Ernest, my prayer goes out to you and your entire family in a time of sorrow. Some day are going to be harder than other, but pray and trust in the Lord and he will bring you through it . You must remember all the good time and years that you spent together. I also lost a very good and dear friend too, she was like a sister to me and I will always remember all the good times we had together. I could not have found a better friend than that, she was a very, very loving person and she really loved her family and most of all her grandkids. Ernest, you have my sympathy and prayers. Rest in peace, Monica.

It is always sad to hear of the passing of a loved one. Monica's family and friends have truly been blessed to have had her in their lives. She had that unforgettable smile the last time I saw her. That's what I will always remember. "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, loves leaves a memory no one can steal".
