I am heartsick and more inspired to bring my best self to this world as Simone modeled for so many of us. I am thinking of you Tom.

Sad at the loss of a dear friend, colleague and one of the most amazing, inspiring, powerful forces of nature that I have ever come acrosss . I loved her frankness and frequent use of Anglo-Saxon to fully express her never held back opinions.

To honor Simone's incredible contribution to eh world of philanthropy.

This gift is in honor of a great mentor and colleague. Simone's impact on the practice of development will be felt forever.

Such a force of nature for social justice......and a treasured friend and colleague! Gary Kelsey

She truly changed the world for so many.

Truly, one of a kind. An extraordinary women whose passion for good works by nonprofits was exceeded by only a very few. RIP, Simone.

Tom, Yesterday morning, I happened to find a photo of you and Simone at Marcia's party. Simone was wearing her mother's dress - off the shoulder, black with a full skirt. She is in your arms, dancing, both smiling. I will remember her that way. Daria

Thank you Simone for sharing yourself so generously and brilliantly.

Tom, I will always remember Sim One fondly... hugs. Erica
