We are very sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Moore. He and Mrs. Moore were such sweet people. I’m just happy I knew them. Our condolences to Joey, Whitney, and the other family members. Now they are together at last, and forever. Peace and Blessings
Our condolences to Joey for the passing of your father. He was a great Little League coach and neighbor. I’ll miss seeing him. He can now join your Mom in eternal peace. God Bless.
I just want to let you know that I’m sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. What has help me to cope with this is scripture from God’s Word the Bible. Isaiah 57:15 ‘For this is what the High and Lofty One says, Who lives forever and whose name is Holy; ‘I reside in the high and holy place, But also with those crushed and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of lowly And to revive the heart of those being crushed.’ This scripture show how the CREATOR will strengthen you. He see that you are lowly in spirit wants to revive you so
you can endure.
Joey, I was sorry to hear about your dad’s death. I know it has been very hard for him since your mom died. Both your parents will always have a special place in my heart. What great childhood memories! The neighborhood will never be the same. My thoughts are with you and Whitney.
