I recently attended a funeral service for my dear friend Monique Nolen. The service was beautiful!! Monique had some great friends and family. The reason why is because Monique was a great friend to all and she had a loving and beautiful personality. I’ve known Mo for 32 years and I will miss her dearly. Gary Fortune
Danny & JD, We love you and our hearts ache for your loss.
Monique made life work for me when I was younger, and I thank God for her always.
Danny and JD,
I am so sorry Monique has passed away. If I could I would have taken her place so she could still be with you both. My prayers and thoughts are ever with you – you are not alone. Love you both.
