I am truly sorry for your loss. Gods Speed to you and family.
What do you say… I’ve known you almost my whole life. We graduated together and went through each grade together. You will never be forgotten. I am very sad about your passing and wish I could have told you farewell, until we meet again, my “good ole” buddy.
Dear Moore Family-- Thank God, He made it home! Your family is loved dearly.
I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.
Sharon and children, Dane was loved by all who knew him. He was our CPR & FIRST AIDE instructor for Blue Ridge Community Action Adult Day Care & Child Care for 15 plus years. He always made it fun but was very serious about how important it was that we were able to perform each task in saving a life. Our God has truly received him into to his presence and one day, we'll see him again. Much love & Prayers to you Sharon and to his precious children. ❤️🙏
