00:00Hi, I know today's gonna be difficult, so I won't ask you how you're doing
00:26Just, just doesn't seem real
00:32Yeah, I know
00:35I got here early in case you needed help with anything before the service
00:43I think, I think we're good, Michael's here somewhere, he's handing all the logistics today
00:48Okay, of course he is, I'm glad we have him to lean on
00:53Knowing that Sonny and Carly won't be here today
00:57No, no, Monica blamed Sonny for a lot
01:01Taking me away from the family
01:05Just took Monica so long to realize that it was my fault
01:11And it was my choice
01:13By keeping my distance from the court remains, I know I caused my mom a little bit
01:18I think
01:20What happened in the past
01:22Only made you living at that house for the past year
01:26That much sweeter for your mom
01:29She was beyond happy to have her son back under her roof
01:34Why do you understand that and he doesn't?
01:58And what does that say about my marriage?
02:00I can't answer that
02:02But I also know that it's a lot easier to be brilliant
02:06When it's not your marriage on the block
02:09You are a very insightful man
02:13And an irreplaceable friend
02:16That's a great picture of her
02:22But she didn't really take any bad ones, did she?
02:29She didn't believe in them
02:30Just another reason I respect that woman
02:34How are you holding up?
02:40I don't know
02:40I know I have to say goodbye to Monica today, but
02:45There's some part of me that just
02:48Doesn't believe that it's possible
02:51I mean, none of this is happening
02:55And even when she was sick
02:56She still had such a presence in this house
02:59In this family
03:00Whether she's physically here or not
03:04It doesn't really matter
03:07This will always be Monica's house
03:11I'm so glad we're all heading over to the church together
03:24That makes it seem like this day might be
03:28A bearable
03:29Yeah, it does
03:30Actually, I gotta head over right now
03:33I checked on something for Michael
03:34But I'll see you at the church
03:35Okay
03:35Love you
03:37Love you too
03:38Sweetheart, are you ready to go?
03:42I don't know if I'll ever be ready
03:44But
03:46I'm gonna stay strong
03:48Keep it together
03:49For Monica
03:51You got the letter?
03:55Right here
03:55What are you all standing around for?
04:00Let's go say goodbye to Monica
04:01Oh, good
04:06I was just about to call the nurse
04:08But maybe you could help me?
04:11Hmm
04:11What's going on?
04:16You can't possibly be ready for release yet
04:19So
04:19Why are you out of bed, huh?
04:23Much less all dressed up
04:25I'm going to my mother's memorial
04:30Jason
04:33I am so sorry for your loss
04:38Thank you
04:43Thank you for coming
04:45Oh, of course
04:47Now, speaking as the mayor
04:49It's, uh
04:49It's impossible to overstate
04:52How important a pillar
04:54Of this community
04:56Your mother was
04:57She was right at the heart of it all
05:00And I respected her
05:02More than I can possibly say
05:04Thank you for saying that
05:06She's also a friend of mine
05:09And I'll miss her a lot
05:11Yeah, me too
05:12Yes, I'm sure
05:13I want you to know
05:16That my mother was planning
05:17On coming today
05:18But at the last minute
05:19She came down with a bug
05:20And she wasn't able to travel
05:21Well, she's
05:22She's okay, right?
