Hey dad. Happy Fathers Day. I love you, I miss you. This is our 1st fathers day without you. Remember that wallet you asked me about before you left us? Well, that was supposed to be a fathers day present from me. I was gonna suprise you with it, but you left too soon. Oh dad, I hated that you had to leave us, we all do. But I understand. You had to go. You played for 68 yrs., and it was time for you to be called home. I just wish it wasn't so soon. You could've been here another 68 yrs. and it still would've been too soon for you to leave. But in god's eyes, it was time for you to go. I thank you for being my dad. Thank you for taking care of us. Thank you for loving us. And that you did. You loved your whole family. We were a good husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, friend, and an even better man. You were all of those things dad. And I thank you for it too. I only wish I would've told you all of this before now. I would always think it, but I never said it. And now I wish I would have. I now your in heaven. There's not any kind of doubt about that. Dad, please continue to watch over us and take care of us like you did before. I love you. Until we meet again, not goodbye, but see ya later.
Love you always & forever,
Nette

Aundrea, Clyde & the Farrow family, Matt 5:4 tells us "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted". Therefore, we are praying for our Father, who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we can ask or think, comfort and strengthen you. We love you and remain a phone call away.

God bless Willie T. and his family.
I am Anthony Moore, the son of one of his dearest friends, William C., and Ira Jean Moore. Words alone cannot express the loss that we all feel for your family. Willie T. was a dear friend to our family for over 55 years. Over the years, I can recall as a small boy of 4 or 5 years of age the friendship that he had with our family. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War, and I shall never forget that car he had when he came back from the war, a 1967 Chevelle, SS-396.
He was like an uncle. My father blessed us with being in a fraternity that included many "uncles" that included, of course, Willie T., John Thomas, Deacon Joe Bagley, Sam Riiggs, Charles Jefferson, Johnny Brown, and Frank Bell.
I have over the years heard many stories regarding their ventures as teenaged boys and young men. Such makes me smile, and makes me feel proud to be part of the generation that these great men sowed. I can only hope that I will someday measure up to the standards of these great men that I have been blessed to know. For all that views this message, please know that the Moore family will truly miss such a great man as Willie T. He shall be in our hearts and minds forever.
Anthony Moore.

Hey dad. It's me, Nette. I just wanted to tell you that I thank you sooooo much for being my dad. You were the best dad a daughter could ever have in the world. I was telling Charvette that other than God, You were the only other man that ever loved me the way a father should love his daughter. You were a very kind, loving & giving father who loved his family dearly, with every breath you took. You were the greatest husband, father, friend, & man that anybody could ever ask for. God I wish I would've told you all of this when I was thinking it. God I wish I would've told you. Now it's too late. Although I know you new I loved you, but, I still should have said it more. Dad, I just can't stop crying over you. I was telling my mom that she's gonna have to be strong for me instead of me being there for her. She's been holding up pretty good so far. And so have jr. They're doing alot better than I am right now. I just can't believe you're gone, I just can't. I'm kinda getting used to you not being here in the house, not fully yet though. I still be looking for you to be sitting in your chair. As a matter of fact the day that you died I was sitting where I usually sit at in the deen. And I looked over there at that recliner, & started balling because I know that that's where you would usually be at when we sit in the deen at night. Dad, it just doesn't seem real that your gone so far away from us. But I know your up there smiling down on us being all footloose and fancy free. You aint got a problem in the world now. And for that, I am so happy for. I know It may not have seemed like it, and I know that maybe sometimes you didn't feel it, but we were so greatful to have you as a husband & father . I'm so happy that God picked you to be my dad. Cause like I said, you were the best father a girl could ever had. You dont have to worry about mom. Me and Jr. taking care of her just like we always did. But your up beyond the sky in heaven, so I know your not worried. Were all taking care of each other around here. You have my word on that. Well dad, I'm going now, but some sweet day we will all be together again in heaven. You betcha bottom $ well see you again. You will always and forever be the light of my heart. Goodbye my sweet dad, for now, until we all meet again in heaven.
Your loving daughter,
