Larry Moore

We had a wonderful time with (son)David... more on that later... but it was tempered by the very sad news received on the same day of David's welcome home party. Larry Moore, 63, son of Ethel Moore, brother of Gloria, Janice, Ron, Joyce and Diana, passed away in Ardmore, Oklahoma on August 14, 2007. Larry was married twice and was "daddy" to six children, and I know they will miss him dearly. He had undergone heart surgery a couple of months before, and everyone thought he was doing so well. He went to the doc to get his release to return to work when he apparently suffered a heart attack. They took him to the hospital immediately but while they were still trying to do tests on him he passed away. Here is a link to the funeral home's website; you can click on his name to read his page and you can leave a message for the family using the website's guestbook.

I still remember Larry from my early teens, when we all went to the same church. Larry was tall, lanky, and quiet. I always thought he was the coolest guy because he was NICE. In recent years, I missed seeing him the last few times he was in the Phoenix area at his sister's house, but each time I thought, "Well, I will stop by Janice's house and see him next time he is in town." I should have known better, and am sadly reminded that we should ALWAYS take every opportunity to spend time with family and friends, those are the ones who enrich our lives and you can't go back when it is too late. I am so sorry I did not get to visit with Larry as an adult. To all the extended Moore family, our hearts are with you during this time of grief.

Dear Janice,

We were so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I remember when we were all teenagers in St. Louis... he seemed so "grown up" to me then. It's hard to believe how quickly the years have gone by -- we're both grandmothers now and he even had great-grandchildren! I wish I was there to hold and hug you, like you were there for all of us. Please know that you're in our thoughts and prayers daily. May you know no more sorrow.

Saddest News - Melonie Schollmeyer

Image
I don't even know how to write this. We are all so very sad. Melonie Schollmeyer, a vibrant woman, our relative and friend, became suddenly ill over the weekend and passed away. Details at this point are sketchy. **(The following is updated info as of noon Monday)** Melonie's children, Brittany and Robert, just had their Confirmation on Saturday evening. Melonie was not feeling well enough to attend, and stayed at home with flu-like symptoms. Afterward the children, Mary, and Cheryl all visited with Mel before going taking the children to spend the night with Tom. The next day Cheryl and Mary could not raise Melonie by telephone and so asked Tom to go see how she was doing. He did so (thankfully the children stayed in the car) and found Melonie had passed away in the bedroom. The Medical Examiner's Office is doing an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Mary Wroten, Mel's mom, and her sister Cheryl Wroten, are understandably still in somewhat of a shock today. I am ...

Edith Admitted to Hospital Again

Rick reports that his mom had been overdosed on Coumidin - an extremely dangerous anticoagulant drug - and also had an infection going on. Long story short, she is no longer at the physical rehab facility. She has been admitted again back into the hospital where both situations are hopefully being remedied, and she has the love and support of us all. Auntie Edith, hang in there, we all love you!!

Fast Update on Tom Tate

Dad did finally receive a tracheostomy yesterday, so that tube is gone out of his mouth and now sprouts from his chest. They tried to put the feeding tube down his nose but it keeps clogging up so today [or tomorrow] they will insert a port into his stomach... Later today or tomorrow we will start a search of local specialty hospitals that might have the criteria to care for Dad after his discharge from the ICU. I am headed for the hospital now, so please forgive the brevity of this post. Hugs to all, and thank you again for all your prayers. Susan P.S. I am printing out all the wonderful comments to the blog and also the emails I've received from so many, and taking them to Mom to read. It's so encouraging to her to see all the support and love Dad has. God bless you all.