05:23Oh, yes
05:24She's okay
05:24She'll be fine
05:25You know, it's funny
05:27I can still remember
05:28The day
05:29That my mother and Monica
05:31Made peace with each other
05:32But in the end
05:34My mother thought of Monica
05:36As a friend
05:37Despite all their past differences
05:40Oh
05:43Thank you for coming
05:45It's the least I can do
05:49Your grandmother
05:50Was an extraordinary woman
05:52I'm just glad
05:54That I got a little time with her
05:55Since I, uh
05:57Got back
05:59Yeah
06:00Let's go with that
06:01I'll always be grateful
06:03That she let me live
06:04At the Quartermains
06:05When my dad was married
06:06To Tracy
06:07And even when Monica
06:09Threatened to throw out
06:09My dad and Tracy
06:11She made sure to tell me
06:13That I could stay
06:14Yeah, that doesn't surprise me
06:16Yeah, my grandma's toughness
06:18It was how she protected her
06:20It's all the time
06:21I think that runs
06:24In the family
06:24Dr. Quarterman
06:34It was one of a kind
06:36I admire her so much
06:38Everyone at the hospital did
06:40It's true
06:41We were all so honored
06:42To walk the halls with her
06:44I'm a little surprised
06:46That Jason, of all people
06:48Was playing the role of host today
06:49Yeah, you know
06:51The family was supposed
06:52To be here by now
06:53But
06:53Looks like he's handling
06:55Pretty well
06:56Excuse me
06:58Michael
07:02I'm so sorry for your loss
07:04Your grandmother
07:05Was a remarkable woman
07:07Thank you
07:08And thank you both
07:09For being here
07:10It's our honor
07:11To be here
07:12We should go get us
07:14Yes
07:14All this small talk
07:21Must be torture for you
07:22I can take it from here
07:24It is
07:26But it's okay
07:27I want to thank everyone
07:30Who's coming today
07:31Thank them for honoring my mother
07:34Are you sure
07:36That this is really
07:38You know
07:38A good idea
07:39Because
07:39From what I was told
07:40Monica's memorial
07:41Is um
07:42Private
07:44Service
07:44I'm her son
07:46I'm her son
07:46Yeah
07:47The son is still recovering
07:48From gunshot wounds
07:49And she should still be
07:50In a hospital bed
07:51Drew
07:53Nobody humanly expects you
07:54To
07:55Go ahead
07:55Say it
07:55Martin
07:56The family
07:57Doesn't want me there
07:59Well
07:59I don't care
08:00About them
08:01I don't care
08:02About what they think of me
08:04I have every right
08:06To be there
08:07Yeah maybe so
08:08But things between you
08:10And Monica
08:10This is not about how
08:12How Monica and I ended up
08:14Okay
08:14She's my mother
08:15She loved me
08:17And she accepted me
08:19The second that she found out
08:20That I was Alan's son
08:21And that meant something to us
08:24Even with the way
08:25Things were lately
08:26Okay
08:26She still
08:27She reached out to me
08:29What'd you say?
08:31I never returned her call
08:37I just
08:39I
08:39I thought that she was calling
08:41Because of the steps
08:42That I'd taken to
08:43To
08:43Protect Scal
08:45You mean the restraining orders
08:46You'd taken out
08:47Of members of her
08:48I thought that she was
08:49Gonna side with the rest
08:51Of the family
08:51Against me
08:52And
08:52And I'll never know
08:56If I was right
08:57I just never
08:58I never imagined
08:59That it would be
08:59The last time
09:00I ever got a chance
09:01To talk to her
09:01No
09:01No
09:02How could you?
09:04I think with everything
09:04Going on
09:05I just
09:05I lost sight of how
09:10Important she was to me
09:11And I'm always
09:13Gonna regret that
09:14But I'm not
09:17Gonna let my anger
09:18Against the rest
09:20Of the family
09:21Stop me
09:21From saying goodbye
09:23To my mom
09:24Thank you
09:29Thank you both
09:30For coming today
09:31Of course
09:32You know my mom
09:35She always told me
09:37How much she liked it
09:38How much she liked it
09:38When you dropped by
09:38I loved hanging out
09:40With Monica
09:41She was always
09:42Such a good friend
09:43To me
09:43And when Maxie
09:45Had her heart surgery
09:46It was Monica
09:48It was Monica's hands
09:48That gave my daughter
09:49Her new life
09:50Her new life
09:50She was a brilliant surgeon
09:52In fact she was just
09:54Brilliant period
09:55You know
09:56It used to drive me
09:57A little bit crazy
09:58When everybody always
09:58Talked about the amazing
10:00Dr. Monica
10:01Quartermain
10:02But truth be told
10:03I was jealous
10:04I was jealous
10:04But you know
10:07Truth really be told
10:08Monica was no saint
10:09Actually
10:10Stop it
10:11She was a brilliant
10:13Doctor
10:15And um
10:16Her family mattered
10:18More to her than anything
