Aunt Monica, You have alway been a very special part of my life. I have many wonderful memories at your home in Waukegan and Wildwood. You were not just my aunt, you were my mentor, you had my back, you really listen to me though I was still just a child -- all these and more, I will be eternally grateful. I cherished our phone calls these last few years...And as you asked me in one of them... "I PROMISE, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU".
All my love, Nancy

Those wonderful kisses you gave so long ago to us, your nieces and nephews, always left a faint red lipstick mark on our cheeks. My sister Gale and I dubbed those 'Aunt Monicas' and I taught my children to call them the same. They were signs of your great love for all of us, and to this day, I still cherish the remembrance of those small tokens of your love on our cheeks. We loved you in return, dear Aunt Monica, and will miss you very much. And Praise the Lord for your faith in Him!

Aunt Monica, for such a petite lady, you had the heart of a giant. You showed love and opened your arms to all who knew you. Love, Debby

So glad to have had you as my Godmother -- you treated me as one of your own (when they finally came! :-) ) I know you are with Uncle Bill and my mom now -- give them my love.......... Love Leigh
