<div>*Update-
</div>
<div> In Loving Memory of Annette Janine Simon 
</div>
<div>April 20, 1968 – December 17, 2025
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With broken hearts but faith in Christ, we share that Annette Janine Simon has passed away and returned to her Heavenly Father on December 17, 2025. She fought bravely, endured faithfully, and is now at peace.
</div>
<div>As a family, we trust in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ:
</div>
<div> “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”
</div>
<div>(John 11:25)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> “And death hath no sting, victory is swallowed up in Christ.”
</div>
<div>(Mosiah 16:8)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> “They who die in the Lord shall not taste of death, for it shall be sweet unto them.”
</div>
<div>(Doctrine &amp; Covenants 42:46)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe is to help with funeral and memorial expenses during this very difficult time. Any support—whether through donation, prayer, or sharing—is deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div>Thank you for your love, kindness, and faith.
</div>
<div>We know families are eternal, and we will see Annette again. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Original Post-My name is Marco Antonio "Tony" Simon, and Today I am facing the most painful moment of my life. My beloved wife, Annette Janine Simon, is in her final days after a long and courageous battle with illness. Doctors have told us she only has days left, and I am doing everything I can to care for her, comfort her, and prepare myself for a goodbye I never imagined would come this soon.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Annette is more than my wife- She is my companion, my strength, and the heart of our family. Anyone who knows her will tell you the same; She is kind, humble, and always thinking about others before herself. Even through her suffering, she never complained. She simply loved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many know, I have been by her side every minute. I am her caregiver, and with her condition worsening, it has become extremely difficult to manage both her care and the unexpected financial responsibilities that come with planning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I am asking for help</strong>
</div>
<div>Funeral expenses are overwhelming, and I want to honor Annette with dignity and peace she deserves. Unfortunately, we were not prepared for this moment to come so quickly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many family members and friends, including those in different states and in Germany, have asked how they can help and where they can safely send financial support. This GoFundMe allows everyone -near or far- to contribute in one simple and secure place.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How the funds will be used</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation will go directly toward:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Funeral home services
</li>
<li>Cremation or Burial arrangements
</li>
<li>Casket/Urn/ and memorial
</li>
<li>Cemetery costs
</li>
<li>Transportation &amp; Required fees
</li>
<li>Any remaining medical bills related to her final care
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Everything will be used solely for Annette's farewell and nothing else.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>From the bottom of my heart</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I never imagined having to write these words, and asking for help is not easy for me. But I am doing it for Annette-to give her the peaceful and honorable goodbye she deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To everyone who donates, shares this link, or prays for us: <strong>Thank you</strong>. Your support means more than you will ever know during this heartbreaking time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>With love and gratitude, </strong>
</div>
