Michael, Michael - you have been on my mind lately. I sure wish Hannah could experience the world with you. She is smart and silly all at the same time! I think you would be amazed at how music and media have changed. We quote you often. Miss you!

15 years since you went to the Lord. I think about you a lot. Not really sure what to say. I know your suffering is over and that sometimes you visit me. I know this sounds strange, but I am a firm believer that vivid dreams of someone passed, is them visiting. I hope that you, Jani and Hannah, have great lives . That's what Mike would want. All my love.

Dear Jani and Hannah,
It's hard to believe that it's been 11 years since Mike left us. I think of him often and talk about some of the crazy times we had with my friends. Some of them even know him now! If we keep carrying him in our hearts and thoughts, he will always be with us.
With love,

Hannah,
Your Daddy's love for you will always be precious. I will promise to answer your questions to the best of my ability even though I may not be able to explain everything the way he might have. I am able to tell you, no matter what our journey may be together as mother and daughter I love you and will be there for you. You will be loved ALWAYS AND FOREVER! Daddy and I use to say LYAAF (Love You Always And Forever) to each other and to you and I promise to continue for all time.
Love always,
Mommy

Hannah,
As you can see your Daddy brightened many people's lives. What I remember most is him going out to eat with us (women teachers), listening to us talk & joining right in & making us laugh about some of our trying times with children. He was right. You have to look at the bright side of things. I know he is proud of you & realizes how much you miss him & yet you still remember the best times with him. That's important. Keep that up. He was a very special person & I'm so happy I was a part of his life. Love you, Aunt Gay :)

Your music collection was a fun playground for a friend this week. It was nice to think about how you would have loved talking to Eric about all the different music he explored in our living room. He was amazed by some of the many things he discovered on the shelves. Wish I knew more to share with Hannah.

This evening while driving around in the rain Hannah requested I replay an Elvis song. Next she shared she thought Daddy was lucky to have met Elvis in heaven.

Jani and Hannah,
Mike would have enjoyed Hannah's Disco party so much. The friends and relatives would have enjoyed his knowledge about the eras of music. I imagine he is doing his best to teach God all about his kind of music. It was good seeing his parents there and knowing Hannah will always be a part of Mike's family. Jani, we love you and although you keep your pain to yourself mostly we recognize there will always be memories that haunt you in some way. We have watched you become so self-assured through all these trials in your life. God will never leave you alone no matter what! All our love and Happy Anniversary Memories!

Today is a week since Hannah turned 7 years old and tomorrow would have been 17 years plus a week of marriage. I wonder what you would have to say to Hannah about these moments. She asks me questions I don't always know the answers to and she wants to hear stories repeated constantly. I don't like being the only storyteller for her. I'm sure I am missing some important chapters that would have enriched the adventures of us. I was asked what my favorite anniversary was and I said our tenth was awesome because that was the day we met Hannah and our family grew. My next favorite would have to be our fifth because you tried so hard to make it special by having Mickey Mouse give me my anniversary ring at breakfast. Another fun anniversary was our second when we went to the Rock House bed and breakfast. It was funny that we bought each other the same bone china Disney figurines as a gift. Moments and memories only from my perspective are not the same.

Father's Day will always be hard for you, Jani and Hannah. Memories of being together will remind you both of the loss of a Dad. But memories are given by God to help us too. They remind you of the blessings of knowing Mike loved and protected you. You will have that legacy as long as you remember. All our love.
June 21, 2009
Another Father's Day without you, it just does not seem possible that we aren't together. Hannah made a card for you and she wanted to have Skyline for dinner -- so that is what we did. Miss you and your sense of humor.
LYAAF,

Jani and Hannah,
The Relay for Life was so beautiful. So many people have been touched by cancer and it is hard to understand why it happens. Lives are cut short or changed forever. God is in every moment we go through, the good and the bad. Mike had both and now ,in heaven, he is watching us have our good and bad moments. He is in a much better place.
You are both in our prayers, Love Mom and Dad

Well, it is the day after our second American Cancer Society Relay for Life Walk in your memory. It is still hard for me to see your name on the luminary bags circling the walking track at Hamilton High School. Every lap I walk there I think about the plans we talked about in our first apartment just across the fence from where we walk for a cure. The power point screen listed your name but it was our daughter's insight that left me speechless. During the luminaria lap it is a time of quiet reflection and remembrance of those who lost their fight and hope for those still fighting cancer and I was trying to quietly share a moment with Hannah. I pointed to the luminaria that spelled HOPE and said to her "isn't that beautiful". Her reply was "yes, but Daddy has the best view of it because he is in heaven".