10:19It's nice that the Quartermain's
10:24Asked you to speak
10:25Do you know what
10:27You're gonna say
10:27I've got a pretty good idea
10:29It's actually kind of hard
10:31To narrow it down
10:32Because Monica and I
10:33Have been through
10:34So much together
10:35I've been hearing
10:38Great things about
10:39The wellness group
10:40Saved my life
10:42So I've heard
10:43The one here at GH
10:44Is almost up and running
10:45I'm thinking maybe
10:46That's something
10:46That I'd like to get involved in
10:48Well that's right
10:49You're going after your degree
10:50Trying
10:51It's not easy
10:52Yeah
10:53Oh but look who I'm talking to
10:55The woman who has
10:56A full time career
10:57And a family
10:58And battles a life threatening
10:59Disease and wins
11:01And still has time
11:03To launch a major support group
11:05Please
11:06You are exhausting me
11:08And I will take
11:09All the help I can give
11:10I think I will just speak
11:13From the heart
11:14And hope that I can find
11:16The words to express
11:17What Monica meant to me
11:19I hope it's okay
11:24That I'm here
11:25I'm glad you came
11:27I know it probably
11:29Wasn't an easy decision
11:30I'm not
11:32Here as a member
11:34Of the family
11:34I'm here for Monica
11:35She didn't even know
11:37We were related
11:38And she welcomed me
11:39Into her home
11:40I wanted to honor her memory
11:42I just hope other people
11:43Don't get the wrong idea
11:44You can't control
11:47What other people think
11:48I appreciate you being here
11:51Monica would have been so touched
12:05That you came
12:06I didn't know Monica long
12:09But she couldn't have been better than me
12:11Wanted to pay my respects
12:13She loved hearing you play
12:14She always talked about
12:16How talented you are
12:17Sure
12:18Better go find my seat now
12:21Yeah
12:22I mean
12:24You're welcome to sit with us
12:26If you'd like
12:27Oh thanks
12:27I'm okay
12:30I'll
12:31See you all in there
12:32Yeah
12:32Well uh
12:47I mean he's here
12:48Right
12:48So
12:48That's a good thing
12:49Yeah
12:50It's progress
12:51Gio's here
12:54He wanted to honor Monica
12:56Baby steps
12:59Sorry we're a little late
13:23Thank you for welcoming everyone
13:25Uh actually
13:26Jason took care of that
13:29That would have made your mother very happy
13:31It's time to get this started
13:59Drew I'm not questioning your right to be there
14:21I'm just wondering if it's
14:23What Monica would have wanted
14:25I know it is
14:27Just like I know
14:30That we would have reconciled
14:32If we had more time
14:34She wouldn't have called me
14:37If she'd given up on me
14:39Look we loved each other
14:42She's
14:42She's the only mother I've ever known
14:48Hi
14:49I rolled the dice
14:52I brought some with me
14:54I'll sign
14:55And I'm not gonna let the quarter mains
15:05Keep me from Monica's celebration of life
15:09They've already kept me from her actual life
15:11And I'm certainly
15:12Not gonna let Jason pretend like he's Monica's only son
15:16You know
15:17You know
15:17You already sound angry
15:20And you haven't even left the room
15:22Yeah well I am angry
15:24Exactly
15:24And pardon me but you just got finished saying
15:27You didn't want that anger to stand in the way of your ability to mourn for your mother
15:31So I think you should be honest and ask yourself
15:34You're showing up at that church really about Monica
15:37Or is it just another way for you to screw with your family
15:41On behalf of my family I want to thank you all for coming today
15:47We're here to honor Monica Bard Quartermain
15:55Now I'm sure none of you will be surprised to know that Monica had some very strong opinions about how this memorial should go
16:03She was very clear that she did not want this to be a sad occasion
16:08Rather she wanted us to have a gathering
16:12Of friends and family
16:15To remember her
16:16And to celebrate her life
16:19And I think Monica was right
16:21As usual
16:25This is a celebration
16:29Because we were all lucky
16:33To have known Monica
16:35And to have spent quality time with her
16:39Whether it was personally
16:41Or professionally
16:43I cherish
16:45The years
16:48That I had
16:51With Monica
16:52She was the anchor
16:55Of our family
16:56And she was always ready to welcome
16:59People
16:59Into
17:00Her
17:01House
17:03Oh come on Tracy
17:05Let's not argue
17:07We're going to be welcoming a new baby
17:09Into my house
17:10The house that Alan gave me
17:13Oh my god
17:14Monica
17:14Can you let one day go by
17:17Without
17:17Why are you laughing?
