  1. To Mrs. Monroe family, my family and I are truly sorry to hear of her passing. We have lived 2 houses down from her for a couple of years now. She was always very welcoming and happy to have my kids come to visit her. We are sad to hear she has past away but they understand she is in a better place, happy, and pain free. We will all miss seeing her walking her cute little white dog with the pink bow, aka angel, getting her mail and visiting with her. We were blessed to know her and she will be missed dearly. God Bless
