Hi Mona. It is going to be 12 yrs since you passed and I still miss you so very much and so often say I wish Mona was here. So much has happened, but yesterday something so painful happened. Danny was in an accident and died and I am just praying that you were with him when he was going through the white light. I never thought I would be in this situation losing a son. I am trying so hard to be strong Mona but this is harder than anything I have gone through yet. Since I was not able to see him too and hug and kiss him, please when you see him hug him tight for me. I love you, Mona.

Dear Mona,
I don't have to tell you how much you are missed because I tell you that every night. Today is two years since I have been able to hold your hand or touch your face or tell you how much I love you. I miss the years we spent together and as the days go by I miss you more and more. They say it gets easier no Mona, not easier we just learn to accept what is not possible anymore. Every night when I look up at the stars you know I think of you. Love you Mona, always have and always will. Love and Kisses to you from me your sister Kathleen. XO

Dear Mona,
It is Thanksgiving and just wanted to let you know that there is not a day that Roy and I dont talk about how much you are missed. I will be thinking about all of the Thanksgiving's you and I shared together and what fun we used to have together on the holidays. They have not and will not ever be the same without you. I miss you so much. I know that you are up there looking down on all of us and that makes me happy. I Love You and Miss You Very Much Mona. Happy Thanksgiving in Heaven. Love. Kathleen

Dear Mona,
There has not been a day that has gone by for the last year that I have not though about you. To say I miss you is an understatement. My heart still aches with the loss and a part of me is still missing. Nothing has not and will never again be the same without you. It has rained all day and knowing how you felt about rain has made me think even more about you and how the angels must be celebrating you being with them for a year,they are so very lucky to have you up there with them. I know that you are watching over us and know everything that is happening and will make sure everything turns out OK. I love you and miss you pit-a-patering around here so much Mona. Happy Anniversary in Heaven and hope you are sleeping peacefully in his hands every night. XO Kathleen

Dear Aunt Mona,
I cannot believe that it is one year that you are in heaven. You are missed so much. I think of you constantly and wish more than anything that you were here. I wish i could call you and you say, i have to go maureen i am on the computer.... I sure hope you are making lots of money up there gambling. I hate driving down your block and know that i cant pull into your complex and see you. The only thing i can imagine is that you were so needed in heaven. You were so good to everyone here and did so many good things with your life. You should be so proud. Lord knows you were the best aunt anyone could ask for. I just want to tell you thankyou for having been YOU and for all the wonderful ways you filled my life. I am very lucky to have had the years i did with you, although i wasn't nearly ready to say goodbye to you. Life is not the same without you. I miss you dearly. Love you forever.

thank you so much for getting us safe to fl. it gave me peace knowing you were watching over us. i know it was you, i prayed all day that we would get there safe and my health would hold out. you were, as always in my thoughts. your birthday had just past and we were going on vacation. this year without you. as shaun drove and erin slept i had the pains again and was praying id be ok. the first sign i wasnt sure, but once i got the 2nd i knew id be ok and it was you watching over us. i called mom to tell her about it and she felt it wasyou too. florida was nice but we missed you. even brian brought you up, what a nice, fun person you were. we all miss you so much. i know you are in a better place but that doesnt make it easier on us left here. till we can laugh together again. i love you and miss you everyday.

Mona,
Today was your Birthday and it sucked that you were not here for it. I cannot stop thinking about you and I am wondering why I have not dreamt of you yet, why you have not come to me in some way or another. Mona if you can see me day after day I don't have to tell you how much I miss you. There isn't a day when for one reason or another I don't think about you, the worst thing in this world for me is to pass that cemetary and know that you are laying there and I cannot get near it. I no you are in heaven, I have to believe there is one and that one day I will be with you again and we will celebrate your birthday once again together. I love you Mona and miss you more and more every day, especially when we would go out together and just sit somewhere and have a good talk and a good cry. I do a lot of that now by myself. The holiday's were awful this year for all of us, they will never be the same again without you. To say that we all missed you would be an understatement. It actually hurt to have to get thru them. You were thought about alot that day and everyday since. Mona, I love you and hope that there was a huge celebration up there for you today. Until we meet again. XO, Kathleen

Happy Birthday Monica! I've been thinking of you day long, how last year, I think I called you twice on your birthday b/c I wanted to make sure I did and didn't forget, I may have even woken you up...but I'm glad I did! I had a terrible feeling it may be the last birthday I had the chance to talk to you on..and unfortunately, I was right. I miss you every day, think of you all of the time and miss you terribly personally and at work. We all miss you. I hope your first birthday in Heaven is the best birthday you ever had!!!! Love you always...Kerry & Joey

