To: Mr. Maurice Moore Sr. and Family
I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear son. It seems like yesterday when I was at your home talking to him. I know that God will see you through this time of sorrow. Be strong and I will continue to pray for and your family. Always remember that you will meet him again and he is safe with the Lord. I know that Peewinkle is smiling down on you and saying "don't worry dad I'm ok". Mr. Maurice you did more than a father could do for his son. Be blessed and continue on leaning towards the Lord.
