Allen, It's been a year. You are so missed. He talks as if your'e still here, In his heart you still are. He brings things in from outside and says, my Dad would like this (feathers from different animals) just things that remind him of you.
When the grass was growing in the spring, he went to you. He came home an told me that the grass where you lay is taller than any where else. He misses you so very much, he always will. We all do.

I thought of you today,
but that is nothing new.
I thought of you yesterday and will tomorrow, too.

I think of you in silence
and make no outward show.
For what it meant to lose you
only those who love you know.

Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday.
It's the heartache of losing you
that will never go away.

I miss you.

There are some things I want to say about my grandpa...
Let me start off my saying that my grandpa was THE BEST GRANDPA IN THE WORLD. He was always there for me, the one person that I could always count on for anything. He truly cared about me and my family. In my eyes no one could fill his shoes(BOOTS). I was always so proud of my grandpa, the kind of person he was.
My grandpa was a shy,funny, caring,honest,hardworking REAL COWBOY.
Growing up my grandpa was my hero, always there to protect and care for me. Now he's my angel, and I thank God every day for giving me a grandpa like him.
I have so many memories but you know there not really just memories at all, there my tresures.
So I have a very rich broken heart right now. I will keep his cute little smile and bright blue eyes sketched in my head forever.
My loss is heaven's gain.
Allen James Moore, he's one of a kind.
Love Julie

I know God is blessed to have a cowboy like you. you are an original and that's what made you so special. I love you Grandpa, Your Granddaughter, Laura Sue

Reading Jacki's entry reminded me of how much Uncle Allen liked to watch the rodeo on TV. We would often talk about the Mesquite rodeo that is here in Texas. I am also reminded of how he liked to watch Jerry Springer back in the 90s. Uncle Allen and Aunt Dorthy were the only other people that would admit to being Springer fans with me! Miss you Uncle Allen :(

Dear Grandpa, So many wonderful memories I carry in my heart. You worked very hard everyday. You enjoyed being outside. You shared many stories about your childhood in your last years with us. You loved Three's Company and Wrestling, oh how you'd laugh. That laughter was contagious. These are just a few things that I remember. What a blessing to have those memories.... And what a comfort to know that you have been taken away to paridise. We often wonder what paridise might be like. Some day we'll Know...We'll be seein' ya... And to my Beautiful Grandmother, I pray for the healing of your heart, that only the Lord can provide. I pray that you stay close to Him and allow Him to help you carry your heavy load. - Amen

To All, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and always. I love you all so much!!!

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.

My great Uncle Allen will live in my memories for ever. I remember riding in his wagon as a child. He was a great example to us growing up. I'll miss him. I hope Roy let's you ride Trigger around heaven one or twice.

I have lived out here all of my life and am I sure will miss seeing him puttin' around the property taking care of his animals. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Uncle Allen will be dearly missed. I have fond memories as a child of coming out to the Broken Arrow and seeing him puttering around the place. I had the pleasure of meeting with him and the family in Tulsa a few years back for a reunion. It was clear that a part of his heart never left the Oklahoma of his youth. Uncle Allen was a true gentleman and adored his wife Dorothy. God speed.
