    Long time friends since high school. Was so glad Monica accepted my invitation to attend my Central Catholic's 50 year Reunion dinner in 2015 at the PAA in Oakland. Really good time talking about those good old days in the mid 60's, including Pirate games at old Forbes Field. And yes. Always a smile and a positive disposition. A joy to be around.

    Monica was such a sweet woman. She was soft spoken and had a smile for everyone. I enjoyed working with her at the VA- she will truly be missed.

    What a great lady. Always a smile, a hello and a kind word. She was very proud of her family and talked about all the wonderful times on the boat.
