Thank-you.

This is when we should have been notified by the Sheriff's department to cease this post.

Do you know how she died?

You probably aren't aware of this. Monica was buried Today, Tuesday October 9th.
I would hate for a family member or friend see the missing notice, and have to relive the sad situation.
