Losing a Friend
It was a sudden parting
Too bitter to forget
Those who loved you so dearly
Are the ones who can't forget.

We often sit and think of you
And think of how you died.
To think you couldn't say good bye
Before you closed your eyes.

You suffered much pain
But made sure we didn't see it
While we were glad you were fine
You were no longer in our lives.

The blow was hard, the shock severe
To part with one We loved so dear
Our loss is great, we will not complain
But trust in god to meet you again.

My memories with you are always ones that i will treasure. We always shared the month of our birthday together. You would always tell me i was like a sister to you. You always had that smile that brightened up any room. When I was having a sad day you always had your silly ness come out. You have been gone for 7 years my friend and your my angle that guides me durning my most difficult times. Till we meet again girl and you keep flying high. Love LowLow

Dear Moire,

There's a silence in the world where your laughter was. There's less warmth and love without your smile.

And oh could you COOK/BURN! I ain't gonna lie. I miss your mac n' cheese and enchiladas too!!!

I quite simply miss you MoJo (Flores)!!!

Until we meet again in our Father's House, keep a light on for me.

Love,
NaNa

Dear Moire,

I still can't believe you're gone ... AutoCorrect changed that to "going home." That's not correct ... as you are home. As I said before, keep the light on for me. I miss you so much!

Yesterday we were at Granny's looking through papers. We found your obituary. Mom asked me to read it and as soon as I saw your picture, a heavy weight sat on my chest. I couldn't breathe ...

Last night, a couple of us cousins (well and your niece and nephew) got together to eat. We talked about you after I said Mom had recently made the best macaroni and cheese I had ever tasted. It's neck and neck, but the deciding factor will have to happen in heaven!

I love you "MoJo Flores"!

NaNa

P.S. If one of my dreams comes to fruition, I will open a restaurant. And I will call it Josephine's.

Sweetheart, yesterday we had an impromptu get together that was both sweet and painful. Sweet because some of the people who feel your loss the most were all together. Painful obviously because you were not with us. Within the short silences of that day between laughing and memories, I could feel and hear your presence. You are NEVER forgotten and are always missed. I see you. Strong. In your baby Lyric in particular, the way she has of looking out for you, making sure you're taken care of: today it was getting me some water with ICE (her touch) and seeing if I wanted to put my feet up in Aya's recliner. In little Asiah (Mae), I also see your quick wit and chatter and your way of looking at things differently. She is kinda hankty (could that be you too, lol). In Timahny, TIP, I see your big heart and desire for justice. You live on in so many ways that I cannot begin to describe. I have so much more to say, but "I miss you Moire" is at the heart of it. Until we see each other again, leave the light on for me. Love, NaNa

Friend! Wow I was looking at some pictures of us at the daycare. I miss you so much and always remember your glow and crazy smile. We were always doing crazy stuff. I miss our chats we had and how I could talk to you and you would always make sense of everything. I know you are looking down on us and thanks for that. I so wish heaven had a phone. Thanks for being my dear friend Mo!

Dear Moire

Your sister told me this was your favorite Bible verse ... Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." On this day though, the one thing I cannot do is stop missing you.

Love always

It is easy to say how wonderful you are, now that you are no longer with us; It is easy to express how truly dynamic and caring you are to any and every one since you've been gone. What is truly special is that it was easy to articulate the many fantastic qualities you embodied, since you were a young girl. You and I are the closest in age of all the grandchildren, so we ran tight, often mistaken for brother and sister. I often looked over you as little sister and made it my duty to protect you, whether you needed it or not. You are with me as vivid memories in my mind, love in my heart and now permanent ink on my arm; as opposed to my younger cousin walking home from school. The feeling however is still quite the same; you are special and worthy of the world to see, yet, I often hold you close for only those close to us to view. While I love and think of you every day, today I share what you mean to me. Look down us as I imagine you often do and smile.

Moire, the last time I saw you, you babysat my kids. How sweet you were to them! I've read through the notes...so much love! I'm sure you know. Today, Renee sent this page. My daughter, Moriah Rebekah Josean (I call her Mo Jo at times) was looking over my shoulder. She said, "mom, I pray for her children every night." Elena has your kids names' on her dresser which is where her prayer list is. I'm positive you know all if this. Your babies are well looked after and prayed for. You couldn't have a better sister in Carrie. You are so loved...by your brothers, mom, aunts, cousins, friends...as a member of your extended family and on behalf of myself and children, I love you, miss you and will see you later. We are better people for knowing you! Love you Mo Jo!

I thought about you so much this past weekend. This time last year we were all together celebrating Cam's birthday. It was the last time I saw you, I'm so grateful for that time we spent together, talking and laughing....I will never forget that night. We miss you so much! Brandon, that entry you wrote brought me to tears....Moire Is looking Down upon you and is so VERY proud of you just like we all are. You have grown into such an amazing man. Lyric, Asiah and Timahny are so lucky to have you as their uncle.

Brandon Purdie-Dickerson

October 28, 2012

Man, where to start sis! I miss you so much Mo. I swear i always remember us in the kitchen and you asking me if you should go into a career for doing hair or culinary, and i was thinking man she's about to start life and i know she'll do good at them both. That's my last memory of us that i have. Then there's the baked mack that you made the best. Just watching your kids grow up, lyric looks like you when you were young, she's like a spitting image of you when you were young. Sometimes I forget your not coming back and it's those times, times like now where I break down. Man what i would give to bring you back sis! You had a delayed start but I know you were going places and going to do things, but I'll make you proud sis. I know you're looking down on everybody right now. I love you Mo and as I do big things I'm going to look up at you. R.I.P. Mo you will ALWAYS be loved!

My cousin Moire moved
gracefully
gratefully.

My cousin Moire was the height of generosity:

She gave freely of her
time
money
talents
self

She held nothing back. And oh yes she could 'get you told'. Ask my cousin Jon.

My cousin Moire had style and her own kind of magic:

She could take a few dollars and turn it into a feast.
She could take a house and make it into a home.
She could take a few lines and make it into a story.

My cousin Moire knew EVERYONE.
And everyone knew her.

My cousin Moire was like a (baby) sister to me.

She was the best and brightest of us all and I will miss her until the day we
can visit each other's mansions in heaven.

Hers will be easy to spot:

No door will ever be closed.
No pot will ever be empty.
No face will ever be without a smile.

You are the sunshine of our lives Moire. Your light will be missed.

Each and EVERY day.

Love always
