elevated 6xYLx In Loving Memory of Monica
elevated 6xYLx With profound sadness, but with hearts full of gratitude for the life she lived, we gather to celebrate and remember our beloved Monica—a devoted mother, loving daughter, cherished sister, aunt, faithful friend, and extraordinary woman whose love touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.
elevated 6xYLx Monica was born on December 26, 1969, in Caracas, Venezuela, to her loving parents, Erika and Pedro. She was the second of six children and grew up alongside her siblings, Pedro, Andres, Tuny, Daniela, and Junior. From an early age, Monica possessed a joyful spirit, a generous heart, and a determination that would carry her through every chapter of her life.
elevated 6xYLx She attended El Liceo Los Alamos in Caracas, where the foundation of the woman she would become was built. Those teenage years were filled with unforgettable friendships, dreams of the future, music, laughter, first loves, heartbreaks, and the memories that she would carry with her forever. They were the years that shaped her vibrant personality and her deep appreciation for the people she loved.
elevated 6xYLx Monica began her working life at the very first McDonald’s to open in Venezuela, located in El Rosal, Caracas. There she met her first husband, Enrique and at the age of 21 she married and moved to the place she would always call her paradise—Margarita Island. There, she built a beautiful home filled with dreams, hope, and love. It was where she welcomed her two incredible children, Valentina and Gustavo, the greatest blessings of that chapter of her life.
elevated 6xYLx Although that marriage eventually came to an end, Monica refused to let hardship define her. She met every challenge with courage and resilience, choosing always to move forward with hope. Her strength led her to Toronto, Canada, where she began a new chapter and continued to conquer every mountain life placed before her.
elevated 6xYLx Years later, she met her second husband, Julio and they welcomed their beautiful daughter, Sofia. With Sofia’s arrival, one of Monica’s greatest dreams finally came true—to become the mother of three wonderful children. Being their mother was the greatest accomplishment of her life, and nothing ever meant more to her than her children. They were her purpose, her pride, her greatest joy, and the reason she fought through every obstacle with unwavering strength.
elevated 6xYLx Monica’s love for her children knew no limits. She was the kind of mother every child hopes to have—always present, always supportive, always leading with love and by example. Whether it was a celebration, a difficult day, or an ordinary moment, her children could always count on her. She gave them her whole heart, every single day, and she always knew in her soul that Valentina and Sofia would be cared for, protected, and deeply loved, no matter what life brought.
elevated 6xYLx Monica was also the best mother-in-law, embracing her son-in-law Andrei as if he were her own son. She loved him deeply, with pride and tenderness, and welcomed him fully into her heart and her family. To her, he was never “in-law”—he was simply her son, another child she loved and believed in.
elevated 6xYLx A woman of deep faith, Monica found peace, purpose, and belonging in her work and community at St. James Parish. There she built lasting friendships that became family and discovered comfort in the house of God. Her faith carried her through life’s greatest joys and its greatest trials, giving her the strength to face each day with grace and hope.
elevated 6xYLx Anyone who knew Monica knew her unforgettable sense of humor. She had a remarkable gift for making people laugh, even during life’s most difficult moments. She was kind beyond measure, endlessly generous, and always willing to put the needs of others before her own. She gave without expecting anything in return, loved without conditions, and welcomed everyone with warmth and compassion.
elevated 6xYLx Monica also inherited the beautiful stubbornness of our mom—a quiet determination that became one of her greatest strengths. She was an incredible cook and baker whose meals brought family and friends together, filling every gathering with love, comfort, and unforgettable memories.
elevated 6xYLx She was a devoted sister, a treasured friend, and an extraordinary aunt to her five nieces and three nephews, each of whom she loved deeply. Her presence made every family gathering brighter, every celebration warmer, and every heart feel more at home.
elevated 6xYLx Monica’s legacy is not only found in the life she lived, but in the lives she transformed through her kindness, courage, laughter, and unconditional love. She taught us that true strength is found in compassion, that faith can carry us through the darkest times, and that love is life’s greatest gift.
elevated 6xYLx Today, while our hearts ache with her absence, we choose to celebrate Monica—for her extraordinary bravery, her unwavering faith, her beautiful spirit, her infectious laughter, her generous heart, and above all, her immeasurable love for life and for the family she cherished beyond words.
elevated 6xYLx Though she is no longer by our side, Monica’s love remains woven into each of our hearts. She will continue to guide us in our memories, inspire us through her example, and live on through her beloved children, her family, and everyone blessed to have known her.
elevated 6xYLx Monica, your life was a gift. Your love was immeasurable. Your memory will be our greatest treasure.
elevated 6xYLx You will be loved forever, missed beyond words, and remembered for all eternity.
Hay personas que dejan huellas tan profundas que el tiempo y la distancia jamás consiguen borrarlas. Mónica fue una de ellas.
Siempre la recordaré con esa sencillez que la hacía tan especial y con una sonrisa capaz de iluminar incluso los días más difíciles. No era una sonrisa ingenua; era una decisión de vida, una forma de abrazar a los demás y de recordarnos que siempre existía un motivo para seguir adelante.
