Robin and family: I have fond memories of Dr. Moreland. My Mom worked at Westview Nursing Home and anytime I was sick, which wasn't often thank goodness, he would see me at her work. He never charged Momma a dime for seeing me. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all during this transition.

He was our neighbor and friend as well as our doctor.Always there in time of need.I remember so well when my grandmother stayed with us for a month,he came by 2 or 3 times a week to check on her and my mom. My mom worked at the nursing home with him and Mrs. Elaine and loved every minute of it.I can see him on Sunday morning at church in his suit and with a smile on his face.He always spoke when he saw me and always let you know you mattered.Your family was blessed to have him and so was our community. My the peace from our father in heaven give you all peace,just knowing he is sitting at the feet of Jesus..Thanks Doc for a job well done and a big heart that cared about others.
