Missed you at Natalie's wedding on September 21 but saw your beautiful sister and mom! You would have loved the band, especially the great drummer.

Lance and I were in the drum line at Cavespring together. I will never forget how fun and funny he was we had many good times. I was very sad to hear the news while trying to find friends I had lost touch with. He will be missed and my condolences to his family. The world does not have enough people like Lance in it. I wish I had gotten in touch sooner he will never be forgotten.

Lance,
Thank you for so many things. Thank you for living your life with an open mind, for memorable intuitive conversations, for finding humor in most things, for loving animals the way they deserve, for playing and appreciating music, for being my first love :), for being a wonderful addition to your family, for being you!!
Meeting you was refreshing. I just know you are still very much alive in so many people reminding them to dance to the beat of their own drum. It's funny....found a folder I thought I lost with pictures and quotes I wrote down that we must have talked about on the phone. Some quotes were enjoy the company of dogs, enjoy food so that you may enjoy adding nourishment to your body ...don't live to eat, life is simple so stop making it complicated, don't be afraid of death it doesn't exsist, everything goes in circles, etc. hahaha
Good times....until next time...

Dear Steve and Debby,
We hurt for you and with you over the death of your precious son, Lance. Words can not describe what you are going through.
Our 27 year-old son, Kevin, died in November. In the valley of your suffering, lean on each other and pray for strength and faith as you live differently now without Lance. May you know God's grace, peace and love in the days to come.

Lance could always make you laugh. I sat beside him in psychology class our senior year and everyday in class he would have us laughing at him or with him. I always enjoyed that. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Moore Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Lance's passing. I went to school with Lance and graduated with him in 2003. I will never forget his wonderful talent as a snare drum player in the marching band and his gift of making everyone laugh. He always made class and practice so much more fun! He will be missed by so many. I will keep your family and Lance in my prayers.

I was in Marching Band with Lance at Cave Spring. I remember after long days of praticing at band camp Lance always smiled, always lifted spirits, and always kept his enthusiasm. I am sorry for your loss, and will keep your family in my prayers through this time and sorrow.
RIP Lance. I will always cherish our memories together.

Dear Debby, Steve and Lauren,
I know no words can lessen the deep pain that you are feeling right now.
I remember your family with such fondness and was very saddened to read the email from my sister in Roanoke about Lance's death. While I knew Lauren so well when she was little, I think I only babysat Lance once or twice, as I had gone on to college.
Reading the guest book entries makes it obvious to me that your son and brother was a lover of mankind, for however short his time on earth was. He apparently readily demonstrated to all the value he placed on the people in his midst. It makes me feel as though I have missed out on something special and good not to have known him. To raise and know a young man like that is a precious and rare gift.
I have been praying for you and will continue to ask the God all comfort to assuage some of your sadness with the memories of the time you had with your Lance, and the fact that so many shared your deep love and appreciation for him.

Dear Steve, Debby and Lauren,
We were so saddened to hear of Lance's death and pray that you all will be strengthened and comforted by the Lord. The memorial service today was such a wonderful celebration of Lance's life. We know our son Patrick (Knicely) will also be saddened when he returns from Hondorus on Monday and hears about Lance. We were just talking about Lance and some of the other boys from Oak Grove, cub scouts, and band, over Christmas and wondering how they were doing. Lance definitely had a positive impact on those around him. Bless you all.

Moore Family,
Growing up with your family at Covenant and in the neighborhood gave me a chance to watch Lance grow from a spirit filled child to a young adult in high school. I was taking the same journey. This past summer, I ran into Lance on the beach here in Charleston, SC after I had not seen him in probably 4 years. We talked about family, jobs and just life in general. He spoke of how each of you all were doing and his job in Richmond. At that moment, I felt like he had grown from a boy to a man in front of my eyes. I will always cherish his smile and contageous personality.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss.

Dear Steve, Debby, and Lauren,
This loss of Lance is such a deep jolt to us all. We are shaken to appreciate each moment we have with each other;those moments we so take for granted. Since hearing the news of Lance's death on earth, one of our girls remarked upon the most wonderful, cheerful, and so appreciated hug she recieved from him at church this Christmas Eve. That is how we all remember Lance and his giving, sweet spirit. These are the moments he never took forgranted and lived to their fullest. May we all be better human beings for having been touched in some way by Lance and the whole Moore family.
Love,
Rick and Melissa Cranwell

I am deeply grateful that Lance Moore was, and will remain, a part of my life. Such an extraordinary gift for filling others with happiness; such a remarkable capacity to draw out the finest qualities of those around him; such acute sensitivity, curiosity, and sympathy! We met across the chess board many times, and his skill was truly impressive. While I will forever hold dear learning to better play the game by way of his able hands, I will especially cherish learning by way of his noble spirit how to better extract abundance from each passing moment, how to better attune myself to the delicate miracle of life, and how to better love my fellow humans. Thank you, Lance, for enriching my life with your presence.
With love and admiration,

Lance was an amazing person who always had a smile on his face. I remember one of the first nights I saw Lance when I transferred to the University of Richmond and he ran right up to me and introduced me to all of his friends. He was such a charismatic and warm person. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

The most common word in all of the entries in this guestbook is "unique." Never before had I met someone like Lance, and I doubt that I ever will again. He was a great human being, and unique does not begin to describe his personality and zest for life. He will be greatly missed, and I am glad to have had the opportunity to have known him.

