To the family of Monica, please except my condolences on Monica's passing. Monica was an outstanding employee, a great mechanic, and a true and loyal friend. She worked for me at Punderson State Park and would always tell me,Nick, don't worry about anything, it will always work out!. She was always right. She was a wonderful and very caring person. will miss her, but will never forget her. Nick and Beverly Fischbach Burton, Ohio

I am so sorry for your loss Nancy, Crystal, and family. I pray for comfort and peace for you.

Oh Monica how I love all the memories we built together!!!! You were like a sister to me!! A dear friend. I am blessed to have been able to spend time golfing with you lately. I loved going to see Momma Mia with you and dancing in the isle at the theater!!! Lol!!! Going out to dinner and shopping at Costco with you was so relaxing!!!! I loved watching the Indians games with you. I got to grow up with you and then reconnect as adults! I am so truly blessed that God put us together in this life! I'll join you on the other side some day and we will pick up where we left off!! I'm sad yes! But I'm happy in my heart for the joy of you in my life!

I didn't get the pleasure to work with Monica but I did get to talk to her when I dropped vehicles and mowers off for repairs. She was ALWAYS a great person to talk to and always made me laugh. Her mechanical knowledge and talents were amazing! I know she will be missed by many.

I am so sorry to learn of your sister’s passing. I hope you have many fond memories to fill the void in your hearts.

May flights of angels sing you to your rest. ??
