Monique Strzykalski Obituary

Happy belated Birthday!!
Missing you

I am missing you still. I am sorry I didn't do enough to keep up with Mike and Lilly. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Lilly. My mom joined you a year ago. I hope you see her in heaven. I will never forget you!

The school year ending and thinking how you would be helping us pull things together.

Another year passed and we still miss you as much.

Thinking about you and remembering so many special memeories

Your big smile, your spirit full of energy, your kind and gentle heart will be forever missed and remembered

Another year has passed yet its still difficult to understand that you are not with us.

Your birthday just passed and I'm sure you celebrated. Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking about you and always praying for you, Mike and Lilly.

I miss you so much! I keep waiting for you to come to my front door and bring Lilly in! I can't help but think of you on your birthday. I should be happy for it is my daughter's birthday too but thoughts of you continue to be in my head. Mike is such a great daddy, you would be (and probably are) so proud. Lilly looks more like you everyday! I miss you soooo much. I will continue to look over Mike and Lilly. May you be looking down on us all and smile. Happy Birthday!

To both the Strzykalski family and Dvoran family, I am extremely saddened to hear about Monique. Even though I have not seen Monique in years, maybe even since high school, her memory of being a beautiful, caring, and fun loving person will live on. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. GOD BLESS!!

Mike,

It's impossible for me to explain how sorry I am for you and your whole family. You have always been a strong and very sensible man even when you were a boy. Times like these are challenging but you must continue to be the great person that Monique shared her whole life with. You have two children that will definetly look up to as so many of us have throughout the years. You will no doubt need friends and family to help you through this difficult time so please reach out to people as I know I would be honored to comfort you in any way I can.

Love, Gil and Katie Gracia.
