It was only a couple of weeks ago. Most people on hospice are confined to bed but there she was at the keyboard playing her favorite composer.

While she and I didn't often 'meet' on here despite our both being such long-time members, I was always very happy when we were in the same discussions -- she was such a warm presence. I will miss her very much.

Monica made sacrifices for the rest of us and probably never gave it a second thought. I'm happy she had children, they will be a great legacy for her, and the world will be better for their presence. Now, I'll go grieve. Ralph Kawai VPC1 Garritan CFX Lite Pianist since April, 2015

I've only met a few people I've known from online a few times and Monica was likely the nicest. Her presence in this world will surely be missed by all those she had touched. Rest In Peace Monica.
