You are all in my prayers!!! I'm so sorry, Monty was a "GREAT" man! We worked together for 7+ yrs. at Walgreens. Alot of customers would comment on how good Monte was in the photo department, he was well liked! We had many conversations...... He loved his family so much, that was evident! I know he will be very missed!!! He is at peace now.... He will always be with you...... Lean on GOD & the Angels, they will help...........
