I didn’t know Mr. Moore, I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for your loss. It’s hard to deal with losing someone that you love. When I dealt with the losses my loved ones it has been helpful to read certain scriptures and think about the hope to see those who have died again. I’d like to leave those scriptures here for you now, in the hope that they help you like they have me.