Jani and Hannah,
Today is Betty and Ed's anniversary. They loved each other alot. Just like you both love each other and Daddy. Mommy and Daddy loved each other very much and you,Hannah, were wanted in their lives so much. I remember Daddy and I talking on the way to a doctor visit about how much he wanted you both to know how much he loved you. Mike, you did show that love and your family will always be the better for it. One of my favorite memories of Easter is when you were sitting on our porch watching Hannah and Jani look for eggs. Then I took a picture of all three of you on the porch with your skull cap on. Very cool. Happy Easter. All our love, Mom and Dad

Hannah,
Wednesday, April 8 you went to the dentist and during that visit you had your first "bite x-rays". I did not realize it was time for them so I had not prepared you for what might take place. As we were leaving the office you shared that they said you did AWESOME and you described how they put a plastic thing in your mouth and took a picture. I told you the picture was called an x-ray and shared that Daddy's job was to take x-rays at a hospital. I also told you again about how Daddy and I met when he took my x-ray. You said, "When I grow up I want to take x-rays like my Daddy". I just smiled at you for a moment, then told you if that was what you wanted to do when you were older I would help you get there as best I could. We may have to ask some of Daddy's friends for help on this topic. I love you very much. I'm positive Daddy would have shared more information with you about taking x-rays if he could have been with us.
Love you always and forever,
Mommy

Hannah,
I loved the conversation we had today. You wanted my "advice" on rock band names. You have shared you want to start a rock band and you are trying to decide who will be the members of the band and what the band's name will be. You told me you have two names in mind -- BLACK MOLD or HEARTS IN CANS. Your Dad would have loved having this conversation with you. His favorite group was Marillion. Your middle name is from his favorite song by this group. Music was very important to him and sharing it with you would have meant the world to him. Keep enjoying the music world. I love how creative you are with all the things that interest you.
Love always,
Mommy

On Saturday, I had a Valentine's Day lunch with your two girls. We ate at LaRosa's and Jani told Hannah how you had once worked there. You are very much part of daily conversation. I have to tell you that your Peace sign is everywhere! T-shirts, PJ's, bags, pretty much everything. And your girls have it all. Who would have thought the influence you would have on fashion?Often I think you are trying to haunt us. But our best memory is when we were shopping at Northgate mall.I sat down with Hannah while we waited for Jani to get the food. The table that we chose had your name scratched in the table top! We had to take a picture of course.
Yesterday Jani and I talked about the amount of influence you each had been on the other. True to form Jani said she would have to make a list to to see who had been more of an influence! ha I know you loved those lists! We often discuss how you would handle a situation and really wish we could do what we imagine you would do. The year has been tough without you Mike. I wonder if you could ever know how much you are missed and the depth of the loss your girls feel. They try to keep smiling and celebrating life they way you would. Jani had quite a rock & roll summer. She certainly added to her concert T-shirt collection. You would be so impressed. She and I took Hannah and Katie to their first concert last year at Riverbend. Such a nice memory to have with our daughters. Kenny Chesney of course! Hannah wore a shirt that says "My dad rocks!" You would think its so cool. I will always remember it as Jani's summer of music. That seems a very fitting way to celebrate you.

