My amazing, wonderful and loving family.I thank you for all your love, comfort, compassion, support and laughter. This past year has been full of many life changing events. My last entry in Dads memorial book. I want to use Dads words spoken to us on 5-4-2012. "I've had a great life. Been loved and cherished by you, my family. I want the same for my kids.. be loved and cherished as I have loved all of you. Stay close to each other, take care of Vicki. Lets go all out for Christmas this year!" My sweet family celebrate daddy by living each moment to the fullest. Live with love and happiness. Daddy- vaya con dios. I love you and miss you. Stacy Gaye Moore

I write this for my siblings whom I love so dearly.
Papa Bear and his Cubs.
Time moves on yet Papa Bear ever watchful of his five well loved cubs.
Papa is no longer physically with us to
keep us from danger or give hugs and just be available at all hours. Yet each cub longs for Papa in different ways. Papa bear knew this would be the case. So he talked with each beloved cub and gave words of love and encouragement. Papa bear knew each of his cubs very well and knew what what they needed to fulfill their lives to be happy,cherished,loved as he had loved them imperfections and things about each that delighted him. Each cub recieved the part of Papa's spirit they needed most. CUB'S, look to your heart, your special gift of strenght is wrapped around your heart holding you loving you and pushing you to fulfill the love and promise of all thats meant to be yours. Meanwhile Papa sits back and watches and waits.
Dad's enjoyed some of the show so far and has had a few good belly laughs.
Remember the main promise was to take care of Vicki and protect her. Please guys lets do all we can to always put her feelings first and love her and do for her as much as she'll let us.Vicki we love you very much forever and always.
love stacy

Happy fathers day. Daddy, Dad, CRM, grandpa Creig and grandpa. The hole in my heart I dont think will ever go away. And I'm afraid that I will never be ok. I want to thank you for being such amazing dad. You showed us how to work for what we wanted. And to have pride in everyhing we did. Showing us what a hard day's work was, But always made sure we had the afternoon basketball and volleyball game. Everyone came over to play because dad was home. Thank You for always showing us the finer things in life. Thankyou for teaching my how to tie my shoes left hand.I miss you so much it hurts in the pit of my stomach. It seems every day gets harder. i love with all heart

I'll try not to catch my top on fire this time. love you so much dad. Your smart daughters are going to post my favorite picture of the two of us.I'm almost done making my own little piece of Colorado right here in Jayhawk land.

Stacy and Family...
I am thinking about you all. Stacy is the only one of you I really know. That being said, I am sure she learned a lot about kindness, generosity, and patience from your dad (grandpa). He must have been a great man...

To Stacy, PJ, Val, Emily and Sarah,
Again I want to express my deepest sympathy to you Stacy and to all of your family for the sudden loss of your father and grandpa. Stacy in all the conversations about your family over the past several years, I learned how lucky you were to have such a great father. You always talked highly about your dad and you always respected his opinion. I wish I would have had the honor of meeting him. I know you all must miss him terribly. Keep the memories flowing and keep his spirit alive. He lives in each one of you.
Love and Peace be with you!
Your friend forever...Carey

Vicki(my sweet Scarlett),This guest book will be your gift. Anyone may write a remberance of Dad. I wanted to share some of my sweet memories of you and Dad. I will always thank God for the blessing of you coming into our lives. Daddy loved you so much and you always made him laugh and you both blessed us with Ty. He is a level headed and kind man. You both raised a wonderful son. Vicki, I will never forget your devotion to Dad as you slept on the sofa to be near him and a woke to his every movement. I cry when I remember you crawling across the floor to him to make sure he was comfortable or if he needed anything.The greif I feel can't even compare to yours.Dad made us promise to always look after you.He did'nt even need to ask we will always love and cherish you as Daddy did.Our Mom thanks God every day for you and the love you and Dad shared your joy and happiness. I've been thinking alot about what daddy said that all he ever wanted for all of us girls is to be as lucky as he was to be loved by 2 wonderful wives,and for all of us kids to be loved as deeply as he loved us and as he'd been loved. And that he'd lived a great life and enjoyed all of it. That gives me joy and am so glad that he is no longer in pain. Vicki, I love you so. I will help you and Ty anyway I can.

Stacy and family,
I''m so sorry that you all have had to suffer such a huge loss. I know how much you love your dad, and know that the things he taught you and the love he gave you will live on through you and your family. We can tell what a great father he was by the amazing children and grandchildren he raised. Love to you and all your family.

Well Dad it has been one week since you left us. And I have caught myself wanting to pick up the phone and call you. I am so lost without you! Life is just a haze. I told you that it would crush me if anything happened to you. Little did I know that it would be a million times worse. Dad I know that I will see you again.. I LOVE YOU. Kim

To my dear friend Stacy & her loving family-
I wish you all peace and love for now and always. I never had the opportunity to meet Creig, but I know how much he was loved by Stacy. I know this worked out the way it was supposed to; you all were there for him at the end, and there for each other, and that is such a blessing. My thoughts and love are with you all, now and always Love, Linda Ransopher

Grandpa, it's hard to believe you're really gone I can't bring myself to realize it. I will see you again one day I know. I've always loved going to yours and Vicki's house for the holidays or just to visit. Some of my best memories were there. You were truly an amazing Grandpa. Much love to Vicki, Ty, my mom and Aunts. I love and miss you. Finally in Peace. Love, Em

Daddy,As we all looked through our family pictures. I was reminded of how very blessed we were to have you as our Dad. You were a straight shooter from the beginning to the end. Anytime I had a hard decision to make you were my first phone call. Your advice was sound and logical, given within seconds and always peppered with a few choice words that never failed to make me laugh. All of us girls are so lucky that you told us and showed us at every opportunity how deeply you loved each of us and Ty.To me you were always larger than life and had my back emotionally and would move mountians to protect me. I will live the rest of my life rembering this one line you gave me. "You are your father's daughter, you are just as strong as I am and don't take anyone's crap." I love you daddy and thank you for giving me such a wonderful loving life.
