"Monica was a very sweet & gentle person who will be deeply missed. I also want to honor the love & dedication my brother Billy gave her & her son throughout the years. He stood by her side with care & devotion, & he loved her son as his own. The bond they built as a family was real & meaningful, and her son has looked to him as a father in every way that matters. Sending love & condolences to everyone grieving this loss. "

"Monica, you left us far too soon, and our hearts are broken. You were a loving mother, and your love for Kaidon was always clear in everything you did. While we grieve your loss, we also hold close the beautiful memories you gave us. Kaidon will always carry a piece of you with him, and your love will continue through him. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Rest peacefully."
