I bowled with a bunch of "old bitties" Monita called them but they were a wonderful, fun loving, friendly women I enjoyed for about 10 years. I have always enjoyed the way Monita looked at her life and Charlie was a good fit for her. As one of the first women I knew socially when I moved to Decatur, "I will always smile when I think of her.

I have very fond memories of Monita when I was a child. I loved to sit on the screened in porch. She was a good neighbor and friend to my family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
