Mr Moore drove my bus for years and was so loved by everyone around him. He was special to everyone at Emma.
I send my sympathy to the family at this time of loss. Mr. Moore is remembered as a good man at the school. He worked there when I started teaching. May it help to know others care.
I can remember how sweet Calvin was when I attended Victory as a child. I will never forget his sweet little smile! I know you guys will miss him deeply; but, just remember ‘what a glorious day it will be when we all see our loved ones and our heavenly Father when we get Home’.
My simpathy to your family. I have know Calvin for some years being Dr. Glance’s nurse. He always made me laugh when he would come in the office and I would say how are you, Calvin? and he would say Huh! stating that he could not hear so well. He always wore a smile on his face. Though I am no longer Dr. Glance’s nurse I miss him and Edith, both.
With much regard,
