MONICA LAWRENCE
(nee HOLDEN)
After courageously living with
pancreatic cancer for two and a half years, Monica Lawrence died on Saturday,
August 24, 2013. She lived and died with
grace and did everything she could to make her passing easier for her loved
ones.
Monica was a wonderful sister and
aunt, a loyal friend and an accomplished writer. But she was most proud of her successes as a
teacher and the feedback she got from the students she inspired.
Monica
blessed everyone who met her with the gift of laughter, from the clerk at the
corner store to the nurses caring for her in her moments of crisis. She will forever be cherished for sharing
that gift and for her boundless generosity of spirit.
Her
family is grateful for the care and support Monica received from the Health
Sciences Cancer Care centre. It could
not have been better. Special thanks to
Denise Klassen for her guidance and sensitivity.
Monica
is survived by her three sisters Lenna Glade (Peter), Laura Holden and Wanda
Hartry (Don), her niece Zoa Hartry (Michael Stronger) and her nephews Shane
Hartry (Pamela), Richard Glade and Trevor Glade.
A
memorial for Monica will be held on Friday, August 30, 2013, 2013 at 10:30 a.m.
in Westminster United Church, 745 Westminster Avenue.
No
flower tributes, thank you. Please
donate to a charity of your choice or donate your time to a school or community
centre in her honor.
