    My sympathy to all of you. I just saw this in the Hector paper today. I have such fond memories of Mona and Jim when they were in Hector. We had a lot of fun working together at the Grill. And we had fun times at their house — they were always making homemade ice cream and would invite us over! We just mentioned her name this Christmas because she gave us an ornament for the tree the year we moved from Hector.
    Lovely fun person! Our sympathy.

    So sorry to read in the paper the passing of Mona, I just got to know her in the short time I helped her out with the cleaning of her apartment. She was so nice to talk to and talked of her family. She was so proud of all of you. May you be comforted at this time, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Peggy Emmel