Mona,
Today was a strange day going down to Long Island and you not being with me or to go to stay with you. I stopped by before I left to tell you how sad that I was leaving to go down there and you not being with me. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining right on you. I know that you are at peace and that is the only thing that will keep me going. Mona, there are no words to describe how much I miss you, and everything about you. You had so much knowledge that you will never again be able to share with me and that is my loss. So much has happened since you left and there is no one I want to talk with about it more than you. I Love You More! Kathleen

Hello to all of Mona's friends.
I just want to say how much it means to me that you have taken the time to read and sign her book. I always knew she was a wonderful nurse and wanted nothing more than to do the best she could by her patients. It has given me so much comfort to be able to read what each and everyone of you have written about her and how much she meant to you. My tears will not stop falling for her even thought I know she is in a better place and not suffering any more, and is where she wanted to be. I hope to be able to see some of you soon. Kathleen Bowers

Mona,
It is a month today that we lost you and it just does not seem real to me yet. Today was the first day I went into your closet and it was not easy looking at your things and now I have to try and figure out what to do with them. Mona more than anything I wish you could be here with us right now, just eating with us or playing cards or just watching a movie together, all the things that you enjoyed doing with us and we with you. The day has not gone by without much talk about you Mona and how much you are missed. John and Meghan are staying with us for awhile and I don't have to tell you how much they wish you were here.
It was a beautiful day today Mona and tomorrow I will be by to visit with you. Love you More! Kahtleen

Monica,
You were a shiny bright light to the children you cared for here and to the staff that had the privilege of knowing and working with you. The many lives you touched are forever changed. Just knowing you and working as a nurse with you was like having the hand of God at my back. I will always remember you.
Kathleen

Mona,
I thought as time went by it would get easier missing you, but it hasn't.
Last week was horrible, just could not do anything but think about you and cry all the time. Roy tried to make me feel better but nothing would have helped except having you back with us again. It is such a horrible feeling not having you to talk with or do something with. Went out with the girls as we had planned to do together and it was just not the same without you, and all I could think was that you had wanted to be with us for that nite out. Needless to say I was not good company. I have no desire to go thru your things yet so it will just have to wait. Mona missing you is the hardest thing I have ever been thru so far in my life, it is a heartbreak everyday just knowing that you are not here with me anymore, Love you more~ and miss you evenry minute of every day, Kathleen

Monica, since the first day we meet you always called me Nancy even though my name is Janey. I learned over the years to just answer to Nancy. We all knew what a wonderful nurse you were but, we all have the memories of how lovingly you spoke of your family, especially your nieces and nephews. That will be something I will always remember and hope that they knew how much you loved them. God Bless you and keep you in the palm of His hand now and always.

Monica, It was a long time ago that we worked together and even then passing each other in shifts and on units. But, as you did everyone, you left an impression on me and I always remember your caring and laughter. You left a smile on everyone's face always. Thank you for being you! You will be missed by every life you touched.

We are companions of the soul,
Two friends so different in many ways, yet traveling the same path, searching for the same things, asking the same questions and finding a a beautiful part of the answer in the closeness we share with each other. Im so glad to have shared this journey with a true friend like you. Monica the card you sent me said it all. You truely are a wonderful person. It was my privledge to have worked with you at Stonybrook University Hospital and a gift from God to have become your friend. You are truely one of the most caring, compasionate and loving nurses I have had the privledge to work with during my nursing career. You taught me that "Kindness is Power" . The memories that I have of your many stories will be with me forever.
Love, Andrea

Mona,
Yesterday I got a note from the eye bank, I was so overwhelmed when I read it, because of you there are two more people in the world who can now see again. It was such a beautiful note that all I could do was cry with joy. I knew in my heart that this is what you would want because that is all you did all your life was give of yourself. I will being going to see you in a little while and again I will put a rock on your grave. I miss you everyday Mona just wishing you were still here with us. Love you More~ Kathleen

Monica, You knew my brothers before me from St. John's Hospital. I met you when I came to StonyBrook years ago. You told me I only need to sit in the sun for 15 minutes around noon to get some color and every day since, when I do that I think of you and always will. Sometimes I am early and I wait...but I always think of you. I know you are in a better place.

