Dearest Rodger, Stephanie, daina and Aundrea: our thoughts and prayers ar with you and we support you in your grief. Mona was always a great mentor to us and assisted us through many difficult situations by helping us view things in an objective way. She thought us how to remove the emotion from a situation and look at the facts and finally decide what we wanted out of the situation so we could than work towards a positive solution. I have never met another person in my 50 years of life that has had such a positive affect on my life. The most important lesson I learned from her was that no matter how bad you think things are you can survive anything with the love and support of your family, they are what really matters. To that add a good dose of faith in gods plan for us and you can survive anything. Even though we no longer live in Newfoundland Mona has and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers and her spirit will live on in all those like myself that she has mentored, helped and supported. I am a better person today because I was lucky enough to have her in my life. We support you in your grief and thank you and your family for sharing Mona with us. All our love and support, Barry and Norine Rideout
