We have known Monika as our apartment owner till 2010. I came across her name on the internet and am very sad to know she passed away. She was a very nice lady. She gave the right advice in the few times we spoke to her. Our thoughts and prayers for the family.

I met Monika in June 2001 at a time I was going through a serious illness and deep emotional trauma. Monika was so kind, compassionate, and professional as she began to address my needs. As I continued to be treated by Monika all these years she became a very dear friend to me and my family. We all were helped by her and loved her dearly.
When Monika became ill and had to go away for treatment we prayed together to our Lord Jesus for God's perfect will and for her healing. Now I consider Monika my sister in the Lord.
I am very happy and grateful to have known Monika for these past ten years.
Sincerely, Christina Haman and family
