As Simon’s big sister, I had the privilege of a constant companion,
confidante and co-conspirator; a bond that stretched from our
beginnings and endured despite the inevitable divergence of our paths
into separate senior schools and then adulthood.
I have countless anecdotes arising from the grazed knees of our
formative years and our shared love of music, film, absurdist comedy
and satire that will make no sense at all to anyone else, which I must
now reluctantly archive into past tense but will always treasure.
It is evident from Simon’s Memorial Page just how many people were
enriched by knowing him and I feel so proud of his charitable legacy
fund, which is being collected to benefit the superb medics that treated
him over many years at Bart’s hospital. The Tributes there are
heart-warming and make me look forward to sharing more stories
whenever a traditional Memorial Event with real people becomes
possible. But for today, this remote message of love and shared loss
must suffice. Whilst I wish it hadn’t come so soon, Simon has surely
earned his rest. How we will miss him.
