Shirley Moore Obituary

We thought of you today with Love in our hearts. But this is nothing new, we thought of you yesterday and the day before....we think of you in silence and often whisper your name in our thoughts and prayers. All we have now are our wonderful and fond memories and your picture in a frame. It broke our hearts to see you go....but, you didn't go alone, because you see a part of each of us went with you on your journey. As God took you to his heavenly home. So now your bright smile will brighten the heavens and when we see a morning sunrise or sunset we will think of you bighting our day ahead or our days end. We love and miss you so very much.

Shirley, my favorite cousin. I miss you and the fun and wonderful times we had together. From growing up in Calhan together and more recently while you were taking care of your mom, and living with Teresa. With loving heart, I add this little poem I wrote. Love you and miss you,,, jean

Peace

When all the world is quiet
and in its solitude I find
A peace so very deep within
a loving God so kind.

I feel the stillness of the night
in calm and soothing grace
I look around for who is there
and catch a glimpse of God’s face.

HIS arms stretched out to me
HE whispered soft and low
”Rest in me, I'll give you peace”
my heart began to glow.

I felt the comfort of HIS love
I prayed, "My soul please keep"
I laid down in peaceful rest
as in HIS Grace I fell asleep. ©

Pat,I,Queenie & Mick miss you very much. You are always in our hearts.

My Grandma
I didn’t know my grandma very well and I wasn‘t as close to her as I would have liked to be so I am going to tell you about what I remember most about my Grandma. The good times we had and the memories of her that I will always cherish. I’ll start with my earliest memories of my life and that would be my family and I living with Grandma Moore. I don’t remember much of this time which leads me to believe that I was very young. I remember sleeping on Grandma’s couch, watching old people shows on T.V., like Matlock and Murder She Wrote and I’ll never forget the small white chest full of toys she always let me play with. I remember one day she took my sister and me for a walk to the park to play. Back then I didn’t know why we lived with Grandma, today I know and understand that she let us stay with her because we had nowhere else to go and Grandma loved us and cared for us. I don’t remember moving out but I will always remember living with her. As I grew up and got older the memories I have gained are many and today they hold a special place in my heart. Every year, one week before my birthday there was always a card from my Grandma in my mail box and when I got older and the cards stopped I always got a call from her to wish me a happy birthday and to tell me she loved me. I remember my mom asking me to go mow Grandma’s grass during the summer. I was in my teens then and to me mowing the grass meant extra money for me. Now with her gone I look back and I’m grateful that I took time to go over and help her. If I had it to do all over again I would do it in a heartbeat. The one thing I remember the most is going over to my Grandmas house for the holidays. It was always so warm and welcoming and I looked forward to it. My Grandma helped me to see the importance of family. For me, my holidays changed after we quit going every year and now every year I always think back to that time and wish we could all have it back. One of the most important things to me that I will never forget was my Grandma’s laugh and her smile. Her laugh was so unique and so contagious and her smile was so full of love. I will forever miss my Grandmother. I regret not getting to know her better and not spending more time with her. In my eyes she showed me how much she loved and cared for me and my family every chance she got. I thank GOD everyday that my clildren got to meet her and they were old enough to know who she was before she passed, I also thank GOD that he blessed me with such a great Grandma.
If there is one lesson we can all learn from this loss is that family should be number one for us all. We are not given much time here on earth with our loved ones and we need to slow down and let them know how much they mean to us and how much we love them. Although we have lost an irreplaceable part of our lives and our family we can take solace that Grandma is with GOD watching over us.
I love you Grandma and I will never forget the love you gave me and my family.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Shirley Ann was my niece that I was best acquainted with. We had visited her in Colorao a number of times, and after she moved we kept in touch by phone. I will miss visiting with her. However I know she is with the Lord and no longer suffering from her several ailments. We hope to keep in touch with Teresa, Rick and Ramona and their families. May God bless and comfort them and we will have the peace of joining her when we are called home. Aunt Dorothy & Uncle Ed

I knew Shirley through my dear friends Rick and Patsy. I will miss calling and hearing her say "Hi Honey" on the phone. She was so full of love and kindness...through our conversations she reassured me and through her cards she brightened my day. I miss you Shirley! My heart and prayers go out to her family at this very difficult time and I pray comfort is found in knowing she is up in Heaven with our Heavenly Father smiling upon us all.

Grandma Moore was truely a one of a kind.I was raised watching her take care of her mother and in the act of her doing so I learned a valuble lesson about the importantce of family, I also learned to love green jello salad. Although it brings me great sadness to see her go, it brings me great joy to know that she is no longer at risk of being hurt by the goings on of the world. Grandma, we all love and miss you dearly.

For days I've searched for the right words to describe just how her smile could brighten one's darkest day. But all that knew her know that.. You see I married Shirley's son Rick 20+ years ago and after meeting her realized we had one common ground and that was the unconditional love for her son. It wasn't until she moved in with Rick and I that I really got to know her and realize just how much she loved her family and how she just simply wanted to be loved. Mom I know you are watching over us and I just want you to know how very much we miss you. Our house is silent, your room is still just like you left it and mother misses her best buddy very much. I promise to take care of Rick and your baby dog, Louis, and of course Patsy Ann. Until we meet again just know I love you Mom and miss you more than words can say.

Shirley Ann,, my cousin, my friend.
You now have a new road to trod,
As you were called home to live with God.
I'll ne'er forget your laughter or your beautiful smile,
So won't say 'good bye'... just so long for a while.
I love you,,, and miss you...

To those she left behind, I have a memory I would like to share. Shirley lived with Terry and me for a brief time a few years ago. During this time I would often arrive home from work before Terry. On one such occasion I got home and the radio was on some country western station. Shirley and I began talking about dinner when on came a song called 'Brand New Girlfriend' by Steve Holly. She immediately ended the conversation and with an almost school girls giddiness announced how she really liked this song. This song will always remind me of her laughter and smile. You can be assured that anyone who knew her will miss that about her.

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. We enjoyed our brief visits with her.

To my Mother whom I love dearly...I will miss you so very much, our calls during the week, going to starbucks and of course our favorite was an Ice Cream cone once a week. I am so glad that you were my Mother. I think of you every day especially around 3pm. I know our relationship was a rollercoaster ride and you know even the bad times don't seem to be all that bad now...When I look back at some of the things we did it brings joy to my heart, cause I know you will always be with me, in my heart, in my thoughts and in everything I do...there will always be something that I will see or hear on the radio that will remind me of you. I love you so much, thank you for being my mother!!

I knew Shirley briefly, but every time I talked with her she always made me feel like I was her own granddaughter. She was always in our thoughts and in our hearts, we will miss Grandma Shirley. She was always so wonderful, so warm to me, what a beautiful person in and out. We love you and miss you.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your loss. Shirley Ann was a friend of our family for many years. We will miss her pleasant smile and beautiful laugh.

What a wonderful blessing you were to me Mom. I loved you with all my heart and will miss you with all of my being. There are so many things I will miss about you, like your laugh, your hugs, and all the times you reassured me everything would be ok. I know God had a special place prepared for you and I know I will see you again.

This was my Mother and I loved her with all my heart. I was blessed the day I was born and I was blessed for 46 years because she was in my life. Now that she's gone I will dearly miss her, but I know in my heart that I will see her again.

To everyone who loved her and will miss her greatly, just as we do: know that our hearts and prayers go out to each and every one of you.

All our love,
Roxanne and Kevin Thomas
