In Memory of Monique Metzler the Founder of Women's Lifestyle World.
To Monique
We remember you with love
To new members and subscribers, or those who have not suffered the loss of someone they really love, this page will not necessarily mean much, but for those of us who knew this wonderful woman, mother, wife, friend, companion and shoulder to cry on, this page will remind us of how hard she worked to bring Women's Lifestyle World to life and how much we appreciated and loved her.
The perfect wife Loving Mom
Her Family:
Monique was a devoted mother and the perfect wife. She was a "fixer", she fixed and mended her family's concerns with love and attention. She was a "planner", she planned all the family's activities.
She was a "director", she directed everything for the good welfare of her family.
She was, of course, much much more to her family than can be expressed in words, and they miss her now, beyond description.
From Eden:
Mom you always cared for me and made sure i was warm,healthy and looked after, if i needed to talk or cry you where there and i am grateful for that. You will always be in my heart i really miss you
love you always xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Her Friends:
Monique had many good friends and here are some of their comments written in her journal.
"It has taken me almost a year to be able to write in this book. It has been on my bookshelf in the office and each time I see it I think of you. I still cannot believe that you are gone. I think of you often and wonder what you are up to. I take comfort in the thought that you are in a better place, free of pain and disease.
You were such an incredible woman and I almost gave up and cancelled our function last year as I thought I could not do it without you. But in your honour I carried on and we missed you madly.
You have left two precious young ladies who will miss you every day. My mom has now been gone 18 years (half my life) and I still cry for her. The pain will never go away, but it gets a bit easier to bear.
Monique, I love and miss you babe. I hope that wherever you are you are having a blast.
Till we meet again
Goodbye my friend

Dearest Monique
Thank you for all you did for me, you forced me to grow, you inspired me, you believed in me. Through you I met so many women that I can call friends.
I will miss your drive, your passion and your belief in me.
I will miss your laugh, your cheery voice, your smile.
Never did I believe that you would be gone.
You have left a blaze of fire behind you that will never die.
I love and miss you my friend
With all my love

To know Monique was to know strength, courage, laughter, a sense of fairness and right and wrong.
To know Monique was to know a woman of great confidence, who made things happen, took the lead and made her presence known without even trying.
To know Monique, was to know a woman who made the most of life, helped others to make the most of their lives and opportunities and had a true spirit of giving.
To know Monique was to know a woman who loved her family, adored her daughters. I can only remember her smiling.
To know Monique is to know how to smile.

Monique was a person not easily forgotten. You have enriched the lives of those with whom you came in contact with.
Lesley Banks GNLD (Golden Products)
Your mom was a true inspiration to so many women in business. She always led by example and never left home without a smile on her face. Her bubbly personality always filled every room she entered. I will continue to carry her in my heart - she will remain a super-special soul.
"A mother is someone who can take the place of all others - but whose place no-one else can take."
I have no doubt that you will make your mom so proud!

Say not in grief that she is no more but say in thanfulness that she was.
A death is not the extinguishing of a light, but the putting out of the lamp because dawn has come.
Priscilla (Mums Mail)

One day you will be just as special as mom, you are two beautiful girls, with lots of mom in you!
Look after yourself and just remember, God will never let anything happen to you that you can't handle!
Lots of love

In beloved memory of Monique
Your mom's memory of her strength, courage and convictions need to live in your hearts and minds forever.
Your mom was a beautiful example of a kind, gentle, compassionate woman - an original thinker and pioneer - a special lady who wanted to empower everyone around her - may you two girls carry on her legacy - live life with the same joy, positivity and trust in the universe!!
All my love and light
