Condolence From: Lynette Chubb
Condolence: Dear Linda,
I'm so sad that I could not have been a better friend and support to you and Simon over these last couple of difficult years as he lived with the harsh reality of his cancer. I loved and admired his pragmatic fortitude. I aspire to accept my own end with such peaceful grace and dignity.
Simon is one of the sweetest guys I've ever known, so gentle, honest and generous. I am honoured to have shared even a tiny part of my artist's existence as his co-exhibitor, friend, model and colleague. I am so honoured to feel that a little bit of our lives will live forever in his paintings. I am so proud to have a couple of them to pass on to my sons.
He lives on - in spirit - in his beautiful canvases - and in the few of us whose hearts he touched forever.
My heart goes out to you Linda.
Love, Lynette

Condolence: Dear Linda,
I was so sorry to hear the sad news of Simon's passing. He was a very special person and a remarkable artist. I have wonderful memories of our times together when we were all founding the Russell Artist Group so many years ago. And of course I am reminded constantly of Simon because of his beautiful painting which we bought many years ago.
This is a very sad time for you and the family Linda, but the memories of your wonderful years together will I know comfort you until you meet again.
God Bless
Sincerely
Shirley VanDusen
