My sympathy to the Moore and Hawks families from the loss of a very spirited lady. It has been a pleasure getting to know her over the past few years. It is a comfort to know she is no longer in pain and her "light" will shine on through all of her blessed family.

I often see the Barbie cloths your Mother/my Aunt Frances sewed for the Coley girls. My grandchildren play with them now. I sent a pink smocked dress she made for my oldest child, Lisa to my youngest grandaughter Baylee. She created heirlooms with her hands and a legacy with her family. May you receive the comfort of God as you remember her and say "til we meet again". Love to my cousins.

To the Family of Mrs. Frances Moore:
I first met your beloved Mother many years ago when I worked for the law firm of Patten, Wornom and Watkins. Your dear Father, James Moore, had just been given a terrible medical diagnosis. Mrs. Moore was always kind in her words and strong in her faith. I will never forget her and how she overcame such great adversity. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