Today Hannah and I reflect on many things about you. We took your bear to her cheerleading/game this morning. We had breakfast at Bob Evans (you would have enjoyed doing that with us). Now we plan to spend the day talking about things we remember about our time with you and enjoy some of your favorite things. We love you. We have tried each day to carry on, some days with more grace and bravery than others. You are gone, we are left and we know you would want us to live in the moment.
Gone/Left
Gone is the father’s hand to steady a young daughter as she takes steps in life. Left is a daughter reaching for reassurance.
Gone is the husband’s support when things seem tough. Left is a wife filled with uncertainty.
Gone are the father’s words to encourage his daughter to try again. Left is a daughter scared she will not put her best foot forward when she tries.
Gone is the husband’s embrace and tenderness. Left is a wife struggling with loneliness.
Gone is the father’s presence to show his daughter he will always be there. Left is a daughter feeling alone and different.
Gone is a husband’s relaxed manner at the end of the day. Left is a wife being pulled in many directions, feeling like she comes up short as she collapses into a bed half filled with pillows so the space doesn’t feel overwhelming.
Gone is a father’s unique perspective shared lovingly with his daughter through whispered secrets which always turned to belly laughs. Left is a daughter wondering what her Daddy would think of her accomplishments and what person to try to capture attention from next to fill that hole.
Gone is a husband’s voice whispering inappropriate jokes just to ease the seriousness. Left is a wife hoping humor is not lost forever.
Gone are the father’s storytelling antics and funny faces to help his daughter work through a bad dream. Left is a daughter who struggles for a good night’s sleep and needs her mom to spray the room with monster spray to chase away the bad thoughts.
Gone is the husband’s word of being a partner until we both grow old. Left is a wife wondering what life will hold.
Gone are fifteen years of marriage and five years of parenting. Left are two people trying to find their place, by sorting through memories and creating dreams along the way.

Essence
What captures your essence?
Is it a photograph?
The light reflected in the most spectacular way, illuminating the slightest sparkle. The composition of contrasts may portray the brightest, happiest of your life moments or prove your sparkle is barely a shimmer because heartache is enveloping all you know.
Is it a song?
The lyrics painting the scenes with uncanny resemblance to emotions running through every part of your being. The refrain connects to your most intimate pleasures or slams you against a wall stabbing the smallest corner of your heart's unreachable past.
Is it a poem?
The exquisite words placed ever so gently on a page created to pass the lips of another on their road less traveled. The rhyme of each stanza teasing young love to grow or laying to rest a soul of immeasurable worth.
Is it a moment in time?
The beautiful planet rotating, the seconds tick away another day, the sun rises and sets on the world as we know it each time we blink. The instant your life changes course you attach to snapshots, tunes and words to find the essence of who you were, are and hope to be. Don't be harsh or critical of the reflection in the mirror; strength exudes just because you are standing there.

Dear Jani and Hannah,
I am sitting her thinking about a year ago today. I was unable to sleep because Dad and you were with Mike keeping watch over him at Hospice. We all knew his death was soon to happen. Nothing could prepare you for the actual moment.
No one could show you how hard the grief would be to deal with this past year. Let God comfort you now in this moment. Our hearts and prayers are with you both. Love, Mom and Dad
Merry Christmas, Hannah picked these special slippers for her Daddy.

We are now in 2009 and Hannah has a plan. You would be proud of her, she wants to have a fun year. Sounds like you to me! For New Year's Eve we made a chocolate milkshake toast to a FUN 2009. Today she decided to write me this message-- "liefs wot you maec it sow thets maec it roc" (translated it is "Life's what you make it so let's make it rock!"). It is just another wonderful reminder of how you lived your life and how no matter what happened you thought it ROCKED! I hope I can continue to show her the importance of embracing all life has to offer her, whether it be a small rockin' moment or a huge rockin' moment. All moments are cherished!

Mike,
Happy New Year 2009! We stopped by your grave yesterday and someone had left some red poinsettas--they were pretty. It seems so strange to visit you at a cementary. I know we all die sometime and My hope is that someday we will see you again in heaven to laugh and find a peace that passes all understanding. Maybe even have dinner again together. Miss you! Love

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Merry Christmas Daddy. I got a Slinky and had races with Old Grandpa. My Slinky would go down the stairs better than Grandpa's Slinky. Mommy brought up your Slinky for us to try, it did an awesome job. I wish you could have been here to see it. I love you!

Merry Christmas Mike, Hannah bought you some slippers for Christmas. We read T'was the Night Before Christmas last night and she was too excited to sleep. This morning she had many "OH MY GOSH" moments when she opened her presents. I stayed up until 2:30 a.m. putting something together for her but she loved it which made it worth the struggle. However, it did remind me of you trying to put her art desk together. Wish you were here, you would have loved seeing her reactions this year. The songs "White Christmas" and "Blue Christmas" are not the same without your added unique lyrics. Hannah created some story with a lego house and a garden of treasures she built with your Dad a couple of days ago. She is playing with a remote control Mustang and having a light saber fight with my parents right now. Peace and love to you!

