Monna left the following instructions for all who knew her: "Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you. If you can only remember me with tears, then please do not remember me at all." At her request, Monna's ashes will be scattered at sea. Those wishing to donate to a memorial in her name are urged to do so through their own chosen church or charity, or a local hospice organization serving their community.Published in Fort Wayne Newspapers on November1, 2015

I remember Mona fondly. She was quiet and sweet and we spoke on occasion. We were not close friends, but I regret her passing non the less.
