For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith.” 1 John 5:4
We are sadden by the lost of our beloved co-worker, employee, friend and prayer warrior, Ms. Monique LaCaze our Senior Billing Specialist. Ms. Monique has been with our agency for over 12 years in our billing department. But she was so much more. Her gifts and talents went beyond just being an employee, which she was exemplary, but she shared some of her blessing with us daily. Every day, she shared the scripture of the day with our office mates, as well as teachings from her beloved ministry of Word of Life Church. She adhered to the spirit of the Lord in every aspect of what she touched. And she touched many of people in her presence daily. God gifted her with a sight of calculating numbers, and blessed fingers that created the most delectable deserts and food. Her Red-velvet cake and spinach dip was much loved at our office. Her constant comments and love for her hometown of New Orleans, and what she missed from there was always on the forefront when we talked about food. But the greatest gift given is her constant hand on the word of the Lord and the word that she shared with us every day. She understood her roles in life of being a mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, and friend. Her favorite color is purple because it stood for royalty. We believe because she knew she could reign and overcome any obstacle set before her with the help of our Lord. We have lost a link in our chain, a piece of our puzzle, a slice of our pie with the loss of our beloved, Ms. Monique. We will remember and celebrate who you are and how you have impacted our lives for years to come. Fly high, our sweet angel, wear your crown as you go forth with the Lord.
Your Arc of East Ascension Family.
