    Monroe was a very special brother-in-law who was so kind to everyone and who was a true Christian man who loved the Lord. I am sad at his leaving but know he is in a much better place now with no pain or tears. I will miss him and hope to see him again when it is my time to depart. May God bless and comfort his family. Lovingly, Peggy
