Mikey - I just found out today from Suzi about Moira. I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I know she was the love of your life and has been since we were in high school. Although we haven't kept in touch over the years I wish I were there for you during this difficult time. Friends of our youth are friends forever. That is how I think of you and as I thought of Mo. She is, and always will be, one of the four marshmallows (remember - Moira, Suzi, Rena and me - because - we were all soft).

I'm not sure if you'll see this so I will drop you a line at your home address.

Love Michelle

When we’re growing up we don’t think of tough times like this. That’s the beauty of being a kid! Inevitably in life we are forced to face the harsh realities that the people we love move on. Your mom has moved on to the most beautiful, peaceful place. It’s hard to let go, and impossible to forget, but you’re not expected to. She will live on forever through her 4 kids, and her grandchildren. She was outspoken and earned respect from others. She’ll surely never be forgotten.
With Love and deepest sympathy
