Dane and I are so sorry to hear about Monica. She was such a sweet, wonderful person. I remember after meeting her when I moved down and didnt know a soul, and she was so thoughtful and always invited me to do things and go in service with her. I loved her laugh, it always put a smile on my face! We will miss her very much, we love you and hope to see you soon. Thank goodness for Jehovah and the promises he will fulfill in the new world. Take care

I did not know Monica very well but had met her recently in the past few months. I had the chance of hanging out with her and had a blast when I did. She seemed to be sincerely kind and was a pleasure to be around. While this world is full of bad things Jehovah God provides hope...knowing what that hope is well, nobody can ever take that knowledge or hope away. The hope of the new world is something all of us look forward to...my deepest condolences.
