I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. Whenever, I hear your name, see your picture or remember one of the zillion great memories you supplied, I smile. My heart is so heavy, because you had so much to share. God has you now, but I, and so many others have you in our hearts. My dear sweet Godmother, I will miss you. Please watch over us as you always did in your sweet, caring way. I will never forget your tender voice and your gentle touch of perfection. But mostly, the laughs and good times we shared will keep us going. Enjoy what I am sure are the best greens ever!!! Until we meet again.

Dear Aunt Monica, while our hearts are heavy as you left us way too soon, we can only find comfort knowing how you graced our lives. I'll never forget the good times we shared in Bettendorf and the laughs we had when your kids were little during your time there. I was thrilled to have an aunt nearby. You were like a big sis to me and always ready to lend a shoulder when I went through struggles starting a new career. You were always such a trooper when it came to dealing with pain. The only comfort now is knowing that you are released and free now. May Jesus embrace you as you enter a better life.
