Dear Monagle Family, Al and I want to extend our deepest sympathy to all of you at the recent loss of your special Mom. We were privileged to have spent many occasions together , especially swim team events at Graylyn pool. She was a kind , fun loving , classy lady who adored her family. Whenever we were with her she made us feel like part of the family. I know she was adored by all her family and they will forever hold her in their hearts. God bless you all! She was a real treasure!!

I was so very saddened to hear of Alice's passing.
To all of the Schofield and Monagle Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

My wife and I have retired and living in SC or we would both be there to celebrate the life of Alice.
She was one of the happiest people I had the privilege to know and always had a smile for everyone. She loved life and loved having fun, a model for all of us to learn from.

May God bless you all in your time of grief.
We will all miss Alice!

Sincerely,

Sam Boyle

So many, many happy memories with the Monagle family with Mr. & Mrs. Monagle at the helm. Fun, love & laughter abounded. As I was at the house so often, she introduced me as "Donna's friend Mary" a thousand times, & it stuck. It still makes me laugh. She'll live on in my heart as in all of yours. My deepest condolences. ❤

My deepest Sympathy to the Monagle Family. Holy Rosary & Mount Pleasant Memories abound. What a special and lovely creature your Mother was. And, she has passed much of that loveliness to her children. I remember mostly the HR Days seeing your Mom & Dad at mass & the Parish Events.

I pray God brings you his peace in this difficult time and know that many friends keep you close to their hearts.

A more warm, loving, caring, fun person will not pass our way again. Happily, this spirit will live on in her children and grandchildren. I am so fortunate to have been invited to share this family over the years. Love to my friend, daughter Donna, and you all.