17:20Because it gets you every time
17:23I have to be
17:24Honest with you
17:25Our house is
17:28Just feels very empty
17:30Without her
17:32And I think we're
17:34All a little lost
17:36Without Monica
17:37When you stood up for Drew
17:40As being part of this family
17:42That's
17:42That's really when you became
17:44Asus in my book
17:46You know what?
17:47It's not going to be easy for him
17:48People are tough
17:50Well
17:51He is
17:52He's tough
17:53And so are you
17:54Olivia
17:54And this place
17:58Wouldn't really be
17:59A home
18:00Without you being here
18:01I want you to think
18:06Of this as your
18:06House
18:07Olivia
18:08It's going to take us
18:10Some time
18:10To figure out
18:11How to
18:12Live our lives
18:16Without our love
18:17And our guidance
18:20But at least
18:22For today
18:23We don't have to do that
18:25Because
18:27Monica
18:28Has
18:29Left one final message
18:32For all of us
18:33To my dear friends
18:39And family
18:39Thank you
18:41For me
18:42For being a part
18:44Of my life
18:44I have so many
18:47Beautiful memories
18:48Of all of you
18:49That I hope
18:51You do too
18:52Please
18:54Share them
18:55With each other
18:56And be happy
19:00I'm sorry
19:02To leave you
19:02But I've had
19:04A wonderful life
19:05That I truly loved
19:07Just as I love
19:10All of you
19:12I've known Monica
19:23Almost my
19:24Entire life
19:25Because my
19:27Grandmother
19:28Audrey Hardy
19:29Consider her to be
19:30One of her
19:31Closest friends
19:32And they work together
19:34At General Hospital
19:35And my
19:37Grandmother
19:38Who's
19:39Not easily
19:40Impressed
19:41Used to tell me
19:42That she had
19:44The utmost
19:45Respect for Monica
19:46As a doctor
19:47So when I started
19:50Working at GH
19:51You can imagine
19:52I was
19:53Pretty intimidated
19:54To work with
19:55The doctor
19:57Quartermain
19:58Chief of staff
19:59But it turns out
20:02I
20:02Didn't need to be
20:04Intimidated
20:05Because Monica
20:06Who was
20:06Was so patient
20:08And so willing
20:09To teach anyone
20:11Who was willing
20:12To learn
20:13No matter
20:14Their position
20:15When she looked
20:17At all of us
20:18She
20:18She saw
20:20People
20:20She didn't see titles
20:22She
20:22She saw people
20:24And that's
20:25Exactly
20:25How she saw
20:27Her patients too
20:28They were people
20:30That she spent
20:31Time with
20:32And connected with
20:34And she treated
20:35Them with
20:36Honesty
20:37And compassion
20:39And they
20:41Loved her
20:42For it
20:42And it was
20:44The same
20:45For all of us
20:46All the staff
20:48At GH
20:49We were
20:50Her second family
20:52And she took
20:53Care of us
20:54Just like
20:56She took care
20:57Of the quarter mains
20:58And she
20:59Encouraged us
21:01Every single day
21:02To be the best
21:03Version
21:03Of ourselves
21:05And we
21:07Loved her
21:07For that
21:08She also
21:10Inspired me
21:11To be the best
21:14Version of myself
21:15And on
21:18In the days
21:19That I just
21:19Couldn't
21:20She forgave me
21:23And I loved
21:27Her for that
21:28I wish I'd
21:30Gotten to know
21:30My grandchild
21:31I know
21:33It doesn't matter
21:35How I know
21:36I just do
21:37Dr. Portemain
21:38Elizabeth
21:39I am a widow
21:41And I've lost
21:42Emily
21:42I've lost AJ
21:44Jason is my
21:46Only surviving
21:47Child
21:47You tell me
21:50If you were me
21:51Wouldn't you
21:53Want to know
21:54If you had
21:55Another grandchild
21:56I was really
21:59Lucky to be a
22:00Part of
22:01Both of
22:02Monica's
22:03Families
22:04And my son
22:06Jake
22:06Was really
22:07Lucky
22:07To be her
22:09Grandson
