This has been a shock to us all and still so untrue. Monica was a sweet and loving person and a wonderful mom. We spoke to her on Christmas and as usual her voice was full of life. What every one seems to over look is that her son will live without his mom, his best friend. No matter the situation that took place that night if indeed Martin did unarm her , the question still remain, then why did he have to shoot her multiple times?? She was longer a threat to him. At this point he was in control. . and that if his story has any truth to it at all. Rest in Peace Monica. . Though we don’t have all the answer and probably never will, we must trust that God has a plan. Please say a prayer for her son, family and friends… . . This is just the beginning of a long and over whelming ride.
We will never know the whole truth, He didn’t have to take my baby, like he did, he should have done it to himself.
