Mona Monica O'Donnell Lestrade

Thinking of Mona, her Family, and the Field Families on the 3rd anniversary of her passing.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Monica, Pat, Casey: Your Mother, "Aunt Mona" was surely a blessing to people spread across the globe. I'm sitting here reading the entries. She has touched so many people in so many different ways. A legacy that anyone would envy. It's hard to imagine her not being there to share a hug and a laugh with. She will always be with us. In our hearts and memories. She is, and will be forever greatly missed. A lovely Soul! We can all feel comfort in the fact that she is now in a better place. We...

Since the early days of my childhood...your beautiful Mother has always had a special place in my heart. "Ms. Mona", as we affectionately spoke of her in my family, was truly a gracious, caring and lovely lady. My condolences and prayers to your family.

Dear Monica , I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother. As a child , I too was blessed with visiting and hearing her stories . She had a beautiful smile and heart. I know my Mom will be sadden to hear Mona is no longer with you. She recently told me what fun dad and her had with your mom and dad in the good old Bucktown days . My prayers go out to you and your family . Remember her shining light will never go out as those memories are deep in our hearts.

Loved Ms Mona since I was a little girl..she was my neighbor. ...so sweet .. I'm so sorry for your loss. ..praying. for you and family....Marilynn Caillouette Rome.

Oh Monica. I am so sorry. Your mom was a wonderful gracious lady. You two were so close I know your heart is aching. I will be praying for the Lord to give you strength and comfort. Surely your mom is dancing on streets of gold!

I signed the Guest Book at Greenwood, and decided to add an afterthought. I was coming out of Winn-Dixie supermarket with groceries and a fresh bouquet of flowers a year ago, and by chance saw Mona and Monica. After a 2 minute conversation, I handed those flowers to Mona with a hug! I got the greatest smile from Mona!! Michael and I socialized with you all many times throughout the years. My sympathy to the entire Family.