22:10Good morning
22:14First of all
22:16I have to say
22:17That I was
22:18Truly honored
22:18When the
22:19Quartermains
22:19Asked me
22:20To speak
22:21Here this
22:21Morning
22:22Like Elizabeth
22:24I too
22:25Knew Monica
22:26For most
22:28Of my life
22:28As a matter
22:30Of fact
22:30Some of you
22:30May know
22:31This
22:31When I was
22:32A young
22:32Teenager
22:3315 years
22:33Old
22:34I volunteered
22:35At General
22:36Hospital
22:37As a candy
22:38Striper
22:38And that's
22:41When I met
22:42Monica
22:43And I was
22:46Just so
22:47Impressed
22:47With how
22:48Poised she
22:49Was
22:50You know
22:50And then as
22:51The years
22:51Went on
22:52I watched
22:53Her navigate
22:53Her way
22:54Around
22:55The
22:56Quartermain
22:57Family
22:58Something
22:59That I think
23:00Even the
23:01Quartermains
23:01Themselves
23:02Might say
23:02Is not
23:03Such an
23:03Easy
23:04Task
23:04But then
23:07Again
23:07Every family
23:09Has their
23:09Own unique
23:10Way
23:11Of expressing
23:12Their love
23:13And even
23:14Though
23:15Monica
23:15Married
23:16Into the
23:16Quartermains
23:17She
23:17Was
23:18A
23:19Quartermain
23:20Through
23:21And
23:22Through
23:22As a matter
23:24Of fact
23:24Another
23:24Job
23:25That I
23:25Had
23:25When I
23:26Was a
23:26Young
23:26Woman
23:26Was
23:27Working
23:27For
23:27Monica's
23:28Father
23:29In-law
23:30Edward
23:30Quartermain
23:31Who
23:32Was
23:32A
23:33Formidable
23:33And
23:34Intimidating
23:35Man
23:35But even
23:37At my
23:38Tender age
23:38I could
23:39See how
23:39Much
23:40Edward
23:40Truly
23:42Loved
23:42And
23:43Respected
23:44Monica
23:45For your
23:47Father's
23:47Sake
23:47I hope
23:48That we
23:48Can
23:48All
23:48Live
23:49Happy
23:50Lives
23:51From
23:51Now
23:51On
23:51You
23:55Do
23:55Love
23:55Him
23:55As
23:55Much
23:56As
23:56I
23:56Do
23:56Don't
23:56You
23:56Yes
23:58I
23:58Do
23:58And
24:00I
24:00Know
24:00The
24:00Reason
24:01That
24:01He
24:01Is
24:01Feeling
24:02As
24:02Well
24:02As
24:02He
24:02Is
24:03Because
24:04You've
24:04Taken
24:05Such
24:05Good
24:05Care
24:05Of
24:05Since
24:06He's
24:06Had
24:06His
24:06Heart
24:06Attack
24:07He
24:07You
24:08You
24:08You
24:08I
24:08I
24:08I
24:09Think I
24:09Could go to like you
24:09Little by little
24:11Now
24:12Now
24:12Don't get carried away
24:14I
24:15I
24:17Know
24:18That
24:32Monica
24:33Saw
24:33Caring
24:34For
24:34Her
24:34Patience
24:35As
24:36An
24:36Act
24:36Of
24:37Reverence
24:37The
24:39The only people she loved more were her own family
24:42And I know she loved them very much
24:45And she treasured what time she had with them
24:49Sadly Monica's life also saw an awful lot of loss
24:55She lost her son AJ
24:58And her two daughters Emily and Dawn and then finally her husband Alan
25:05But those losses along with her battles against breast cancer and alcoholism
25:14Only served to deepen her compassion for others
25:19That's for Maxie
25:21She heard you were in the hospital
25:23She tells everybody you're the person who saved her life
25:27She knows you're gonna be okay because
25:29You're a general hospital
25:31And it's the best hospital in the whole wide world
25:34And it has the best doctors and nurses
25:36And she's right
25:37You thank Maxie for me and I will all write her a note
25:51Monica's generosity, her philanthropy are two of the biggest reasons that General Hospital
26:00And even the city of Port Charles itself
26:03Are the amazing places that they are today
26:07I will miss Monica with all of my heart
26:13But I know that she lives on in her family
26:18And in her legacy at General Hospital
26:23What?
