Dear Moore family,

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Dr. Moore. Dr. Moore and Ann and the children have always held a special place in my heart because my first job out of high school was with Dr. Moore. We worked together for nine years and I saw the children growing up. Dr. Moore played a big part in my success in the working field. I am very sorry I can't be with you during this difficult time but I am out of town visiting with family. Please know that I am with you in heart, thoughts and prayer.

Love to all of you!

Dear Entire Moore Family:



Please accept my deepest sympathies. I was so very sorry to hear about your great loss. My most sincere thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I truly adored your father and husband, and always looked forward to seeing him and hearing about his visits with my parents. He was always attentive to our family and me, and for that alone I will always hold a special place in my heart for "Dr. Moore".

Although I have not seen many of you for several years, I've had the pleasure of listening to him brag about both his children and grandchildren. You were a true blessing to him.

May God Bless all of you during this difficult time.



Most Sincerely,

Peggy (Schuh) Hayes, Lexington, KY
