she was a nice lady she taught me at the DCLC and she will be missed...:( RIP Mona

My deepest sympathies to your family. I worked with Mona many years ago and enjoyed every minute of it. She was so patient and kind with her students and was truly someone I looked up to. I loved her sense of humour. She always made me laugh. Her family was so important to her and I know how much you will miss her. She was a very special person and is gone far too soon.

Please accept out deepest sympathy in your loss. Sincerely, Steve & Audrey Gray, Stoney Creek, Ontario (Atholean's son & daughter-in-law)

On behalf of Queens County Learning Network, I would like to extend our condolences to Mona's family, friends and students. I know she has touched the lives of many people.

Its a hard thing to say good-bye to your friend your teacher. Everyone loved Mona myself included. Im sorry the Raymond and Ryan families are going through this and I wish them well. I didnt get to know Mona  for long but the time I did have will be fondley remeembered. Brian says well go muddin when I see you agiN

Was a nice gathering today under the circumstances, I am proud to have known Mona as a teacher & friend for the years I attended DCEC. She was close to all her students, and gave us all the individual attention we needed to learn, and she had such passion teaching us. I'll never forget how she would sit next to each individual student to make sure they were doing there work and understood what they were doing. Without her guidance I do not think I would be a graduating student I am today. Come June, stepping up and grabbing my diploma will be such a honor, but not the same without Mona being there. Miss you always Mona, I'll never forget you.

We are truly sadden by the loss of a wonderful friend.We will keep our memories of all the great time together close to our hearts.Fly with the Angels Mona, we will miss you!

Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of Mona.  Words cannot express how saddened we are to hear of your loss.  Please know that our hearts and prayers are with you at this tragic time.
