My beautiful Auntie has reunited with her beloved in the after life. She always had a keen understanding of our place in the universe as she was versed in Buddhism and other religious philosophies. She was a great teacher to me... and she never stopped learning. She is a deep and insightful soul whom I will hold dear in my heart. We had many fond memories to cherish, I am grateful.

“The wind bids me leave you. Less hasty am I than the wind, yet I must go. We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. Even while the earth sleeps we travel.
We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered” Khalil Gibran
Till we meet again dear Auntie Monica 🌺❤️

Beloved Monicabhabi was known to me since 1968, she was the first person who took me to go shopping when I came to Canada. Monicabhabi and Arvindbhai became our real brother and sister when we arrived and their families became our close friends. Monicabhabi was gem always attracting you with her infectious smile, her wealth of information, and simple philosophy of life....live with lots of love. We stayed with them for a short time, but our relationship and bond was ever lasting.

Monicabhabi, you will always stay with us in our hearts. Your love is a gift to us and will never ever be forgotten. May you soul rest in peace. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti ....

You brought joy, happiness and laughter to all who met you; you will be sorely missed by everyone. A person that departs on this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds - through us they live on.
You will be missed dearly. Rest in peace.

Monica was born in Longwood, Jamaica. She was the fourth child of six. While her younger sisters played she would read and enjoy classical music and poetry, which she carried on throughout her whole life.

After becoming a nurse in England, she married Arvind Shah, who she considered to be "the most handsome man she ever met." They lived in Trinidad partying it up with the oil barons, executives and officials for a while; but got tired of the heat and decided to move to a cooler climate - Churchill, Manitoba, Canada - where they found better company with the polar bears.

Later they settled in a large house on Nina Street, near Casa Loma in Toronto, where they loved to entertain family and friends who came from all over the world.
Monica never had any children of her own. She loved spending time with her nieces and nephews, especially during the holidays.
