They were true partners, inseparable in life and business, enjoying travel all over the world and the US. Mona was an avid tennis player until golf found its way into her life.

She was a natural athlete, she was creative and talented, good at everything she aspired to achieve. Mona’s greatest joy was spending time with Wayne, sons Steven and Noah, daughter-in-law Sara and, grandchildren Keanu and Guava who were the light of her life.
