Dear Joseph, I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss although words do not suffice really. I'm dealing with the similar loss of my mother from February. My thoughts and prayers are with your family only time will make things more bearable but don't give up you'll get there. Hang on tightly to those memories, and keep her alive in spirit daily because they can still teach us important lessons by the words they left us in life.

Moira meant so much to us here in Fernandina Beach, Florida where she had many friends. I was her art teacher for many years where she'd attend and be the star of the class. Everyone loved her conversations. We just learned of her passing and many of us are saddened by the news. We had hoped to meet again. She was loved by so many people here between her church at St. Michael's and her art classmates. She loved painting and did a great job at whatever she attempted. She will be missed by many.
