Family • Memories • A Life Well Lived
A growing family page devoted to Mom — her photographs, letters, journeys, stories, and the people and places that shaped an extraordinary life.
“I have lived it. I am a very lucky lady.” — Simone, from her life story
Private family story
Simone wrote about growing up in wartime London, family, marriage, life in America, Cape Cod, and a lifetime of travel. Her story is preserved here in her own voice and is available only to family and invited readers.
🔒 Read Mom’s Life StoryThis will become a visual album of Simone through the years — childhood, family, London, Cape Cod, travel, celebrations, and everyday moments.
Photos coming next.
A future home for special letters, cards, documents, clippings, and keepsakes mentioned in her story — including pieces saved across many decades.
London, France, Cape Cod, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Greece, the Caribbean and many more places are woven through Simone’s memories. We’ll connect them with maps, photographs, and background links.
As this page grows, major people and historical subjects mentioned in the manuscript can be linked to carefully chosen background pages while Simone’s original story remains untouched.
