Simon Anderson
The flowers on this quilt are from one of Simon's ties, and the velvet once wrapped the urn containing his ashes.
Listen to the tribute from Simon's friend Kirsten.
Simon touched my heart and made it dance with joy, with life, with love
He lives on in that dancing heart, he always will