26:38Mother, that's your cue
26:39Are you really not going to say anything about Monica?
26:50I can't
26:51Tracy has to speak
26:55If she doesn't, she's going to regret it for the rest of her life
26:58I agree, but it's not our call to make
27:01You know what?
27:04Maybe, maybe she just needs someone
27:06To buy her a little more time
27:08Lucy
27:09Lucy
27:10Lucy
27:11Um, good morning
27:20Everybody
27:21Um, I was not asked to speak
27:24Or scheduled to speak
27:26Um, why would I be really?
27:29You know, uh, I am not part of Monica's family
27:33And, uh, we weren't really friends per se
27:37But over the years we have been called acquaintances, rivals
27:41And yes, most probably enemies
27:45But I happen to have a very unique perspective on Monica Quartermain
27:52And I think you all should know it
27:56Like Laura, I too shared a passion with Monica
28:10Everyone knows what I shared with Monica
28:13The nurses ball
28:16As the founder and organizing the ball from the beginning
28:21I worked very, very closely with Monica
28:24She was chief of staff
28:25And she was chairman of the board
28:28And I could not have asked for a better partner
28:32As a doctor, she saw the devastating consequences of AIDS and HIV
28:37Up close, firsthand
28:39And it was so wonderful to know that Monica was as every bit devoted to that cause
28:45As I am
28:46And Monica performed at Minnie Balls
28:50Which I'm sure you remember
28:51She was amazing
28:52And she was also so amazingly generous with her time
28:56And her money
28:57And I could not ever have done it without her
29:01You know, I'm going to really miss having somebody that, uh, cared
29:05As much about our very special event
29:09Like me, she cared like I did
29:12And, of course, we also shared a husband
29:19The dearly departed Alan
29:22And I know what you're all thinking
29:26I can see it on your faces
29:27This is a bit unorthodox
29:29The other woman speaking at the memorial
29:33But, um
29:33Monica believed in facing things head-on
29:37So that's what I'm doing
29:38Head-on
29:39We hated each other
29:40I mean
29:42Through the years
29:44Because of Alan
29:45We really, really hated each other
29:47I want you to stop seeing my husband
29:51Because if you don't, Lucy
29:53I will make sure that the hospital knows
29:56Exactly what a cheap little tramp
29:58They have running the daycares
30:00Oh, wait a minute, Monica
30:02What?
30:03You know, you really shouldn't make such high-handed threats
30:05What's that old saying?
30:06They say, you know, that old adage
30:08People who live in glass houses
30:10What exactly are you implying?
30:13And boy, Alan and Monica could fight
30:16You know, on separate occasions
30:19Sometimes they would just leave
30:20But they always came back
30:23Because they were the loves
30:25Of each other's lives
30:27Always
30:29So I guess what we can learn from
30:31Alan and Monica
30:33Is that love doesn't look the same
30:34To every couple
30:35But true love
30:38Well, we all know it when we see it
30:40You know, over the years
30:43We did make our peace
30:45And I'm going to miss her
30:47And I'm sorry she's gone
30:50But I'm just so happy
30:54To know that she and Alan
30:56They're back together again
30:58Is no one else going to speak
31:14From our family?
