Monika Johnson missing near alpental....

Even though I never met Monica I feel a loss after reading all the stories of what an incredible human being she is.

My thoughts are with all of her many friends and her family.

mount st helens this may, with fellow mountain rescuers.
i cannot believe this. so very sorry to hear the news.

What a fitting picture with Monika in the lead : )
That was a wonderful day and I shall pause whenever I hear a cowbell in the future with a thoughtful moment to her.

I didn't know her as well as I would have liked but she was a thoughtful inspiration and always fun to be out with. It is no wonder she was such an appreciated part of our community.

Thanks to SMR, EMRU, TMR and BARK for doing what we could yesterday,
Namaste to Monika and her friends,
Kevin

Sad news indeed.

I only had the fortune of meeting her once or twice, but through the words and thoughts of others, and the great disturbance in the energy that flows through all of us who love the mountains, I'm saddened another bright light has been extinguished in this world.

Peace to her friends and family, and I hope she's enjoying the endless powder runs she's undoubtedly on now.

My thoughts go out to friends and family. She was simply amazing.
