I have great memories of my friendship with Monica as we grew up on Thwing Road in Chardon together. I remember going over to Monica's house and visiting with her mother, Sigi. Sigi was beautiful….I loved to listen to her accent and enjoyed her sense of humor. I know that Monica and her mom were very close and cared for each other deeply. So sorry for your loss Monica, Patrick and family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Karen (DeMell) Babcock
