Dear Nancy, Noah, Jackson & Madison,
My sincere sympathy for your loss. You all have been in my thoughts and prayers since I first heard of Kedron's illness. It's hard to understand why she's not here. Perhaps God needed a beautiful, special angel with Him and He called Kedron. I believe as you remember
Kedron, she is with you, watching, loving, guiding, protecting her family even from Heaven. Kedron was a special friend to everyone whether she just met or she knew them for a long time. That was her gift and no one gave it better. Her loving, fun, happy spirit drew people to her and she was a delight to be with. Nancy, my family and I have fond memories of you and Kedron. Noah, Jackson, Madison, your wife, your mother was wonderful. As a young lady, she strived for the best. No doubt Kedron was very loving and proud that you belonged to her and you were her best gifts and rewards. My continued prayers for all your family.
Sincerely,
Wanda Guesnon

So many of us who got to know Kedron recently think of her as an incredibly strong, devoted, funny and savvy pillar and also as an angel on earth who touched the lives of so many people over a short period of time. We are grateful for the chance to know her and to be inspired by her. Noah, may you and all of your family feel the support and love from your many friends.
January 10, 2014
Kedron's life is powerful example of how much good - how much positive impact - a person can make on the lives of others. Eyes wide open (figuratively and literally!) and a "doer of deeds", her passion and energy were infectious. She will be greatly missed, and we are deeply saddened by her passing. Our hearts and prayers go out to you Noah, Jackson, Madison, and the rest of the family.
Sincerely,
The Woodcocks - Rana, Scott, Miles, Eva, and Ella

Thinking of you Noah and your entire family. Words cannot express how much we loved Kedron. We loved her visits with her McDonald family here in Oregon. She was so much fun to be with. We are all so proud of her and proud to have her been a part of our family. She will always be missed.

Kedron was an amazing lady, colleague and friend. I had the wonderful pleasure of working with her for a few years. Kedron taught me so very much about all of the things that really matter. She was successful, accomplished and driven. However, she treasured her family and friends the most. She rarely spoke of her achievements.... Instead she was always focused on Noah, her sweet children and her wonderful extended family. She valued her friends tremendously. Kedron was always upbeat and willing to take on any challenge. She will be missed. I pray her children will know just how terrific their mother was and the many lives she changed a long the way. We are all better for knowing Kedron.

The first time I ever saw Kedron, she was guest singing in a rock band in Clarendon (Arlington). She was amazing. As I got to know her better, it was clear that she was amazing in every respect. I am so blessed to have gotten to know her in a small way, and I will always remember her effect on those around her. Her wonderful family is a testament to the person she was and is in our minds. Rest in Peace, Kedron.

Kedron was a life-long friend. Through the years, our paths crossed less frequently, but that never mattered because of her ability to instantly connect with anyone. No bio could ever do her justice, because for all of her accomplishments, she humbly turned away from countless other opportunities to do more. Her magic was in her ability to be centered on what mattered most to her and to be so genuine and happy there that no one could possibly begrudge her that. Her passions for making this a better world always placed her family first, and I pray for them all to find comfort and strength in each other as they did with her and for her. I miss you Ked, and I will always cherish your friendship.

My deepest condolences to Kedron's family. I was saddened to hear of her battle with Cancer and even more so to hear of her passing. My heart is so heavy. I have nothing but fond memories of Kedron's from high school...always smiling and full of life. She definitely touched a lot of hearts of her fellow P.C. sisters. <3

I feel as though a little piece of my childhood is gone with your absence from this earth. So many memories and stories to cherish. I'm thankful that you are no longer suffering, but I am saddened for your family, especially your children. I know you will be looking down on all of us regularly from your celestial heights and that gives me (and hopefully others) peace. You were a very special woman and a great friend...you will be deeply missed.

" Kedron Simon Had the smile that could light up all of DAL! She never put herself in a certain category, always had something nice to say, always lent a helping hand, and never turned anyone away if they need to talk, vent or cry. She has a heart of gold. Love and prayers to her family in this time of need!"

I first meet Kedron in 5th grade where her bright smile and bubbly personality caught my attention. Threw all of schools years she never lost either of them, they just became more infectious. Kedron will be missed by all who have had the pleasure of meeting her.

Rebekah Pomeroy
My heart was heavy when I heard the news. Prayers for Noah and the kids to endure this time now and in the future. Kedron was a special woman. I went to high school with her & Kedron was nice to everyone, and she was spunky and sweet and I'll remember her smiling as she was walking with confidence at school wearing her red converse high tops and her hair bouncing as she walked. Kedron's smile would light up a room, her life was too short but I know she touched many in her lifetime, she is beautiful inside and out. Cherish your memories of her.
It's not goodbye... It's see you later.
Love from the Pomeroy's

Kedron Simon I remember you in high school. You had a cheerful disposition and I remember seeing you laughing often. A very determined spirit - not with greed or malice... but striving to be your best. I remember you being kind toward others. That I remember the most. When you been around in the world and you see people of great success and they just don't have the heart or spirit... they usually are ones that take advantage of others. However, that is not the case with you. You and I were never close friends or anything, but I knew you and you left a positive impression on me. I am praying for you that this awful ordeal you are experiencing goes away and pain and discomfort to be gone as well. Much love to you Kedron! Be well in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

I haven't seen Kedron since high school...I regret that now. I remember that smile. You could always pick her out of a crowd on campus. She was always so cheery and friendly to everyone. I wish I had kept in touch now. She was so kind to me in a difficult time for me. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. I can not imagine how difficult this is for them and they know they are thought of. God Bless Kedron...you will be missed!

Kedron remains a brilliant light of inspiration, intelligence, service, and generosity. She received people with open arms and never ceased to find a way when there appeared to be no way. She will be long remembered for her great sense of humor and as the embodiment of love and dedication to those who loved her most.
