I received a call from my brother Kevin that Monica had died and I just recalled all the wonderful childhood memories. After shedding a few tears, I remembered Monica and I swinging on the Cox's tree swing that she unforunatly broke her arm on. We use to ride our bikes all around the neighborhood and up around the schools and Sacred Heart Church. Also the fun times swimming in Lake Washington, sleep overs and roller skating! We shared lots of laughs and crazy times. As I looked back on the pictures of us as kids, my heart aches to know she dies so young and that she never got to see my kids who are at the age when Monica and I were best friends. We lost touch of each other and the last time I saw a picture of her was one that my brother Terry took when she was modling. She was a beautiful lady that I will remember dearly. God Bless Teresa and Margarete and the all the Gotz family. When ever I go back to Clyde Hill I often think about you and all the wonderful times we had together.
Sincerly

I read the obituaries maybe once a year and last Sunday just happened to be that day. I have been driving around this week with an incredible sense of loss after reading that Monica had died. I am beginning to understand it after several days. At first it was sadness for a life taken so young. I remembered all my fond memories of her and what a lively, happy, and beautiful girl she was. I don't think I ever saw her get mad at anything or anybody. But as the week wears on I seem to be feeling more of a sense of loss than sadness. You see, I remember the Gotz family and how the children, from oldest to youngest, loved each other so much. How they enjoyed each other's company, watched out for each other, supported each other and their house was bustling with activity. My household wasn't that way and to be immersed in the Gotz household was a treasure for me. If I would have been blessed to have more than one child I would want them to love and care and respect each other the way the Gotz children do. I think I am feeling your loss now. She was a part of the fabric of our lives and there is a hole to be mended. For me, I see the most beautiful and unique seven stone diamond ring and one of the stones just happens to be missing. To anyone who has never seen the ring they might think it is a pity there is a stone missing. I look at the ring and can see it complete with or without the empty space on it. It's a beautiful ring and it becomes even more precious and valuable with one stone missing. I love you Monica, I love you all.
