Geoff, Rick,
Your mom and probably Mrs. Jamison were my substitute mothers while we were growing up in Roanoke.
I have nothing but fond memories of her and send my prayers to all. May God be with you during this time.
Love to all,
Bill & Mary Barker

I am very sorry about the loss of Mrs. Moose. I grew up in Rke. and a teen, worked at M&R downtown during the holidays. I will never forget the first time I met Mrs. Moose. She helped me choose a small Coalport piece and a jam jar as Christmas gifts to my family. Until I moved away, I always went to Moose at Christmas where she continued to help me for years. I know she will be sorely missed. I am thinking of your family and sorry for the loss of this great, lovely lady.
