Sending out our love and condolences to the Monaghans for the loss of a true lady who’s strength and love for her family and friends was, and continues to be legendary. We’ll never forget her smile and laughter as she quietly enjoyed spoiling her family and friends or watching the world go by sitting in her Muskoka chair. Your family sure did you proud yesterday Auntie Gail.
