Moyra,  Thank you for your friendship and your kindness. You are a friend who quickly became family. We will miss our late night drives, chats and adventures for coffee and ice cream. I thank God for having you in our lives these past 2years. You made a lasting impression on my family especially my girls. Thank you for taking the time to teach my girls so much from learning a new languages, learning new art techniques, coaching them in theater and so many life lessons. We will miss you so much!! Good bye for now (as you always said) and GOD bless you! ❤️ 
With love always- The Aparicio Family

This little owl belongs to my grandson.  It was given to him by Moyra, shortly after her husband, Don’s, funeral, in memory of a little story my grandson told her at the conclusion of Don’s rosary.   This little owl will always be cherished by him and serves to preserve the memory of the special person Moyra was, for our family, and for anyone who knew her.  With love, the Schmidt Family

Moyra, thank you for all the great conversations, the inspiring thoughts, the books you shared, the wisdom, and the encouragement. Though you are no longer here, you will always be in our hearts and presence. Here is a poem that I hope brings comfort to your loved ones because I know now that you are at peace and whole once again. This poem carries great inspiration from you as well.


Hello Again
Today, the sun broke through with radiant grace,
Carving golden paths in the sky’s embrace.
The clouds have parted, wide and bright,
To welcome her into endless light.
Yet still,
 she watches, whole and free,
Her love unbroken, her soul at peace.
And though unseen, she lingers near,
Whispering softly, "I am here."
Till we meet again.
When the clouds roll in and shadows grow,
Know it is she who fogs heaven’s window,
Peering down with tender eyes,
Love undimmed by space or time.
Till we meet again.
When the rain falls in quiet streams,
It is her sorrow, her softened grief.
And when the sun comes out,
It is her warmth that will embrace.
Today and till no end…AMEN

With a heavy heart - I say good bye to you, Moyra💔

It’s hard to put into words what you meant to me. Your love, wisdom, and strength shaped me in ways -- I will always cherish. Moyra, you had a way of making life feel a little easier, a little warmer, just by being yourself you are a guiding light. Losing you is heartbreaking, but I find comfort in knowing your love will always be a part of me. I’ll miss you more than words can say. 
 
I love and miss you, Moyra! 🙏

I have known Moyra for 45 years and I was blessed to have had such a cherished and loyal friend. Moyra was kind and generous beyond measure. She truly had a servant’s heart and every new person she met she embraced them as a friend in that moment. She would exchange phone numbers and would then have a lifelong friendship.  She took the scripture seriously when it said, “do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. (Hebrews 13:2)    

She was generous with her time, devoting hours to school children and adults in helping them with their studies and special projects.  Moyra loved and adored children.  

She had a love for animals, which she illustrated in her pen and ink artwork. She also dabbled in oil paintings, acrylics, and watercolors.  Moyra was a skilled and gifted artist.

Moyra had a passion for art, reading, literature, poetry, photography, languages and politics.  She enjoyed deep and philosophical conversations. And she particularly had a gift for learning multiple languages.  She was wise and very intelligent. Moyra had a great sense of humor and loved telling jokes.  And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the timbre of her voice. Her voice was captivating and unique. I loved listening to her recite poetry, waiting for each nuance that would bring those words to life.  

Moyra left an indelible impact on my life and in my heart.  She was one-of-a-kind.  A remarkable woman, with grace, class, humility and an abundance of love for family and friends.

Her devotion to Jesus Christ was exemplary and I know when Moyra went from this life into the loving arms of Jesus Christ, He said to her, “Well done good and faithful servant.”
