Thank you Mona for 8 years as Head Age Group Coach, Team Mom, Cheerleader, Guidance Counselor, and so much more to our FORK swimmers, parents, and coaches. Always there to teach us, to push us, to pull us up when we were down, and congratulate us when we succeeded - all with that wonderful smile! The last 2 years were tough, but your Viking Spirit got you through as far as you could go. Rest in Peace. πŸ’•πŸŠπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ”±

November 19, 2024

Coach Mona has been fighting for 21 months as The Strong Viking warrior she is. Unfortunately the doctors have informed us the tests have confirmed the worst case scenario. Mona’s diagnosis could not be worse.

She understood the doctors...very sad moment...she is not afraid of death...she is the sunshine of our lives...She is so brave and she is in peace...Mona is the bravest, most loving, the most kind and nicest person I have ever known...her cancer spread rapidly all over her brain and now it is lepto meningeal carcinomatosis...

This is the end of the road

SHE LOVES YOU!! WE LOVE YOU!

Thanks for your love friendship and prayers...they gave her 21 more months to live with us.

From Fernando, Pancho, and Thor
