Oland Moore Family
Our family was so very sad and sorry to hear of Olands passing. We know that he came from a good family and that you loved him very much, as he did you. He always spoke in the most glowing terms of how much his family meant to him.
Bob will always be thankful that he had the opportunity to have Olie as a softball coach, and that he was able to compete against some of Olands other softball teams. Bob will cherish this memory for years to come.
We pray that God's choicest blessings will be bestowed on you and your wonderful family. May God grant you the peace and strength to carry on in faith.
With heartfelt condolences
Bob, Rob, and Shaun Sullivan
