We in the Montreal Jewish community stand with you during this very difficult time. On Monday of this week, more than one-thousand Jews stood shoulder to shoulder with you in our local temple condemning hatred and anti semitism in all forms. L’Chaim!! Buruch Dayan Emet.

Hi Marc, Michelle and Michael. It has been a long time since I was last in Pittsburgh, so I don\\\'t know if you remember me. I am Stanley\\\'s sister. I have been trying to get Marc\\\'s phone number, but with no success. I have been in touch with Cy Reichbaum, your parent\\\'s neighbor. I grew up with Cy. He did not have any of your numbers, but he sent me a copy of the obituary. It had the funeral home name. I called them and they suggested I leave a note here and they would have my contact information. Needless to say I could not believe it when CNN published the names and ages of the victims and I saw Bernice and Sylvan on the list. I was totally shocked. I nknew the family connection to Tree of Life because when Rose (Bubbie Tsippi) married my father Jack, she was a member of Tree of Life. I want to tell you that I can\\\'t believe such wonderful people such as your parents have been killed. This is something totally beyond belief. I want to let you all know that I mourn for them and my heart goes out to you. I can be reached at Jbrunswick@aol.com Hugs and love to you all...Joan

Dear Marc, Michelle, and all Simon family, Words cannot express our horror and sorrow over the tragic passing of your beloved mom and dad, grandma and grandpa. We are grieving with you. We will never forget their gracious kindness, delicious cordial dinners at their warm home, their open hearts, Bernice's scrumptious chocolate cake, Sylvan's no-nonsense sense of humor. This world lost two beautiful souls. We were blessed to have known them. May their memory be eternal!

I live in Toronto, Canada and I felt a responsibility to reach out to the family of of Mr. and Mrs. Simon who died so tragically together last Shabbat. Jews around the world mourn with your family. To loose both parents at one time is something that I cannot comprehend. I hope the memories the family have of this very brave couple help you get through the days to come. I hope knowing that this beautiful couple are still together will ease a small fraction of your pain.
