To the FAMILY, A GREAT LOSS GONE BUT, NEVER FORGOTTEN, ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS. PRAYING FOR YOU ALL. Remember when Y’ALL 1st CAME here, THE “1ST CENTRAL NEWS”, IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!!! LOVE YOU ALL. GOING TO MISS HER DEARLY, BUT, SHE’S WITH HER HUBBY NOW!!!! PRAYING FOR STRENGTH TO GET YOU THRU THIS DIFFICULT TIME. BUT, GOD ON YOUR SIDE. BLESSINGS.
Ursula and Karen, We are deeply saddened by the loss of Aunt Monika. We will miss her very much. We pray that in the midst of your sorrow you find comfort in all the joyful memories shared.
Monika’s smile and laughter will be greatly missed my many. She had a special sense of humor that gave so much joy and laughter to those around her. I still remember going to a Cleveland Indians game with her 25 years ago and laughing the whole way home in the car. She was a loving mother and wonderful friend. Karen and Ursula, I am sending you my love and thinking of you and all your family.
I am so very sorry for your loss of Monika, even though I didn’t get to know her personally. Losing a dear loved one in death can be very distressing for us to go through. But the good news is the Bible promises a time very soon when we will see our loved ones again. One account is found at John 5:28,29 that says,”Do not be amazed at this for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out!” What a wonderful time that will be to reunite with our loved ones again during the promised earthly resurrection.
