Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints, Psalm 116:15 Dear your daugther is not lost she is in Gods sight and it precious all though your heart hurts now, my prayer for you is that God will lift the pain and give you strength to praise Him for sending His only Son to die for us all so that we can have everlasting life.We walk by faith not by sight We are confident yes well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present of the Lord 2corint 5:8 if your daugther were lost she would not be in the Lord's present Be Blessed

There are "Angeles" that God sends to this world and then takes away to do more good. This is why Ms. Monique was placed on this world to do, to help children like my daughter Lena whom she mentored since my daughter was at Kiirpatrick Middle School. Thank you Ms. Monique and God bless you and your family. You will be missed.

With all our Love,

My dear friend. I will always treasure the times we encouraged, motivated and supported each other, the counsel we exchanged and the sisterhood we innately shared. The beautiful framed picture you helped me acquire (because that's just the kind of giving woman you were) and the gorgeous vase you gave me as a birthday gift are proudly and prominently displayed in my home. Each time I look at that piece of art it will remind me of our friendship and the beautiful, proud queen that you were. Your friendship left a mark on my life and your life left a mark on this world. Calvin and the boys - weather prevents me traveling home to pay my respects, but I send you strength through my heartfelt prayers.
