It is with great sadness that we say good-bye to Moya. Although our family has never met her, Moya was always talked about at great length by her loving brother, Terry. Terry has been a best friend to our family, but in particular to Sonya for over 37 years! We really got a "kick" out of the fact that Moya loved Reality television... "Dancing With the Stars, Survivor, American Idol, The Bachelor"... We thought it was so "cool" that someone who was as young as over 80 years would love to watch these shows! We know she will be missed greatly by everyone! We hope that time will lessen the sadness and the pain of Moya leaving us all. You're in out thoughts. God Bless.. Love: Sonya, Noel (Babe), Karsten and Alicia Gulbransen XOXO
