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
06:34Was 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
06:51You know, the family
06:52Was supposed to be here by now
06:53But
06:53Looks like he's handling pretty well
06:56Excuse me
06:58Michael
07:02I'm so sorry for your loss
07:04Your grandmother was
07:06A remarkable woman
07:07Thank you
07:08And thank you both
07:09For being here
07:10It's our honor to 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, but 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, a good idea
07:39Because from what I was told
07:40Monica's memorial is
07:41Private
07:43Service
07:45I'm her son
07:46I'm her son
07:46Yeah
07:47The son that's still recovering
07:48From gunshot wounds
07:49And she should still be
07:50In a hospital bed
07:51Drew, nobody humanly
07:54Expects you to
07:55Go ahead and say it
07:55Martin
07:56The family doesn't want me there
07:59Well, I don't care about them
08:01I don't care about what they think of me
08:04I have every right to be there
08:07Yeah, maybe so
08:08But things between you and Monica
08:10This is not about how
08:12How Monica and I ended up
08:14Okay, she'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 things were lately
08:26Okay, she still
08:27She reached out to me
08:29What'd you say?
08:31I never returned her call
08:37I just, I
08:39I thought that she was calling
08:41Because of the steps that I'd taken
08:42To, to protect Scal
08:45You mean the restraining orders
08:46You'd taken out of members of her
08:48I thought that she was gonna side
08:50With the rest of the family
08:51Against me
08:52And
08:52And I'll never know if I was right
08:57I just never
08:58I never imagined that it would be
08:59The last time I ever got a chance
09:01To talk to her
09:01No
09:01No, how could you?
09:04I think with everything going on
09:05I just, um
09:06I lost sight of how important
09:10She was to me
09:11And I'm always gonna regret that
09:14But I'm not gonna let my anger
09:18Against the rest of the family
09:21Stop me from saying goodbye
09:23To my mom
09:24Thank you
09:29Thank you both for coming today
09:31Of course
09:32You know, my mom
09:35Um, she always told me how much she liked it
09:38When you dropped by
09:38I loved hanging out with Monica
09:41She was always such a good friend to me
09:43And when Maxie had her heart surgery
09:46It was Monica's hands that gave my daughter new life
09:50She was a brilliant surgeon
09:52She was a brilliant surgeon
09:52In fact, she was just a brilliant period, you know
09:56It used to drive me a little bit crazy
09:58When everybody always talked about the amazing Dr. Monica
10:01Quartermain
10:02But truth be told
10:03I was jealous
10:04But, you know, the truth really be told
10:08Monica was no saint, actually
10:10Stop it
10:11She was a brilliant doctor
10:15And, um
10:16Her family mattered more to her than anything
10:19It's nice that the Quartermain's asked you to speak
10:25Do you know what you're gonna say?
10:28I've got a pretty good idea
10:29It's actually kind of hard to narrow it down
10:32Because Monica and I have been through so much together
10:35I've been hearing great things about the wellness group
10:40Saved my life
10:42So I've heard
10:43The one here at GH is almost up and running
10:45I'm thinking maybe that's something that 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 a full-time career and a family
10:58And battles a life-threatening disease and wins
11:01And still has time to launch a major support group
11:05Please, you are exhausting me
11:08And I will take all the help I can give
11:10I think I will just speak from the heart
11:14And hope that I can find the words to express what Monica meant to me
11:19I hope it's okay that I'm here
11:25I'm glad you came
11:27I know it probably wasn't an easy decision
11:30I'm not here as a member of the family
11:34I'm here for Monica
11:35She didn't even know we were related
11:38And she welcomed me into her home
11:40I wanted to honor her memory
11:42I just hope other people don't get the wrong idea
11:44You can't control what other people think
11:48I appreciate you being here
12:00Monica would have been so touched that 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 how talented you are
12:17True
12:18Better go find my seat now
12:21Yeah
12:22Yeah, I mean, you're welcome to sit with us
12:26If you'd like
12:27Oh, thanks
12:27I'm okay
12:30I'll see you all in there
12:32Yeah
12:32Well, uh, I mean, he's here, right?
12:48So that's a good thing
12:49Yeah, it'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 me, everyone
13:25Uh, actually, Jason 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 what Monica would have won
14:25I know it is
14:27Just like I know
14:30That we would have reconciled if we had more time
14:34She wouldn't have called me if 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 someone 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
15:12I'm not gonna let Jason pretend like he's Monica's only son
15:16You 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
15:29To 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?
