Monica's obituary
Monica Rivas, beloved mother, friend, and a beacon of strength, passed away peacefully in her home on the 20th of July, 2024. Born on the 25th of February 1961, Monica's journey of 63 years was filled with a myriad of accomplishments, subtle strength, and unconditional love for those around her.
Monica will forever be remembered for her dazzling smile, her magnetic vitality, and the radiant warmth she extended to everyone she met. Her compassion was boundless, showed not only in her professional life but more strikingly in her personal life, where she nurtured her family with love and dedication. Her friends speak fondly of her infectious laughter that could light up the darkest room, a spark that will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
Monica's greatest pride was her children, Natasha Romero, Andre Hernandez and Jason Harris. Monica’s role as a mother was the one she cherished the most. She raised Natasha, Andre and Jason with a combination of unwavering love and gentle guidance, molding them into strong and inspirational individuals, just like herself. The bond between Monica and her children was incomparable and enduring, one that won’t weaken even with the passing of life.
Monica's passing creates a void that can never be filled. She leaves behind not just the fond memories of her radiant personality and loving heart, but also the lessons of benevolence, courage, and resilience that she embodied throughout her life.
In these trying times, we extend our deepest condolences to her daughter, sons and all who had the privilege to know and love Monica. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of those she touched and in the legacy she leaves behind - a legacy of love, courage and unwavering strength.
