Post by Doreen Peri »

Sadly, my sister Denise Simons-Morton, passed away this morning at about 8am after a long, brave, battle with Parkinson’s. She will be missed and forever admired by many. 💔

Doreen, I'm really sorry for your loss... Especially after other recent events regarding Judih and Gadi.
You have my deepest sympathy...Parkinson's has taken many kind folks. My Dad had parkinson's.

So sorry, Doreen. I sincerely hope you have family (blood or otherwise) to share the weight of the loss. And that you can soon find peace.

She was one of the closest friends I’ve ever had. Compassionate. Generous. Funny. Witty. A joy to do a variety of things with and go places with. We had many common interests.

I started missing her over 2 years ago when Parkinson’s began stealing her away. It is an ugly, cruel disease. She bravely fought it during the late stages (diagnosed 13 years ago, the last two years were quite difficult).

I’ll miss her forever— though I know she will be with me in my heart.

As difficult as this is, I’m glad she is no longer suffering. Parkinson’s is literally hell.

Thank you Steve W. and Jack, Steve P. and Sasha.

I confirm, it's hard to lose a friend. I miss my mom so much. At times it seems we have so few friends, yet possibility is always out there.

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm slow on the uptake to post my sympathy. I was out of town part of February for a family reunion.
Sadly, that was the last time I saw one younger brother, Bob, alive. We went to his funeral the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
I imagine grief comes in waves like it does with me. When you grow up with a sibling, part of them is always with you.
I really enjoy posting on this site and you are a wonderful administrator. I am also heartsick for Judih and Gadi and their family.
My prayers are present for you and all others who suffered loss during this past year.
