Dear Monserez family,
I am so sorry for your loss. It is difficult to lose someone who has been such a large part of our lives. May your good memories lift you when that void looms. May God bless all of you to draw closer to Him.
In Christ's love,

Dear Meggie, Monserez Cousins and Families,

I am so sorry for the loss of Uncle Jim.
He was a wonderful uncle to me and a very special man.

I loved him very much and will surely miss him.

To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.

Big Jim was a friend and role model since my time in High School. When his son Marty and I both lived in Pittsburgh, he always found an extra ticket for me whenever ND played Pitt or Penn State. We always had more fun than should be allowed. I picture him now in heaven with Anne, and I smile. Big Jiim, well done good and faithful servant. Kevin Canfield
