Curtis,Deb and Mike,
I have the best memories of Mona and growing up. Her home cooked meals, garden vegetables, The infamous pig roast all bring a smile to my face. At the last pig roast she was twirling her baton lit with fire. My children were in awe. We so enjoyed our last visit at your home. Thanks for your friendship. We love you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Dear Mike, Debbie and Curtis,
I loved your mother dearly. We were out of the country when she pasted and I did not know until we had gotten back home. She was my mother’s best friend and if I could have picked anyone other than my own mother she would surely have been my pick hands down. She was the best of all things. I am sorry I was unable to give you any support during her passing but I am thinking of you guys and I am thinking of you all.
Love you guys.

Sorry for your loss. Your family always in our thoughts and prayers.
To Debbie & Mike & the rest of your family.. I am so very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. My thoughts & prayers to the family.
I was always so fond of Mona, as was my husband, Darrel, and all of our family when we all were working at Memorial Hospital.
Her always so pleasant smile could make anyone feel better. So willing to help anyone and known to everyone. So many friends from every department and on any floor. Smiles will always appear on so many faces when her name is mentioned still. So very sorry for your loss.
Mona was a spirit of kindness like no other. We will always remember her very fondly – her courage in the face of challenge, her amazing sense of humor, her unending love for those less fortunate, and her devoted love to her family and Curtis. She was an amazing ray of light that we loved sharing when we were together. She will be deeply missed. Our prayers for for the family as they deal with this loss – but Mona would not want anyone to dwell to long on this — get back to living fully with love – she would say!
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Mona’s passing. She was full of life & always had a smile.
I know your hearts are broken. My condolences to all of you, her precious family.
Mona was such a beautiful soul. Prayers of comfort to the family.
Dear Thevenin family,
I was so sorry to see of Mona’s passing. I always loved spending time with her at softball games, she was a delight, always warm and friendly. And the love and pride she had for Jessie and Brooke was so apparent. I know she will be missed. I’m so glad I got to know her, even if only in the softball world.
