinking of Simon kind of got tangled up together and made it a little tough to get through Dan Fogelberg's "Longer," especially once I learned from the organist that Fogelberg himself is battling cancer at present.... I'm afraid my conservatory training wasn't very evident that day, but I'm hoping people at least got the message that I was "singing from the heart." (My tears surely provided the first clue! ;-) I was indeed thinking of all of you that day, as were so many, many people both within and without Salt Lake City. Love, Kris Wednesday, September 01, 2004 -- 21:41:04 (EDT) Name: Eileen Drayer -- Email: dray@penn.com Location: Reynoldsville, PA USA What a wonderful testament to the greatness of a mother's love - I cannot tell you how the much the words made me feel like I knew Simon!
