Dear Sharon, Jessica, Jamie & family – I pray you will all find comfort in the days ahead knowing the Monica is resting at peace and pain free.

So glad I read this. I’ll be sure to go shopping for a purple dress that Monica’s spirit will lead me to. I’ve known her for many years, since I was knee high to s grasshopper lol. And She was the most kind-hearted sweet lady that I’d ever had the privilege of meaning and being her friend. She was more family to me and my grandmother Doris than friends. And now forever will be thankful to her for talking me down with some personal issues I just hate I can’t give her a big hug and tell her goodbye in person and tell her how much I appreciate everything she did for me. I just hope she knows I love her and I know she’s with the good Lord my mom my pawpaw And all the rest that went before the sweet lady. My deepest move sincerelest condolences. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything and I do mean anything. Keeping you all in my thoughts prayers and sending you all my good positive vibes your way. Much love to you and all your family. 💜
My deepest condolences to all Monica’s family and friends. I knew Monica through Pogo and occasionally chatting on messenger. I am still in shock over her passing but know she will be watching over all her loved ones. My thoughts and prayers for all! ❤