Hoy nos duele su partida, pero también nos queda el inmenso privilegio de haber coincidido con ella. Quienes tuvimos la fortuna de conocerla llevaremos para siempre un poco de su luz en nuestro corazón.
A quienes hoy sienten este vacío, quiero decirles que el amor no desaparece cuando alguien se va. Se transforma en recuerdos, en enseñanzas, en pequeños gestos que, sin darnos cuenta, seguimos repitiendo porque un día los aprendimos de esa persona. Esa es la forma más hermosa de permanecer.
Descansa en paz, querida Mónica. Gracias por regalarnos tu sonrisa, tu bondad y esa manera tan auténtica de vivir. Mientras haya alguien que sonría al recordarte, seguirás presente entre nosotros. Y tengo la esperanza de que algún día, cuando volvamos a encontrarnos, será con esa misma sonrisa con la que siempre supiste recibir a quienes te querían. Mis más sinceras condolencias para toda la familia.
It was an honour knowing and being part of Monica’s extended family.
Sending love and prayers to her beloved children and siblings.
Love Chris, Patricia and Maya 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊️🕊️🤍🤍
My beloved Monica,
My heart is shattered into a million pieces, and I don’t think it will ever truly recover. Losing you has left a silence so deep that I don’t know how to fill it. There are no words powerful enough to describe the emptiness your absence has created.
You were never just my sister. You were my second mom, my safe place, my greatest comfort. Whenever I was trying a new recipe, you were the first person I called because somehow you always knew exactly what to do. You never made me feel foolish for asking. You simply guided me with patience, laughter, and love.
You were my favourite volleyball partner back in high school. I can still hear our laughter, remember our determination, and see the joy we found in simply being together. Those memories have become treasures that I will hold close to my heart forever.
We were supposed to grow old together. We were supposed to watch our hair turn silver, laugh about our aches and pains, and become grandmothers together. We were supposed to celebrate countless birthdays, gather around the Christmas table year after year, and create even more beautiful memories.
We still had so much life left to live together.
There were still more passionate debates where neither of us wanted to admit we were wrong. More jump scares that would leave us laughing until our stomachs hurt. More crafts to make, more family dinners to share, more phone calls that lasted far longer than they should have, more hugs, more “I love yous,” more ordinary days that now seem so extraordinary because they included you.
I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I don’t think I ever could have been.
I will miss your voice, your smile, your wisdom, your kindness, and the way you made everyone around you feel loved. I will miss the comfort of simply knowing you were there. The world feels so much smaller without you in it.
Thank you for loving me the way you did. Thank you for being my sister, my friend, my teacher, and my family. Thank you for every memory you gave me and every piece of your heart that now lives inside mine.
Although I can no longer hold your hand, I will carry your love with me every day for the rest of my life. I will speak your name, tell your stories, and remember your laughter, because as long as I do, a part of you will continue to live on.
I love you beyond words, Monica. I will miss you more than I can ever express. Until the day we meet again, keep watching over me.
Forever your little sister.
Rest in peace Mónica, you will be missed.
You were always there to help the church and the community..
Loved and miss you.
Tom and Maria Grant
Forever my Tia and someone I will always look up to; I am so beyond heartbroken to have lost you so soon. I hope to become someone you can be proud of. Please watch over me and I will work to be as positive as you always were. I love you forever❤️
Querida Mónica,
Me cuesta mucho escribir estas palabras. Hace muchísimo tiempo que no nos veíamos, pero siempre guardé en mi corazón los recuerdos de nuestra infancia, cuando éramos tan unidos.
Recuerdo tu sonrisa tan bella, tu alegría constante y esa inocencia que te hacía una persona especial. Siempre estabas feliz y transmitías luz a quienes te rodeaban. Gracias por tratarme como a un hermanito y por el cariño que me regalaste en aquellos años tan bonitos.
Aunque el tiempo pasó y nuestros caminos se separaron, tu recuerdo nunca se borró. Me duele saber que te has ido, pero también me siento afortunado de haberte conocido y de haber compartido parte de mi infancia contigo.
Descansa en paz, querida Mónica. Siempre vivirás en mis recuerdos y en mi corazón.
Con mucho cariño.
Rest in peace, Mónica. It was a true blessing to work alongside you and to know you as such a kind, compassionate, and faithful person.
Your generosity, gentle spirit, and unwavering willingness to help others touched the lives of everyone who knew you. The love and dedication you gave to both our workplace and your church community will never be forgotten.
May God welcome you into His eternal embrace and grant peace and comfort to your loved ones. You will be deeply missed, always remembered, and forever in our hearts.
With love and gratitude,
Marie @
My dearest Monica, when God made our paths crossed, and for the very few short times when we met, I have seen what true faith is, in you. Despite your many challenges and trials, you continue to seek him, find comfort in him, with that beautiful smile and without hesitation. You are truly God’s child in every sense of the word, with your deeds and the way you offered yourself to help others. I feel blessed to have been a part of your life even for a brief moment.
As your journey with us ended, may this be the start of your eternal peace, rest well my dear sister.
My condolences to the family. I had the pleasure of volunteering with Monica for a number of years at our local Scouting group, Terrific 22ND Scouts. Sofia was one of my Cubs for 3 years so I’m sending her some love & strength, plus a virtual hug.