15:43On behalf of my family
15:45I want to thank you all for coming today
15:47We're here to honor
15:51Monica, Bard, Quartermain
15:55Now I'm sure none of you will be surprised to know
15:58That Monica had some very strong opinions
16:01About 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 and 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 with Monica
16:52She was the anchor
16:55Of our family
16:56And she was always ready
16:58To welcome people
16:59Into
17:00Her
17:01House
17:03Oh, come on Tracy
17:05Let's not argue
17:07We're going to be welcoming
17:08A new baby
17:09Into my house
17:10The house that Alan gave me
17:13Oh, my God
17:14Oh, my God
17:14Monica
17:14Can you let one day go by without
17:17Why are you laughing?
17:20Because it gets you every time
17:23I have to be honest with you
17:25Our house is
17:28Just feels very empty
17:30Without her
17:32And I think we're all 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, it's not going to be easy for him
17:48People are tough
17:50Well, he is
17:52He's tough
17:53And so are you, Olivia
17:54And this place wouldn't really be
17:59A home without you being here
18:01I want you to think of this
18:06As your house, Olivia
18:08It's going to take us some time
18:10To figure out how 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 and family
18:39Thank you
18:41For me
18:42For being a part of my life
18:44I have so many beautiful memories
18:48Of all of you
18:49That I hope you do too
18:52Please
18:54Share them with each other
18:56And be happy
19:00I'm sorry to leave you
19:02But I've had a wonderful life
19:05That I truly loved
19:07Just as I love
19:10All of you
19:12I've known Monica
19:23Almost my entire life
19:25Because my grandmother
19:28Audrey Hardy
19:29Considered her to be
19:30One of her closest friends
19:32And they worked together
19:34At General Hospital
19:35And my grandmother
19:38Who's not easily impressed
19:41Used to tell me
19:42That she had the utmost respect
19:46For Monica as a doctor
19:47So when I started working
19:50At G.A.H.
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
20:06Was
20:06So patient
20:08And so willing
20:09To teach anyone
20:11Who was willing
20:12To learn
20:13No matter their position
20:15When she looked
20:17At all of us
20:18She
20:18She saw people
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 time with
20:32And connected with
20:34And she treated them
20:36With
20:36Honesty
20:37And compassion
20:39And they loved her for it
20:42And it was the same
20:45For all of us
20:46All the staff
20:48At G.A.H.
20:49We were
20:50Her second family
20:52And she took care of us
20:54Just like she took care
20:57Of the Quartermains
20:58And she encouraged us
21:01Every single day
21:02To be the best version
21:03Of ourselves
21:05And we loved her for that
21:08She also inspired me
21:11To be the best version
21:15Of myself
21:15And on the days
21:19That I just
21:19Couldn't
21:21She forgave me
21:23And I loved her for that
21:28I wish I had gotten
21:30To know my grandchild
21:31I know
21:33It doesn't matter
21:35How I know
21:36I just do
21:37Dr. Quartermain
21:38Elizabeth
21:39I am a widow
21:41And I've lost Emily
21:42I've lost A.J.
21:44Jason is my only
21:46Surviving child
21:47Now you tell me
21:50If you were me
21:51Wouldn't you want to know
21:54If you had another grandchild?
