40 y/o? Awful news. Was she having any known problems, or was this out of the blue?

R.I.P. Monica, and thoughts & prayers to her family.

Man, that's terrible news.

Sad news...that was quite an era of Cyclone basketball she was a part of.

 

[Acylum]

Horrible news. That team was a joy to watch.

Just brutal. Hard to find a better person. She was loved and will be missed.

If you knew her, you loved her. She was one of the nicest, and funniest people I ever came across. Just awful news.

Hard to put into words. Great Cyclone, but an even better person. She was loved by everyone she spent time with. I'll not forget her smile or laugh. Things like these are what piss you off and make you question why awful things happen to such great people.

We used to call here Mighty Mo back in the day. Great person. Very sad.

Grew up in Vinton and didn't know Monica personally, but did know her family. Her dad worked for the school district as a teacher for years and was one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. Had him as my teacher and really got to know him very well over the years. So sad to hear about, my thoughts are with her family in a time like this.

She is missed already...I remember watching her in high school, the first future Cyclone I saw play. I remember thinking of how awesome it was that she was going to be a Cyclone. She didn't disappoint.

WOW! Was going to school when she played and while Frese, Taylor, and Welle usually got all the accolades she was a huge part of that team that sometimes got overlooked. Her being Bill's first recruit at ISU she really was the 1 that started the long string of success. Sad day for Cyclone Nation

Nearly 2 decades later and a lot of fans on here are talking fondly of her and what she's meant on and off the court. 40 is way too young, but I'm glad she left her mark. RIP.

Very sad. Thoughts to her loved ones.

I loved that team. Remember listening to the game in my high school parking lot waiting for practice.

This is kind of hard. Back when Monica played we got seats so close to the floor it became personal. And of the few players I have met, it's unfortunate I never got to shake Mo's hand for all the pleasure she gave us fans.

Seems it be fitting for Pete Taylor do her interview as Johnny and Jack welcome her home.

Any one know what happened? Cancer or what took her so young? Really sad....