Dear Mona,
Not a nice day today, cloudy and raining this morning, however had to go shopping to get some things and stopped by to see you and when I was there the sun came out. You must have had something to do with it. It is so peaceful there I love to visit with you, and you know it dont make any difference what time of the day or night it is, plus I can even run over in my PJ's. It is so comforting to me to know that you are just 4 min away just the way you wanted it so I could go whenever I needed to. I miss you so much Mona everything I do I think of you, or picture you sitting somewhere or just in your room. Wednesday's are a hard day for me, I lost you last wednesday and the wednesday before was the last time you joined Roy and me for dinner. I stopped by Marg's today and John and Mackenzie were talking about you. Meghan was staying overnite at Denise and Dan's but those kids will never forget you Mona. They had a million question about where you are now and what you would be doing. So you know what I told them. Mona, you know I miss you but you will always be in my heart, I miss you coming in now to give me a kiss good nite, or me going to you. Love you More! Kathleen

Moe...You were the best, friends are sent to earth to make good days and to help us find our way, and now you can rest in heaven. My best cruise buddy at Disney, walking Key West, glad we stayed on the east coast. I had the best time... You, me and Marie laughing and dancing at Lisa's wedding. Counting the "precious moments", labeling the dvd's.....listening to stories, stories,and more stories. Picking up pennies, nickels, and even some dimes. Yes, Monica, tears are still falling, but I always loved being with you, thanks for being my friend. Marjorie

Monica, Although I only worked with you for a short time I will never forget all the stories, laughs and life lessons you shared with me. That along with the pranks Kathleen loved to play on you made for some memorable times. You were one of the most generous most loving people i knew. I know you are in peace now, please look down every now and then and help your friends and family along the way to happiness and good health.

Monica,
I will forever cherish and value all that you have taught me from the very beginning of my nursing career. Working side by side with you as clinicians were some of the best years of my personal and professional life. Trying to teach you how to use a computer produced some of the funniest and greatest memories I have. Your love and appreciation for family and friends is what I will remember most about you and I can only hope to be as good of a person as you were.

Mona,
Roy and I went to the Timeless for dinner which you would never come to with us on a Wed nite, you said it was date nite for us to be alone. We were much more alone tonite because we used to come home to you and watch a movie together, so we did not do that tonite. What started out to be a very lazy day turned into a rather nice one. After dinner went to see you and the sun was just setting and omg Mona just sitting there talking with you and the beauty that was surrounding us was just way to much. I wish of course, you were sitting there with me, but what keeps me going when I am there is knowing just how beautiful your surrounding are right now. Got the call from Marg today and Thank God it is not cancer, you know what that would have done to us, she has something so tomorrow she has to go for a MRI, so Mona you keep being her angel and make sure she is safe. All the kids miss you and want to go and visit. I was just at Denise and Dan's and Trey kept asking when they can go, so it will be some time next week since they are busy for Alex's granduation. We will all be together on Saturday and talk about how much you are missed, and tell stories about you. You might not be here in person, but will always be in our hearts. Love you More! Kathleen

working with Monica was amazing. One day, I was taking care of a child who passed away and Monica was consoling me. I asked Monica why people pass away, especially children and she told me that people pass away because they live life and when they die it just means that God is ready for them to live with him. So I am confident that this is Monica's time to live with God. I am sure she is watching us all and with all the children up in hevan today having a wonderful time. I will miss her. I will pray for her family and friends who will miss her here on earth.

Mona, I too like the rest of the nurses in your guest book will never forget the great times we had together. You are such an example of kindness that I will always try to live up to. I can remember during my pregnancy how you would make predictions by all the Mona rules you would use. When we shared an office, you always had a way that cheered up the tightest of spaces. On the floor, you would be there for each and every patient, never rushing even if it meant staying hours into the day shift. You are a woman of quality that is rarely seen and your spirituality is pure. Although I think it selfish of God to have taken you in what should have been your Golden Years, he must have a reason in his grand plan. Maybe he just needed you more there than we did here. You will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts. Thank you for touching my life.
Kathleen Bowers

Mona,
Today is a beautiful day the only thing missing is you to make it complete. Right now we would be sitting out on the porch listening to the birds chirping and talking about what we were going to do in the next few days. Mona, how true that God gets you thru what you need to do, because today I feel like a zombie, couldn't do anything if I had to. Every time I come into the office I miss seeing you and hearing you from your room. The deer were in the backyard again and all I can think every time one is here now that you are in a garden surrounded with them and all of God's creatures, how beautiful it must be Mona. I will see you later and put another rock on your grave to let you know that I was there. Love you More! Kathleen

You wil be missed so much Mona. You have been a wonderful friend to my family and I. You may have only been in our life for a few years but it seems like forever. Your stories and laughter still ring in my ears. I cant believe your really gone, doesnt seem possible. The time we spent on vacation in florida was the best. we had so much fun and alot of laughs. I always loved cooking for you because you always said it was the best you had ever had. Even if it didnt turn out so good. I couldnt love you more Mona if we were related. You have been so generous and kind to us. We will never forget you. Till we meet again.....friend.

