Little Brother, I miss you so much. So hard to believe it's been six years since you passed on to your heavenly home. So many of our family members have joined you there. Mother and Daddy were the first to go, then my son and so many aunts, uncles and cousins and grandparents and ,most recently, my husband, Donald Ray Moore. Some day, I'll meet you there and we will all be together again, standing around the throne of God singing praises to our Heavenly Father. Until then, Your loving sister, Cathy aka Mary Catherine Bess Moore. P.S. Thank you for the wonderful gift you brought me from Thailand, your wife, my precious sister-in-law, Palilai Bess.

Donald,
You have had a journey in life for the last few years that most of us will never know.
When I saw your picture, it immediately drew me back to our high school days and some of the memories that we experienced.
Mary, you made a valiant effort in getting Don back to the states. I know that Don loved and appreciated all that you did for him.
God's blessings to Don for going to Viet Nam and fighting for this nation.
May God continue to bless as Don rests in heavenly places.
