Monika L. Detz-Bayless

To the Bayless and Detz families: I was deeply saddened to hear of Monika's passing. She was a wonderful person. We were childhood friends and I had hadn't heard from her since we graduated from high school. She called me a couple of years ago when my father passed from cancer to offer her condolences and encouragement. Little did I know that she was suffering herself. Truly a testament of her own strength.
May your fond memories comfort you during this time of sorrow. My thoughts and...

To Chuck and the kids:

We are so sorry to hear about Monika's passing. We both loved her very much and she was a great friend to both Keith and I. We will miss her greatly. To you and the kids, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and if you need anything, you know you can count on us. We will see you soon. Semper Fidelis!

A great loss. May God bless all of the family, especially the children

To the Bayless Family: I would like to extend to you my deepest sympathy during your loss of Monika. May God give you all strength to endure your pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love Miss Rosie Hunter and Family from the Normandale Neighborhood.

To Chuck and the kids: I just want you to know how sorry I am about Monika's death. This is such a sad time for everyone who knew her. I was truly praying for her recovery. She was a wonderful person and although I know how much you will always miss her, I hope the memories of her will soon make you smile again. You will all be in my prayers.

I have never seen a person with a stronger will to be healthy than Monika. She gave her family 200%, and was at every single one of her childrens' sporting events and activities. She was always smiling and always said she was "doing good", and would quickly ask how you were. She will be greatly missed by everyone, at the ball park, and at the Lee High Class of '84 reunion. Many prayers of strength and healing for her family.

We want to express our deepest symapthies to your family during this time. Words cannot erase the hurt but please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers!!!

Love-
