Aunt Mona was one of the sweetest women I ever knew. The Lord did not let her suffer long in this life and she is now on that other shore. She was loved by many & will be thought of often & missed by all. Prayers for the rest of her family through this difficult time.
Mona was a wonderful friend to me. I use to pick her up and take her home from Curves. We also went to Lon house a couple of times. She will be missed. Think and praying for the family.
