Love you and miss you! I’ll think of you every time I look at my snow village – I treasure every piece you gave me.
Sincere sympathy to you John, Sr, your family, friends and our former coworkers. Mona will be missed by all. Don’t mourn the past, celebrate that you knew her. Prayers for all.
Love you Grandma,
I will always remember the fun times we had together as a family.
All those family Christmas get-togethers and weekends when we would come out with Mom to swim and eat pizza at your house.
We had a lot of good times over the years. You were always loved and always will be.
Miss you Grandma.
I’ll always remember the summer day’s we spent in the backyard pool and our family Christmas gatherings. They are some of my favorite memories with you. I love you and I’ll miss you.
We didn’t know each other for long but I enjoyed every visit we shared. You were always so loving and supportive of Alex and I. I’ll continue to get to know you through the stories and love your family shares and holds for you.