I wish you peace and joyful moments this Christmas.

Today we would have joked about you appearing to be 10 years older than me. We had a birthday memorial this evening. Hannah knew what she wanted us to do. She is so loving. She wanted you to have a silver watch and a really cool Wizard of Oz ornament. She made you a drawing of Tigger and she wrote you a letter (it was the message I entered for her). We had a cupcake.

Everytime I come to this site the name Legacy reminds me of the ways Mike left you both a legacy of love and a zest for life. A birthday is especially a reminder of that legacy.
Many years ago a baby named Jesus was born on Christmas Day and ir is comforting to know Mike and Jesus are walking together. We love you very much. Love, Mom and Dad

With the beginning of October Mike and I would enjoy the awesome colors of leaves against the blue sky and point out the beauty to Hannah. Yesterday Hannah and I enjoyed that moment just the two of us and I shared with her how much her Daddy would have loved seeing them with us. If you know anything about Mike, you would know that October would bring many scary movies his way. Mike would settle in to watch these scary movies and football as often as he could -- as long as I didn't give him a hard time about it. So, watch a scary movie or football game thinking about how much he would have enjoyed sharing it with you.

One of my favorite memories of Mike a.k.a. "Muffin"...when I was pregnant and we worked together at Fort, he couldn't keep his hands off the belly. Silly Mike! He would rub my tummy and call me Buddha. He made me laugh every time.
I am happy to think that his memories are all whole again.
Jani: Big hugs to you and Hannah!

Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

Jani, it was good to see you and Hannah at the "party at the pond". I could see the hurt still in your eyes, and I wish I could say when that will get better but I don't know. I just hope you know that we are still praying for you. I wish you peace and that isn't always easy. I hope you can focus on Hannah and your time together, b/c it's passes quickly. (I know b/c mine is 36 yrs. old now) Make every day count and know that you are loved beyond measure. Love & prayers to all of you.

We are both missing Daddy and find it hard to understand he is dead. When you talk about him your face lights up. I love hearing what you think Daddy is doing in heaven. A few weeks ago you shared a picture of you and Daddy skateboarding on a rainbow, he would have thought that was wonderful. I love you.
Love,
Mommy

To die so young seems unfair
Does anyone cry, does anyone care?
I walk alone as never before,
Getting through each day has become such a chore.
Like an angel lofted on high,
He soars above us...beginning to fly.
Trying his wings, floating above
Surrounded in hope, surrounded in love.
Weep no more...he seems to say,
Enjoy life and love each day.
Wipe the tears, don't mourn for me.
The pain has ended...no I'm free.

You are a beautiful person Jani and have a beautiful little girl and I wish you both the best for the future. God Bless!

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you Jani, your daughter Hannah and the passing of, one of my favorite people on earth, Mike Moore.
Through our correspondence, I see your love and deep admiration for Mike is so strong I cannot put it to words. With the strength of family shown by your Mom and Dad, you guys will be fine. They'll make sure of it. You are surrounded by friends that love you and care for you. You and Hannah are in our thoughts and prayers. Mike will forever be in my heart. When you people reading this see a digital clock that says 12:34, think Mike Moore.
Your Friend Forever Bob-0

Imagine the possibilities, laugh at yourself and learn something new. These things and more I learned by sharing my life with you. I miss hearing new music with you. We tried to fix as many problems as we could. I love you and miss your smile.

Jani & Miss Hannah,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and all who knew Mike. Though I never had the pleasure to actually meet him I know he was a very special man. You are blessed with knowing him, loving him and having him as a husband and father. Take comfort in knowing he is sitting next to God looking down upon you, as he always will. He will be your guardian angle forever.
Love always,

Dear Jani and Miss Hannah,
We will miss Mike and his funny ways, I can't think of Kodiak Bears or birds without laughing about the night at our house. Mike was our son-in-law and we loved him , We are so glad his pain and disease is finally over. He is celebrating at God's party now! Love, Mom and Dad