Good morning Mona,
It is so hard for me to comprehend what has taken place in the last week. What is going to help me get thru this is knowing that you are where you wanted to be and how serene it is with the mountains surrounding you. At this time last week you were still talking to me and asked me if Mom was going to be the one meeting you and I said yes and that it would be alright to go to her. I told you that I could never no way no how ever be a nurse and you knew that was my biggest concern when you came to live with us in Sept, but you did it Mona you gave me the strength and no how to achieve that and take as good as care of you as I could and how proud you were that I was able to. How many times you said Kathleen and you said you could never be a nurse. Mona only the Lord above knows what you and I meant to one another and that I would have done anything in the world for you and you for me.I am sitting here crying, I miss hearing one of those old movie blasting from the next room with you telling me all about it. I no you are with me and got me thru the weekend, and I no that you were watching over me and saw just how beautiful the mass was and the generousity of my friends and neighbors to help me thru this. Mona how often you said Kathleen I am praying that God will not take both me and Roy at the same time, Mona you keep praying for him and me that we get some more quality time together. He is missing you very much especially coming out now and reading the paper to him all over again after he has already read it. He is missing the talks you and him had every morning, and know that everytime we look at a can of coke we are thinking of you. We wish you were sitting here with us right now on the porch in Paradise but we also know that you are sitting on your own porch in your own Paradise. I love you more!

You are so missed by so many. You have touched so many people. We are all better people for having known you. You were an Angel here on earth, luckily for us all. Monica you will always be in my thoughts and prayers and forever in my heart. Thank you so much for all the laughs and the many good times. Your wisdom and ability to care for others will never be forgotten. You gave me strength, love and understanding at some of the worst times of my life. I hope you know how much you meant to me and to so many countless others. I love you Monica. Thank you so much for everything.

When I first started working on 11N Monica and I worked opposite shifts. We exchanged occasional "Hellos" in passing. Somehow Monica found out my "story", I was a single Mother working to spport my son. One morning, a few weeks before Christmas, Monica pulled me aside and said she had something for me. She took my hand and placed money in it and said "Please make sure your son has plenty of gifts under the tree." That one moment I feel best represents Monica for who she was. She gave to people without ever expecting anything in return and without passing judgement. She showed others how simple it is to just be kind. She had a giant heart and shared it with us all. Monica, I am a better person for having known you. Thank you for your love and kindness.

Monica was a great inspiration to my future wife Kerry, not only in nursing but in life. Monica liked to bust my chops for taking so long to ask Kerry to marry me. It is sad that we will not be able to share our day with her but she will forever be in our hearts!!!

The last time I saw Monica she had gotten her eyes checked, was done with work and on her way to someting she enjoyed. She had a sparkle in her eye and was quite happy. I will remember her this way. We were blessed by her years of hard work caring for our pediatric patients!

Monica,
I will always remember you as one of my greatest supporters when I came to Pediatrics. It made a big difference during a difficult transition for me. But your greatest quality was your skill as a caring, competent nurse. You were a great role model to the "younger generation" who, despite what you may have thought, heard all your pearls of wisdom and were better off for it. You always strived for the best for your patients. I know you are finally at rest now and ask that you look over and pray for us and for the children and families we care for. We miss you but rejoice that you have found your final peace.

Monica, a better friend and collegue one could not ask for. You taught me commitment, empathy and spirituality but mostly you taught me how great good friendship could be. You will always be in my heart, my spirit and my prayers, and I will be one of the "10 people you meet in heaven" (as you always said)

Monica always looked out for the other people around her. She prayed for them and always made sure they were alright. In my case she prayed for me when I had cancer, made sure I wore a medal and that I would not take it off as it would protect me. Well it did. thank you Monica. God made you special and those of us who knew you and worked with you knew it.

Mona, I have learned so much from you throughout the years. I remember floating to nights as a new nurse on Pediatrics, and you were there for me at all times. I learned how to find just the right IV, and to always say a prayer before trying to get it. You told amazing stories that kept us all laughing. You loved children and touched them in ways that you can only imagine. Mona, you will always be remembered at Stony Brook as a wonderful Pediatric Nurse and friend to all of those that you have touched throughout your lifetime. As I continue my career in nursing I will take all that I have learned from you, and know that you will always be with us.

Monica, I feel proud to have known you. You LOVED your family soooo much. I know you are finally with your mom who you missed everyday since she went to heaven. There is not enough room to share the wonderful stories we have shared, but I will always remember you and the memories we made together. I will also make others laugh by retelling your life experiences. I miss you my friend, Nancy

Monica, I met you while working on nights. Though I worked for the OB service, you extended yourself beyond your practice and expertise. You had and gave the gift of love and laughter. May you continue to shine your love and laughter on us all. God Bless You. Thank you Sr. Monica.