31:15Lucy was right
31:43Monica loved Alan
31:47She loved him so much
31:50That she took me in
31:52When I was a baby
31:53She chose to be my mother
31:58And from that moment on
32:01She was my mom
32:04No matter how much
32:06I try to distance myself
32:08No matter how much
32:08I try to push her away
32:09She
32:10She let me be my own person
32:14And go my own way
32:16And she just had
32:17Faith
32:20And trust
32:21That I would find my way
32:22Back to her
32:23And eventually
32:28I did
32:29Jason
32:30No matter what
32:32Has been said
32:33In anger
32:34You are my son
32:38And I love you
32:42I wasted so much time
32:49It took me so long
32:53To figure out
32:53That Monica wasn't
32:54Trying to make me
32:55Something I wasn't
32:56It was that she really
32:58Just
33:01Just loved who I was
33:03You know the same way
33:06She um
33:07She loved everybody
33:10In her family
33:13Unconditionally
33:13She told me once
33:17That I wouldn't
33:17Be able to see all
33:19The forms love could take
33:22Until I had a child of my own
33:25And she was right
33:27It wasn't until I had a son
33:32That I realized
33:34What I saw on her face
33:38Every day
33:39Was love
33:45You know sometimes
33:47It would come out as laughter
33:48Sometimes frustration
33:50But behind it
33:51There was always love
33:53And it was that kind of love
33:57That made her the best mom
34:01To Emily
34:05And AJ
34:08And to me
34:09So
34:11Speaking for
34:14All her kids
34:16I just
34:20I just really want to say
34:21Thank you
34:22Thank you for being here
34:26I don't think I said it enough
34:47But I love you
34:53But I love you mom
34:53I love you
35:01What are you waiting for?
35:25Tracer
35:26Are you sure you don't want to?
35:27The family decided
35:29You would be the last one to speak
35:30Get up there
35:31People are waiting
35:32Mother
35:33Everyone will be happy to wait
35:35If you need a minute
35:35To collect your thoughts
35:36I don't
35:37He's the one
35:38That's holding things up
35:39Okay
35:44Hi
35:52I'd like to thank you all
35:55For coming out today
35:57That means a lot to me
35:59And my family
36:00To see you all here
36:01I grew up
36:04Hearing stories
36:05About the legendary
36:07Dr. Monica Cordomay
36:08You know people
36:10They talked about
36:11What a brilliant surgeon
36:12She was
36:13And how much
36:14They respected her
36:15But to me
36:18She
36:18She was just grandma
36:21It wasn't until later
36:25That I found out
36:26That she was
36:27This powerful woman
36:28Busy saving lives
36:30And while I understood
36:33That intellectually
36:34It didn't feel that way
36:36She always made time
36:39To sit with me
36:41And ask me about my day
36:42And it didn't matter
36:46If I was
36:47In elementary school
36:49Or at an office
36:50At ELQ
36:51She uh
36:52She made the time
36:54And I had kids of my own
36:57She made time for them too
36:59I consider myself very
37:02Very lucky
37:04To have gotten to spend
37:07The time that I did
37:08With my grandmother
37:09Over these past few years
37:10And there's some
37:12Consolation in knowing
37:13That
37:14I shall never really be gone
37:16And not as long
37:19As we remember her
37:20So I hope
37:22That you all help us
37:23In remembering
37:25And celebrating
37:26The incredible life
37:27That she lived
37:28By joining us
37:30Back at
37:30At Monica's house
37:34So
37:38Unless
37:39There's anyone else
37:41Who would like to say something
37:42Next
38:09General Hospital
38:10She was just one of us
38:11Monica was the best of us
38:13I'll help you remember
38:14Deal
38:14She shows up at the house
38:15I think that'll say even more
38:17I will stop
38:18Nothing
38:19Don't leave us in suspense
38:21It's here
38:21Why the hell
38:22Are you trespassing?
