To Our Dear Simon,

We sent you on that fateful plane, not knowing that our departure would be the last we would ever see of you. We did not know that you would die in the hands of those smiling around you. The caring, jolly boys would batter your fragile body as we sat at home, drinking our afternoon tea. We did not foresee your end as you may have. You saw deeper than any other that we have known, saw past the shell that covers us all but saw into the soul what it held. We are sorry that we did not also have your ability to read into destiny. But we hope that in your new path you may find peace that cannot be found on the Earth. Our love we send to you even if you do not receive it. Your insight and presence changed everyone around you, if they listened carefully. Your mother, younger brother, and I all know that you greatly affected the lives of many of your fellow classmates on Flight 3161. And even though you will never return to us somehow we will find the strength to go on living, as you would have wanted us to. Again we all loved you and will keep loving you as long as your memory remains.

With Love,

Father, Mum, and your brother
