My condolences to your family. I knew Simon from Bally’s health club in Illinois. A group of us played racquetball and became friends. I was thinking about him and found this on Facebook.  My heart goes out to your family. He was a great man.....quiet, always the peacemaker when someone didn’t agree, always had a kind word. A true gentleman, always with a smile on his face.  And I will never forget his hearty, contagious laugh! A truly amazing person! RIP Simon!! Your family will be remembered in my thoughts & prayers.

To the Simon Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences for the incredible loss  of Lannec Simon.  Lannec and Chantal always treated me like family and I am eternally grateful for being made to feel so welcome.  It still brings a smile to my face when I think about how he would be amused when I tasted Haitian food or when he spoke to me in Creole.  Although I did not speak French I did my best to understand what he was saying to me and that made him chuckle every time. I am grateful for the good memories and I pray that your good memories will help to heal and strengthen you during this difficult time. God bless you all.  Rest In Peace, Lannec. 💜

Natacha,  we are praying for you and your family in this time of sorrow. 

Love your work family.

My prayers are with your family, I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Chantal & Family,

Laennec was a wonderful friend and co-worker. He was also a kind and honest man. I remember how he and I used to exchange pleasantries during our face to face encounters and by phone. My family and I were shocked by the news of his untimely death. We are genuinely sorry for your loss. May our friendship and prayers ease you through this challenging time.
Courage, Courage, Courage

English:
Two days before his 19th birthday,  the mantle of head of household was thrusted onto Laennec at such a young age.  And just like a real man, Laennec sacrificed his own dreams and did his part to keep the family fed, housed, and protected.  

And for me, specifically, Laennec  was the disciplinarian who kept me on the straight and narrow; a coach who taught me about life; a mentor who I didn't want to disappoint;  and a role model I wanted to mimic.

And while Laennec wasn't my biological father, he was definitely 100% my dad.  I love you Laennec Simon and ALWAYS WILL.   REST IN HEAVEN

French:
Deux jours avant son 19e anniversaire, le rôle de chef de famille a été confié à Laennec à un si jeune âge.  Et tout comme un vrai homme, Laennec a sacrifié ses propres rêves et a fait sa part pour que la famille soit nourrie, logée et protégée.

 Et pour moi, en particulier, Laennec était le disciplinaire qui m'a gardé dans le droit chemin;  un coach qui m'a appris la vie;  un mentor que je ne voulais pas décevoir;  et un modèle que je voulais imiter.

 Et si Laennec n'était pas mon père biologique, il était définitivement mon père à 100%.  Je t'aime Laennec Simon et TOUJOURS LE SERA.  REPOS AU CIEL

For the unyielding friendship, for the shared family vacations for the trust in naming me a godfather, for the brotherhood and the love, may our Lord accept your soul and comfort us all, your loved ones.  

Lead the way to our Father and prepare for us a place. 

Keep smiling, my friend. I will go back a look at all the jokes you sent on WhatsApp and smile once again. Adieu.

 Thank you for your many sacrifices and love ❤️ raising us. Your contributions helped make me who I am today.  Because of you, I’ve gained a greater appreciation of my cultural heritage AND can speak a little Creole too 😉.  I hear you laughing...LOL.  Until we speak again, rest well!  Love you, ChaCha
