Oh Monica, we could never have enough pink markers or sparkles!  You always lite up any room you were in and had such joy to your heart! Every time we see a little spider we know you are visiting us, rest in peace my dear friend! You are truly missed. We love and miss you everyday! 

My dear sweet old friend,

It is the greatest of pains to have to say these words. I am still in shock. The world feels colder knowing that you no longer are here.

We were best friends growing up, and Monica was my first love.  She taught me one of hardest lessons in life, to learn from my mistakes and to make myself better for it. I will always carry her in my heart, and when I can see it I will look to the Big Dipper and be reminded of Monica. The stars were something we shared under the seasons skies, and they will always be ours, always and forever.

I hope that you have found peace. 

Goodbye my old friend,

"J"

Tears of grief, tears of sadness pervades our hearts and souls. We will forever be changed. You were our little girl we never had, part of our family... hugging, laughter, tears, 
Remember snuggle time??? You loved to snuggle in my lap or Ed’s, you would tell us How much you loved us... we held you, hugged you .. you would close your eyes and have this peaceful smile on your face... we have always loved you child, we will be together again..,and we will hold you again in our arms.

Monica always gave me a warm happy welcome whenever I came into PearleVision. I always looked forward to seeing Monica, she was polite and eager to learn. She had the happiest smile :-) and loved her avatars.
I remember her texting Lori a picture of the coming soon poster of the Loveland site and telling Lori that she should hire her back.
I feel fortunate that Monica rejoined PearleVision and provided me the additional time of knowing and witnessing her lovely spirit.

I first met Monica January 18, 2014. I’m an optometrist and she came in for an eye exam. I liked her personality immediately. At the time, I needed some help in the office but just couldn’t find the right person. I was looking for someone kind and friendly who got along well with people. Monica fit the bill perfectly. So I offered her a job and she accepted. Working with her was a joy for me, the staff, and the patients. She always managed to be cheerful even during what must have been very difficult times for her. She will forever have a place in my heart. My sincere condolences to her family.

Her smile and genuine kindness could light up the room .... she would sometimes apologize for being grumpy ... I would always explain to her that her version of "grumpy"  was equal to me at my "best" .  I feel blessed to have had Monica in my life and will miss her every day . 

So deeply sorry to hear the sad news of Monica’s passing. Such a smiley, giggly fun girl and a good friend to have had in my life, even for such a short while. My thoughts and prayers go out to her beautiful daughter and the rest of her family. May you Rest In Peace Monica. 

To the one of the most wonderful people out there. I could always talk to Monica about everything as well as she shared her feelings.  I always looked forward to seeing her at work  every morning, If you looked at Monica you could never seem like nothing was ever wrong she was very strong at work, when we had communication it always touched my heart and was always praying for her, that her troubles would be gone My heart goes out to her and her family.  Will always  remember Monica everyday. RIP
