Mrs. LaMonte raised two very beautiful daughters who are great and dear frinds of mine. I know that she has found peace after her suffering.

I will always remember her great hospitality and kindness she has always shown towards me. They are very lucky to have such a great mom!

You have always been, and will continue to be in my heart and on my mind. I know you are at peace and resting with God, family, and friends. All my love is with you, now and forever. Eternal kisses til I see you again xoxoxoxo.

Your journey was long and hard but I know you are at peace now. I will always remember the many many summers I spent at your house. And I will never forget the smiles you gave to me. You will always be in my heart. I love you and will miss you very very much.
