My dear sweet Monica returned to her Heavenly Father peacefully on Monday morning. She battled breast cancer for 19 years and never gave up. Monica will be deeply missed as she made a difference in so many people’s lives. Monica’s love for life and her contagious laugh and smile will forever live in my heart. She always lived life to fullest and her compassion for others was endless. She is a gift to the world and what she did in this life will spread through the years. Her inspiration to me was to love life, be passionate in what you do and always to take time to help others. Her example of how to live and love will reside with me forever. Thank you for leaving such a legacy of love behind. I love you dearly! You are at peace now, my dear friend.
