As time went on she eventually put herself in the middle of things, with people all around her. Suddenly she became confident in her movements and just plain talking. What a transformation.

Tove was a wonderful presence in the Kalamazoo area and I always enjoyed bumping into her over the years. Her intuition and insight always amazed me. I will miss seeing her. I'm sure she is happy.

I will miss our ," Just stop it!" e-mails going back and forth. Tove's notes and jokes were always the best ones. And she always wrote me back. Will miss you, my good girlfriend..Chris Gola

Never did I conceive of a World without Tove Moon...ineffable. I am bereft... Never could I have dreamed of someone as perfectly up for the job of her amazing Mother as is her Mary. My heart and my love go out to you today & always, Dear Friend.

Tove, I loved you as a best friend. You always supported me. I wish I could have been your friend when you were a Hippi in London. R.I.P my friend. I will miss you. Peace

I miss your beauty, your joy, and your love every damn day. Mary is like a mini-Tove and so sweet. She will never go without love as long as I draw a breath in this world. Be at peace, my friend.

So, so sorry to lose Tove. The world will miss her.
