What a great lady and what a wonderful legacy to leave to her loved ones. She seemed to have been as much of a giver as her daughter, Donna, who gave so much to my mother in our time of need. People like this could never be forgotten nor do they ever really leave our side.

Mrs Monti was one of the nicest, kindest, most gentle people I have ever known. I had the privilege and blessing of knowing Mrs. Monti and for over 13 years, I felt like I actually had 2 Moms - my Mom and Mrs. Monti (Mother). I know that Mr. Monti is glad to have her with him now as well as the Lord - for now He has some help keeping Mr. Monti in line. I know she will be missed but I also know that her sweet spirit will live on in the lifes of those she touched - family and friends. Mrs. Monti thank you for having been a part of my life. Love, George.

MRS. MONTI WAS THE FINEST LADY ON EARTH!! I WAS HER NURSE AT WESLEY LONG, AND I LOVED THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO SPEND WITH HER. SHE WOULD TELL TALES OF HER PAST AND IT MADE YOU WANT TO HANG ON TO HER EVERY WORD. I'M GOING TO MISS HER...
