" Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even though they die.” -John 11:25-26

Monica was a devoted mother and grandmother who cherished time with her family. She had a daily devotion to Mother Mary at 1 o’clock pm, to the Divine Mercy at 3 o’clock pm and daily praying of the Rosary.

She enjoyed watching tennis and basketball and was an avid fan of Miami Heat.

Survived by her loving daughters, Gloria, Grace and Gel, sons-in- law Daniel and Dino and her cherished grandchildren Matthew and Anya.

Her warmth, love, kindness, strength, gentle spirit and glowing smile which she is known for will be missed by all who knew her.

You will forever remain in our hearts.

We love you and we will deeply miss you, Ma.
