Final Funeral Services to be held in Monrovia Liberia. Time and Venue To Be Announced

We have created www.monibamemorial.com to provide pertinent information about the Funeral Services. We will update the Web site to reflect the name of the church where the services will take place and to provide directions to the church. Please visit the site to get up-to-date information.

Please submit all tributes to sumojones@aol.com with a copy to HFMILY@aol.com. We will compile the tributes and present them to the Advisory Committee to select a few people who will speak at the Funeral Services. We would like very much for everyone to give a word or two during the funeral services, but we realize that time may not permit. So we have decided to put all tributes on the Web site to facilitate maximum readership. We ask that you submit your tributes by Close of Business (COB) Wednesday, December 8, 2004.
