Many of you probably knew
Mona Duffy.
She had a wonderful blog that
she kept up for several years.
She was a beautiful soul.
She had an interesting life and
some life struggles
like all of us do.
I am sad to say that she passed away
due to pancreatic cancer
early this morning.
I have not been blogging
the last few days so I missed
the post from her son, Danny.
You can read it here
God Speed, Mona.
You will be missed.
I have many long, lovely emails
from you that I cherish.
You were a very special lady
and I shall miss you dearly.
If you are so inclined,
please say a little prayer for
Mona's family---
or sent good, loving thoughts
their way.
Thanks!

May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen.
Prayers for those she left behind too.
I read it on another blog - her son's letter - I didn't know he meant today or that quick. She was a wonderful, wonderful woman - and I will say a prayer for her family. SAndie
I'm missing Mona already. I too have some lovely long emails she wrote to me. I'm praying for her family.
I did not follow her blog, but I am sorry for the loss of your good friend.
So much sadness here on earth lately, but I have to believe so much more glorious rejoicing is happening at Heaven's gates. Prayers for this sweet family.
Mona will be missed .......prayers for her family
Mona sounds like a special lady. I clicked over to her blog and I'm sorry I never met her in blog land. Sending prayers to her family.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sad to hear this. I did see her son's post and I was shocked to hear that she was battling this horrible disease. I'll pray for her family.
Diana, thank you for telling us this. So sad!!
Mona, was a very special lady and I had the pleasure of meeting her. I drove to her home in Riverside, CA, met her and it was like seeing a old friend. We talked and talked. met Howard. She then took me to lunch at her son's restaurant. We sat outside on the patio and had a great salad and talked some more.
We had been talking about getting together and one thing or another came up and we never got back together again. I will miss Sweet Mona. She is now with the love of her life, Pat and her daughter that she lost to cancer a couple years again. She also lost a son last fall and I believe her had a heart attack. Rest in Peace my dear friend.

So sorry to hear this sad news. I will read her sons post too and say a prayer.
Blogging is a wonderful thing in that we meet so many lovely people along the way. So sorry to read of Mona's passing.
I don't think I knew her, but I think it's sweet she had friends/family to let everyone else on blog land know.
I've been blogging so much that if you don't see me blog on a regular basis for more than a year with no goodbye, I'm probably dead.
She was a lovely lady and loved by so very many people.....
Diana, I have wondered about her, as I missed her blog posts. I saw the post from Danny, it broke my heart for her children. I only knew her thru blogging and I always enjoyed her . I will pray for Mona's family. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
I do not think that I had ever read her blog, but I am so sorry to hear of her passing. Cancer is such a struggle and such a devastating disease.
Praying for Mona's family. Thank you for this, Diana. The world is full of heartache. In many cases we can do nothing but take these families before the Lord, who knows and loves them, and is their greatest source of comfort.
Oh, no! I am so sorry to hear this. She will be missed. xxx Maria
oh how this news saddens me...I followed Mona for some time until she had lost her daughter, her little Mele and her son...she was a very special friend...she adored her family and was blessed in life...we shall miss you Mona.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. I first visited her blog just because it had such a sweet, pretty name, and found her to be the same.
God Bless Mona's family. I followed Mona's blog for many years, as did many of those of us that are veteran bloggers. She shared her love for family, thrifting and decorating and opened up her heart to all of us. We will miss our sweet Mona.
Thank you for letting us know Diana and also to Marydon.
hugs,
Sissie
Prayers for sweet Mona and her family.
How very sad. I did not know Mona but I do know that pancreatic cancer is possibly one of the worse kinds. My hubby's father died with it and just last week, we lost one of our former pastors with it. My heart goes out to her family and thank you for sharing, Diana.
So sorry for the loss of another sweet blogging friend. When we all get to Heaven we can rejoice together!
Love, Roxy
Sorry Diana for this loss of a good blogging friend. I did not know Mona but if she was a friend of yours I know she was a great person with lots of fun and love in her soul. Sorry sweet friend for this loss. Prayers for her family.
xoxo

My condolences on the loss of your friend.
I hate reading post like this but it reminds us all that life is short and tomorrow is never promised. We are all human and will suffer such pain in our lifetime. Prayer is powerful healing. I pray the family finds peace and understanding during this sad time.

Oh, how sad. The other night I was lying in bed waiting to go to sleep. And I was thinking of all the bloggers I've known who are now dead.

So sad. I am sorry I didn't get to "know" her through her blog.
Thoughts and prayers are with her family at this most difficult time. Rest In Peace Mona.
I am so very sorry to hear about your friend . I did not know her but so wished I did . Prayers for the family . Hugs and blessings , Cindy
I didn't know of her or her blog. I'm so sorry for the family's loss. I understand pancreatic cancer to be one of the most painful, so I'm glad she is at rest and peace now.
Thinking of Mona's family as they grieve her loss. I usually find all the cottage blogs but missed hers. Ir's interesting how friendships are formed through blogging. Hugs for you, my friend. xoxo
So very sorry to hear. Condolences to her family and friends.
So very sorry. I heard the news from another blogger as well. Hugs and prayers...
I am so sorry to see of Mona's passing. My heart sank when I read what she passed from as I lost my mom to the same thing. I pray God sends her family His peace and her soul rests in His peace through His mercy....
Oh, so sad! I never "met" Mona or read her blog, but she sure seemed like a sweet, sweet lady! SO sad for her family and loved ones...prayers going up!
I'm so sorry! I never " met" Mona or read her blog. My heart and prayers go out to her family.
