Monica was the rock of our family. She was very loving, very kind, she had a great sense of humor, her laughter was contagious. She was a people person, a socialite, she enjoyed decorating and entertaining. She had a word of advice ‘when you visit someone never walk in with your long hands, always bring something’. She was very well known for her meat patties. She gleamed at the happiness of others. Her heart would light up at the presence of her grand-children, how she loved them! She truly enjoyed all her interactions with them, she was a great Agi! She was extremely grateful and blessed with yet another blessing, her great-grandchildren. Her heart melted just by hearing their little voices. In her earlier years, she was a teacher, her hobbies included gardening, cooking, decorating, arts and crafts, creating floral arrangements, and made the best custard. Above all, she loved the Lord Jesus, she looked forward to her daily readings of the Bible. She was a mom, agi, sister, friend, neighbor who will be forever held in our hearts. We love you mom, you will be missed until we see you again. Rest in Peace.
