Deepest condolences my friend to your beautiful girls and family. Forever in my heart! Until we meet again sleep in perfect peace
Monica, my beautiful best friend, my heart aches knowing you’re no longer here. You were my rock, my laughter on the hardest days, and the kind of friend who made life brighter just by being in it. The memories we shared—the deep talks, the uncontrollable laughter, the moments that only we understood—will forever be a part of me. Losing you has left a hole that can never be filled, but I find comfort in knowing your love, kindness, and spirit will always live on in my heart. I miss you more than words can ever say, and I will cherish you always. My condolences to the family you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
My prayers for you Rosalie. May God give you strength during this time. Sending hugs and love.
My prayers and deepest condolences to the entire family.
Prayers to the family, she was an amazing soul and will forever be missed.
Beautiful words for a beautiful human being. I feel those words embodied Monica so well. She was the sweetest person I had ever met. Sending prayers to your daughters and family.
Monica had the most beautiful smile. We saw each other once or twice a year. She always greated me with a welcoming big hug. Talking to her for five minutes brought out a story or sharing something about her girls. My condolences to all her family and those who were lucky enough to know her!!
My deepest condolences and prayers to the entire family.