21:58I was really lucky
21:59To be a part
22:00Of both of
22:02Monica's families
22:04And my son Jake
22:06Was really lucky
22:07To be her grandson
22:10Good morning
22:14First of all
22:16I have to say
22:17That I was truly honored
22:18When the Quartermains
22:19Asked me to speak here
22:21This morning
22:22Like Elizabeth
22:24I too
22:25Knew Monica
22:26For most of my life
22:28As a matter of fact
22:30Some of you may know this
22:31When I was a young teenager
22:3315 years old
22:34I volunteered
22:35At General Hospital
22:37As a candy striper
22:38And that's when
22:41I met Monica
22:43And I was just
22:46So impressed
22:47With how poised
22:49She was
22:50You know
22:50And then as the years
22:51Went on
22:52I watched her
22:53Navigate her way
22:54Around
22:55The Quartermain family
22:58Something
22:59That I think
23:00Even the Quartermains
23:01Themselves
23:02Might say
23:02Is not such
23:03An easy task
23:04But then again
23:07Every family
23:09Has their own
23:10Unique way
23:11Of expressing
23:12Their love
23:13And even though
23:15Monica married
23:16Into the Quartermains
23:17She was
23:18A Quartermain
23:20Through
23:21And through
23:22As a matter of fact
23:24Another job
23:25That I had
23:25When I was a young woman
23:26Was working for Monica's
23:28Father-in-law
23:30Edward Quartermain
23:31Who was
23:32A formidable
23:33And intimidating
23:35Man
23:35But even
23:37At my tender age
23:38I could see
23:39How much
23:40Edward
23:40Truly loved
23:42And respected
23:44Monica
23:45For your father's sake
23:47I hope that we can all
23:48Live
23:49Happy lives
23:51From now on
23:51You do love him
23:55As much as I do
23:56Don't you?
23:57Yes I do
23:58And I know the reason
24:01That he is feeling
24:02As well as he is
24:03Because you've taken
24:05Such good care of him
24:06Since he's had
24:06His heart attack
24:07You know I think
24:08I could go to like you
24:09Little by little
24:11Now
24:12Now
24:12Don't get carried away
24:13I know that Monica saw
24:33Caring for her patients
24:35As an act of reverence
24:37The only people she loved
24:40More were her own family
24:42And I know she loved them
24:44Very much
24:45And she treasured
24:47What time she had
24:49With them
24:49Sadly
24:52Monica's life
24:53Also saw
24:54An awful lot of loss
24:55She lost her son
24:58AJ
24:59And her two daughters
25:01Emily and Don
25:02And then finally
25:03Her husband
25:05Alan
25:05But those losses
25:07Along with her battles
25:10Against
25:10Breast cancer
25:12And alcoholism
25:14Only served to
25:16Deepen
25:17Her compassion
25:18For others
25:19That's for Maxie
25:21She heard you were
25:23In the hospital
25:23She tells everybody
25:25You're the person
25:26Who saved her life
25:27She knows you're
25:28Going to be okay
25:29Because
25:29You're a general hospital
25:31And it's the best hospital
25:33In the whole wide world
25:34And it has the best
25:35Doctors and nurses
25:36And she's right
25:37You think
25:47Maxie for me
25:48And I will
25:49I'll bite her a note
25:51Monica's generosity
25:54Her philanthropy
25:55Are two
25:57Of the biggest reasons
25:59That General Hospital
26:00And even the city
26:02Of Port Charles itself
26:03Are the amazing places
26:06That they are today
26:07I will miss
26:10Monica
26:11With all of my heart
26:13But I know
26:15That she lives on
26:16In her family
26:18And in her legacy
26:22At General Hospital
26:23What?
26:38Mother, that's your cue
26:39Are you really
26:48Not going to say
26:49Anything about Monica?
26:51For Jim
26:51Tracy has to speak
26:55If she doesn't
26:56She's going to regret it
26:57For the rest of her life
26:58I agree
26:59But it's not
27:00Our call to make
27:01You know what?
