Dear, sweet Mona, your life was a testament to genuine, unconditional love of family, friends and all who were fortunate enough to have met you for even for short moment of time.  May you now rest in the arms of our dear Lord, sweet girl.  Your kindness will be missed here on earth. God bless you and all of your family.  Save me a seat at the table.

Mona you will be missed. You are such a loving person who always made me smile with your glowing smile.

I have known Mona since high school. Everyone loved Mona. We would be at a party and there would be Mona taking lots of pictures. We used to tease her. One day she showed them to us. She had the best history of our lives in those photos. Thank you, Mona

Mona, you will be sadly missed along life's way,
quietly remembered every day...
No longer in our life to share,
but in our hearts, you're always there.

I have been remembering those summer days when Mrs. Roche would pack all the Maplewood kids lunch and take us to the park for the day -- great memories!  She will always be remembered!  Our prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
