My thoughts and prayers for Bob and family. It was a great joy to care for Marna Moore. She asked once, If I enjoyed my job caring for others? I told her, Absolutely! She laughed. It's time like these, I ask myself the same question. But in those moments, tucking her into bed and kissing her on her forehead or listening to her spicy sense of humor, or even just walking in and seeing her smile so big when I say, Hey, Beautiful! It's in those moments, you realize what life is really about and how blessed we truly are as health care workers. Thank you to the Moore family for the opportunity to know and get to care for Marna. I can only pray that when I am older, I have half of the sense of humor and love for life that she shared with me and others. I will always carry her in my heart!

Bob and family,
I learned about Marna's passing in church this Sunday and was sad. She was such a neat gal and always upbeat. My sympathies to you all. I have fond memories of years as neighbors.

Bob, Melonie, Martin and families- my heart is sad. Memories go back to 1954 when we were such good friends. Each day we would learn the spelling and meaning of a new word from something we read. I can just hear her say-"what's the good word for today?" Maybe with her passing the "good words"
are 'peace, release and freedom' for Mona Mia Moore. Years of memories, laughter and love may comfort you. Theo.

We are so sad to hear of the loss of one of the classiest women I know. I have years of wonderful memories of Marna and the Moore home on Christmas Eve!! You all provided a time for so many families to join together and catch up. Marna will be truly missed by oh so many. May God heal your hearts as we know she is sitting at his side. Love you all
