My deepest regrets sent to the Guthrie family. I remember Monica as a nice person, her smile in the picture was the first that come to mind when I saw her name in the obits. Please know our family is thinking of you at this time. Julie ( Martinson)

We are very sorry to hear about your Mom. I always liked Monica and would always say hello to me when I was out and about in Aledo. She seemed to be a little bit of a spitfire which was what I liked about her. Many prayers and sympathies during this tough time.
