Our sympathy and prayers. What a wonderful lady she was. She made sure I was remembered, as a godmother, would do, since my Aunt Veronica (my godmother) was called from her life too early. Memories are wonderful.

Bernie, I was so saddened to hear of Monica’s passing. I enjoyed hearing all about her from you. Not sure you remember me, but I am Lucy’s daughter. May Monica have eternal happiness

I remember A. Monica very well. Her chuckle I can still hear. Wow she lived a long life….good for her. Our sympathy to all of you. I am a daughter of Jerome and Emma Schoch.
