This is late but I wanted to do this in memory of Monika. I will hold my own special memories of her; I knew her for about 15 years and each time I visited Winnipeg she would welcome me into her home and her heart. She was a wonderful cook and her perogies were the best! I appreciated her warmth and generosity of spirit. She was a woman of faith and courage. God bless you Monika. Gwen (Helen #3) and spouse Thomas. - Posted by: Helen Gwen Gleason-Graham (Friend of Family) on: Nov 18, 2014