Although I have never met your family, I feel connected to you through my son Bijan, who was a pledge brother to Lance as well as lived in Richmond with him. When Bijan told me what happened my heart broke. I know words can not change dark to light but please know that your pain is being felt by many people. Life can be so cruel and without answers. All that we have is each other and I hope you can find some comfort in your family and friends.

I am so sorry for your loss. Lance was a joy to be around her at Bon Secours. He was always happy, I don't think I ever saw him down. He will be missed by me as well as many others here at Bon Secours.
I pray God will bless each of you and give you strength as you go through.

Lance,
I will miss the smiles and laughter you gave our work place everyday. I would see you down the hall and know you were going to make me laugh any minute. Our funny emails back and forth and the times where you made our green team meetings fun! I always ask myself " why do the good ones leave so early" and you my friend, are a prime example of this. You will be missed everyday and your good spirit will stay with me always.

Moore Family, It is with sad heart that I say goodbye to Lance. Lance was a very special young man and a joy to be around. He touched so many people with his positive attitude, joy for life and goofy faces (as you have seen many I am sure). I will especially miss our long conversations about bizarre movies and music. I wish I could help eliviate your pain at this time, but it should bring you happiness to know how special your son was to so many people. I looked forward to going to work just to spend time with such a wonderful soul. I will miss you greatly Lance.

Steve, Debby, and Lauren,
I never knew Lance, but as a fellow parent and friend of Debby from 40 years ago I can look at Lance's picture and see him as a bright and fun person whose cheerful contributions to everyone have been cut short of unlimited potential. There are not enough of "sunshine" types of people on this earth and I know he will be missed immensely by his friends and family. If there is anything we can do please advise us. I know he has found comfort and peace in heaven.

May God be with you during your time of sorrow. Working with Lance at BonSecours was a pleasure. Lance and I was in orientation together on July 7, & 8th 2008, and from there we have worked together. There will never be no one like Lance. God bless you and your family.

The Moore Family,
I've been reflecting back to when I first met Lance at church many years ago, and he has always stood out in my mind as a clever and unique soul. His sense of humor and hilariously bizarre behavior always made seeing him a pleasure, and I know that he's making people smile on the other side. My thoughts are with you.

Steve, Debby & Lauren,
When Lance was in 6th grade, Mary MacMichael recruited me to be a Jr high youth group leader with Shawn & Ken. Lance, along with Logan and Peter, were there to torture me every Sunday. The mischievous things they could do, would be too funny to actually get mad over - it's hard to be mad when I'm laughing. As I watched Lance grow, I began to realize how much I thought of him. So much that I asked him to babysit my son, Spencer. Lance was Spencer's favorite - and Spencer still fondly remembers the times that they would play pool and video games & the few times that Lance would pick him up from daycare.
I am saddended by your loss, but honored to have met such an awesome young man, who has indeed touched many lives.
May God continue to provide you all peace and comfort.
Warmly,
Christa Guthrie

No one has ever had a more generous spirit than did Lance. One of my most recent and favorite memories of Lance was seeing him twirl my 80 year old Grandmother around the dance floor at my wedding this summer. Through our friendships with Lance, our lives have been forever changed for the better. Your smile and laughter are missed already...you'll be in our hearts forever.

I saw Lance only one time. He had his bongos and made everyone in the room smile. His obituary was written in such a loving way that I could not help read every one of these Guest Book entries to find out more about Lance. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Steve, Debbie and Lauren,
You know how much Mary and I love you all. Lance was everything one could possibly wish for in a young man. He was kind, fun, funny, dedicated, a wonderful volunteer at the PCC (along with mom and sister), a leader in the Covenant Youth Group and I could go on. Other entries here are a testament to him. The best comfort I have as a believer is that I will get to see him again one day. That will be a great day! God Bless you Lance.

Dear Moore Family,
I have vivid memories of Lance twirling Lauren and Annie around the dance floor at Annie's wedding, the three of them sporting grins a mile wide. It was obvious to all in the room that Lance was a very special person, and I think that everyone was envious that Lauren had the distinct honor of calling him her brother.
Please know that Lance and your family are in my prayers at this difficult time.
Much love.

I will try to take comfort in the fact that he brought so much joy to the people around him. All of our memories of Lance will continue to brighten our lives and makes us laugh forever.

Throughout the years Lance had many friends that valued his frienship, kindness, & thoughtfullness. I know all of Lance's friends will always keep his memories deeply within their hearts reminding us all how life should be lived. Friends like Lance are few in life & it is with a heavy heart that I also grieve with the family and for the sorrow and loss all his friends are experiencing.

I will always remember the look on everyone's face whenever Lance entered a room. He had that uncanny ability to brighten even the darkest of days just with his presence. Lance, you will never be forgotten buddy.

Steve, Debbie and Lauren: No words can express our grief over the passing of Lance from this world to the next. Even though we know he is in the presence of his grandfathers and others who have gone before into God's kingdom, nevertheless, the sadness at his passing can seem endless. We love you beyond words and will support you in any way we can.

I tutored with Lance at the Presbyterian Community Center in highschool. He was a great role model for all the kids that attended the Center, and was a wonderful tutor. He was also a good friend to me during that time, and I will miss him. My condolences go out to all of his family.