27:04Maybe
27:04Maybe she just needs
27:05Someone
27:06To buy her
27:08A little more time
27:08Lucy
27:09Lucy
27:10Lucy
27:11Lucy
27:11Lucy
27:12Good morning
27:20Everybody
27:21I was not
27:24Asked to speak
27:24Or scheduled to speak
27:26Why would I be
27:29Really
27:29You know
27:29I am not
27:31Part of Monica's family
27:33And
27:34We weren't really
27:36Friends per se
27:37But over the years
27:38We have been called
27:39Acquaintances
27:41Rivals
27:41And yes
27:43Most probably
27:44Enemies
27:45But I happen to have
27:47A very unique perspective
27:49On
27:50Monica Quarterman
27:52And
27:53I think you all
27:55Should know it
27:56Like Laura
28:06I too shared
28:08A passion
28:09With Monica
28:10Everyone knows
28:12What I shared
28:13With Monica
28:13The nurses ball
28:16As the founder
28:18And
28:19Organizing the ball
28:21From the beginning
28:21I worked very very closely
28:23With Monica
28:24She was chief of staff
28:25And she was chairman
28:27Of the board
28:28And I could not have
28:29Asked for a better
28:30Partner
28:32As a doctor
28:33She saw the
28:34Devastating consequences
28:36Of AIDS
28:36And HIV
28:37Up close
28:38First hand
28:39And
28:39It was so wonderful
28:41To know that Monica
28:42Was as
28:43Every bit devoted
28:44To that cause
28:45As I am
28:46And Monica
28:49Performed at
28:49Many balls
28:50Which I'm sure
28:51You remember
28:51She was amazing
28:52And she was also
28:53So amazingly generous
28:55With her time
28:56And her money
28:57And I could not
28:58Ever have done it
29:00Without her
29:01You know
29:02I'm going to really
29:02Miss having somebody
29:03That cared
29:05As much
29:06About our very special
29:08Event
29:09Like me
29:10She cared
29:11Like I did
29:12And of course
29:15We also shared
29:17A husband
29:19The dearly departed
29:22Alan
29:22And I know
29:25What you're all
29:26Thinking
29:26I can see it
29:27On your faces
29:27This is a bit
29:28Unorthodox
29:29The other woman
29:31Speaking at the
29:32Memorial
29:32But
29:33Monica believed
29:36In facing things
29:36Head on
29:37So that's what
29:37I'm doing
29:38Head on
29:39We hated each other
29:40I mean
29:42Through the years
29:44Because of Alan
29:45We really
29:46Really hated
29:47Each other
29:47I want you to
29:50Stop seeing my husband
29:51Because if you don't
29:53Lucy
29:53I will make sure
29:55That the hospital
29:55Knows exactly
29:56What a cheap
29:57Little tramp
29:58They have
29:59Running the daycares
30:00Oh wait a minute
30:02Monica
30:02What?
30:03You know
30:03You really shouldn't
30:04Make such high handed
30:05Threats
30:05What's that old saying
30:06They say
30:07You know
30:07That old adage
30:08People who live
30:09In glass
30:10Houses
30:11What exactly
30:11Are you implying
30:12And boy
30:14Alan and Monica
30:15Could fight
30:16You know
30:18On separate occasions
30:19Sometimes they would
30:20Just leave
30:20But they always
30:22Came back
30:23Because they were
30:24The loves
30:25Of each other's
30:27Lives
30:27Always
30:29So I guess
30:30What we can learn
30:31From Alan and Monica
30:33Is that love
30:34Doesn't look the same
30:34To every couple
30:35But
30:36True love
30:38Well we all know it
30:39When we see it
30:40You know
30:42Over the years
30:43We did make our peace
30:45And um
30:47I'm gonna miss her
30:47And I'm sorry
30:49She's gone
30:50But
30:52I'm just so happy
30:54To know
30:55That she
30:55And Alan
30:56They're back
30:58Together again
30:59Is no one else
31:14Gonna speak
31:14From our family?
31:15No
31:15Lucy
31:42Was right
31:43Monica
31:46Monica loved
31:46Alan
31:47She loved him
31:49So much
31:50That
31:50She took me in
31:52When I was a baby
31:53She um
31:56She chose
31:57To be my mother
31:58And from that
32:01Moment on
32:01She
32:03She 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
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
33:17I wouldn't
33:17Be able to see all
33:19The forms love
33:21Could take
33:22Until I had a child
33:24Of my own
33:25And she was right
33:27It wasn't until
33:30I had a
33:31A son
33:32That I realized
33:34What I saw
33:37On her face
33:38Every day
33:39Was love
33:45You know sometimes
33:47It would come out
33:48As laughter
33:48Sometimes frustration
33:50But behind it
33:51There was always love
33:53And it was that
33:56Kind of love
33:57That made her
34:00The 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
34:21To say thank you
34:22Thank you for being here
34:26I don't think I said it enough
34:47But I love you
34:53I love you
34:53But I love you mom
34:53I love you
35:01What are you waiting for?
35:22Tracy
35:26Are you sure
35:26You don't want it?
35:28The family decided
35:29You would be the last one
35:30To speak
35:30Get up there
35:31People are waiting
35:32Mother
35:33Everyone will be happy
35:34To 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
35:57It 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 Kortemang
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
36:34Didn'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
37:02Very
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 consolation
37:13In knowing that
37:14I shall never really be gone
37:16And not as long as 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 wasn't 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?
