Hello, My name is Danny...the middle son. It is with a heavy heart that I inform all of mom's blog friends that she is very ill. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a couple months ago, and is now receiving hospice care from my sisters Erin, Mary, Dawn, and myself.

Please say a prayer for her, or simply keep her in your thoughts.

Warmest regards,
Danny

  11. Thank you so much for letting us know. I met your wonderful mother a couple years ago. Drove to meet her since I live in Fullerton. We had a wonderful lunch at her son's restaurant and talked the afternoon away. I had begun to notice that she wasn't blogging much and was going to call her.

  28. Danny, I am so so so very sorry to hear about your Mom. I just loved Mona and we had several shared 'life experiences' over the years. She was a wonderful, warm loving woman. Beautiful inside and out.

    I did a little post for her on my blog. I am sorry we weren't able to give her more support than we did-but, typical Mona, she would not want people to know an worry about her. She was one in a million. You have lost a precious soul and I am sorry.

  37. Dear Danny

    I am so very sorry to hear this incredibly hard news! Your Mum has been very much in my thoughts over the past several weeks and I kept checking here, to see if she had posted anything new. I sent a short email a while back, enquiring as to her well being.
    We all know how very, very hard this must be on all of you, her adoring and much loved family. It's a shock to all of us who came to know her through her blog.
    She had a heart of gold and a soul that transcended the world.
    With much love to you all!

  38. Dearest Danny and Mona's entire family. Myself and so many of us have fallen in love over the past nearly ten years of blogging, and getting to know her was an absolute joy. She touched the lives of us all, and shared her family life and happenings with us. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies as you mourn your sweet Mona. I loved her too, as a true friend and sister blogger. So far away, but do let me know if there is anything I can do for you. xox Sincerely, Diane Cayton Hakey.... Mona's friend.

  39. Dear Danny,
    Your mom was one of my first friends thru blogging and she was a woman I greatly admired. We kept up on fb but I hadn't heard from her in awhile. Your mom was a gem. I loved her wit, and her caring, loving heart.
    My deepest sympathies.

  41. Oh Danny, your mum will be so missed. I have followed her blog for some time and shared in her joy of the seasons, her little dogs, her decorations of the home, her love for the garden and her pretty house. She lived such a full life, surrounded by the love of her large family. She endured bravely the loss of her first husbands and two of her beloved children. I think your brother's death must have been one sorrow too many. None of us live forever but your mum deserved all the happiness you all brought to her. I shall miss, miss, miss her. xxx My condolences, from England.

  52. Oh, my blog family and friends! I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Last time I checked, she hadn't posted in a good while, but I just figured she was taking break.
    I know you loved her so much! When I first found her blog, several years back---I went back to the beginning and felt I knew her and you all as friends!

    I know she will forever live as Mom to all of you. Her family made her life! God bless you all!

  57. You know what Danny, I searched for an old blog of mine which was about loosing my aunt as I wanted to send it to my cousin's daughter who is in Texas. I was just going through the comments and suddenly realised that I had not visited your mom's blog, or rather did not hear from her for some time.
    And when I came here, I see this.

FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUSI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because lifebecame meaningless to me because I had Herpes virus, thesymptoms became very severe and bold and made my familyrun from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gaveup everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because thedoctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs butthey never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me makingit worse. I was doing some research online someday when Icame across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhotacured them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thoughtit was a joke but later decided to contact him on the detailsprovided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent mehis herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after twoweeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptomsdisappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I wasNEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DREbhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep ontelling the world about you.

  64. My names are Julia moreton I’m a citizen of UK, My younger sister was sicking of
    breast cancer and her name is Florence   I and my family have been taking her
    to all kind of hospital over here(UK) still yet no good result. I decided to go to
    the internet and search for cancer cure so that was how I find a lady
    called Sophia Charlotte,   she testifies to the world about the goodness of a
    herbal man who has the roots and herbs to cure all kind of disease and the
    herbal man email was there. So I decided to contact the herbal man @ kokobiherbalremedycentre@gmail.com for my
    younger sister to see if he can cure her from the ailment that has befallen her(breast cancer). I contacted him and told him
    my problem he told me that I should not worry that my sister will be
    cure, he told me that there is a medicine that he is going to send give to me to cook and give it to my sister to drink for one week, so I ask how
    can I receive the cure that I am in UK, he told me
    That I will pay for the delivery service. The courier service can
    transport it to me so he told me the amount I will pay, so my dad paid for
    the delivery fee. two days later I receive the cure from the courier
    service so I used it as the herbal man instructed me to, before the week runs out, my sister cancer was healed and it was like a dream to me not
    knowing that it was physical I and my family were very happy about the
    miracle of Doctor kokobi. my dad wanted to pay him 5 million  dollars as token of our appreciation towards his good work but the
    herbal man declined the offer which I don't know why, he only say that I should tell the world about him
    and the miracle he perform so am here now to tell the world about him if
    you or your relative is having any kind of disease that you can't get a solution to from
    the hospital please contact kokobiherbalremedycentre@gmail.com or WhatsApp him

  65. I wanted to say Thank You for providing this information, youre doing a great job with the site if you get a chance would you help me make some changes to my site? Ill pay you for your help, you can find the link to my site in my name. Thank you!
    I thought Id share a quote with you from U.G. Krishnamurti that pertains to your blog, please dont take offense. You assume that there is such a thing as truth, you assume that there is such a thing as reality (ultimate or otherwise) – it is that assumption that is creating the problem, the suffering for you.

  73. I share this testimony with partners who are suffering in their relationship because there is a lasting solution. My husband left me and two children for another woman for 3 years. I tried to be strong only for my children, but I could not cope with the pain that tormented my heart. I was hurt and confused. I needed help, so I did a little research on the internet and came across a site where I saw that Dr. Ediomo, a spellcaster, can help bring lovers back. I contacted her and she made a special prayer and spell for me. To my surprise, after 2 days my husband returned home. So we were reunited, and there was a lot of love, joy and peace in the family. You can also contact Dr. Ediomo, a powerful decision maker

    2) Gather the husband or wife together
    3) If you have nightmares
    4) Cure for HIV and Cancer

  75. Please Read.You have a great post here, Have anyone here know Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.For my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
    Up to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet begun to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr jekawo herbal doctor hands whom god has blessed with ancestral powers and a gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Hepatitis... So I made a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have been watching my health for 6 years now and I actually confirmed that his herbal medicines are a permanent cure and I'm so happy that I came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr Jekawo herbal doctor Email: drjekawo@gmail.com if you went through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because to be honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
