How sweet paradise must be...by Meredith

Mom got to go to heaven early this morning.

When she departed from this world, she was surrounded by the love of her family. The pain of our separation can't compare to the joy of heaven. Her suffering is over and the light of her love is still alive in all of us.

Mom would want us to celebrate life in this time. For those of you who are compelled to write -- In place of sharing condolences, feel free to share about the way mom touched your life or the way Christ touched your life through mom.

Please have peace in the assurance that Mom's spirit will shine vibrantly in this community forever because of the way you've allowed her and all of us into your hearts.

Much Agape

Meredith and family

Oh, how I loved Ann. We first met working in the kitchen on the Chrysalis 20 team. To liven up the meal times some of the kitchen crew decided to be the Clampetts and have skits after meal times! Ann was Ellie Mae, my husband, Glenn, was Jethro and I was Granny. We had so much fun! We worked other Chrysalis teams together and I marveled at Ann's grace, beauty (inside and out), and her sweet and kind spirit. Ann loved the Lord with all her heart, soul, mind and strength. On Journey 4 Ann blessed us by giving the Faith talk. It was so evident that she and the Lord were walking hand in hand. I count it an honor and a priveledge to have called Ann my friend and sister in Christ. I wilss her, miss sending and receiving her text, but I can look towards the future and know that one day I will spend eternity in heaven with her! My last memory of Ann is how she helped me through the early morning hours on December 27, 2008 as my mother was passing away. Knowing more than likely she would be awake I sent her a text. We texted throughout that time and I knew she was praying for me. That too is how I will remember Ann Moore ... a mighty prayer warrior.
Randy, I have not lost my spouse, so I can not truly understand the emotions you must be experiencing. But to Erin, Meredith and Andrew I have experienced losing my mom and I know how to be praying for you. You can be confident I will be praying! Ann will be missed, but NEVER forgotten!!!

What a graceful witness Ann Moore was unto our Lord and Savior. I had the honor of getting to know Ann through Chrysalis and
witnessed the many hearts she touched through this ministry to young people. Our family will continue to hold her memory
close to our hearts and pray for peace and comfort for your family. Bless you all.

Having not personally met Ann I felt a overwhelming
bond to a lovely woman who shared her struggles & joy
with others, Her love for her family and God was apparent
to all who followed her journey into heaven. My prayers are for those
who now know a world without her,
Her family will be in our thoughts -Tamara

Oh, what gain...heaven! In the arms of a mighty Savior. Ann's love for Christ overflowed into my life, and I am forever grateful for her wonderful friendship. Her zest for life was so apparent. She was always quick to pray regardless of the circumstance. I was blessed to be able to listen to Ann's Faith Talk on the Journey 4 weekend. What FAITH she had along with the whole Moore family. My favorite memory with Ann was taking walks around the neighborhood the few times I came to the house. She had such insight and was a godly role model, always directing towards Christ, our ultimate prize!
Praying always for you Randy, Erin, Meredith, Andrew and family

Ann Moore is one of the most incredible people I've ever met. Words cannot even begin to express my admiration, love and
respect for her and the entire Moore family. I had the pleasure of working with Ann at FOX 7 for a number of years and the
pleasure of working with Randy for almost nine years. I have since left the broadcasting business, but I will always remain
part of the FOX 7 family. A big reason for that is the way Ann and Randy welcomed me to the station back in August
of 2000. They were very kind, warm and inviting from the moment I walked into the newsroom. I had the honor of being
cubicle mates with Ann for a while. I sat next to her and she was always there to offer advice, wisdom, knowledge and experience
She was like a "mother" to me in the newsroom. She talked me through some tough times in my life and never judged my
actions or mistakes. She was a patient listener and an amazing friend.

I'll miss you dearly, Ann. But, as Meredith said, your spirit and your name will live on forever. Thank you for touching my life.

Thank you for being so strong and so full of love, faith and compassion. You're an inspiration to all of us.

God Bless you, Randy and your family.

With Love,

Rick Peltier

I only met Ann a couple times, but knew her through working with Randy at Fox 7. The strength both of them had through this battle is an inspiration to me. I remember when Randy told us about her diagnosis. I thought to myself if that was me I would run away to some beach and just give up. But watching those two fight it while they continued to enjoy life and try to help others who may be struggling with the same disease truly touched me. Now, whenever I have something in my life that may be tough or not what I planned, whether it's big or small, I think back to watching Randy and Ann fight and know I can make the best of whatever happens.

I first met Ann Moore at my Tres Dias weekend...I walked in a little scared and quite shy...to find that this beautiful woman that I watched every nite on TV was
my table leader. From the moment I met Ann...I knew I was in the presence of a spirit filled woman who had surrendered her life to be a vessel of God's love.
That weekend a lot of pain was let go and it was because of Ann that I started on my walk of a surrendered life. I have watched her for the last 18 years as she
walked her path with so much love, dignity and grace. Her strength and her love came from the Lord, her husband, her children, her family and friends. But it
is what Ann taught me that will forever be in my heart...she taught me to trust in the Lord..to always love deeply, and to walk my path knowing I am His beloved.
The last time I spoke with Ann she told me she was not afraid of dying...and I knew that she was not....I was just afraid of living without her....Thank you Ann...
your legacy will always live...through your memory, through your husband and children, through your family and friends ....and through the passion you left
to reach out and help others walk this journey of cancer....Gilda's Club. Until we meet again my dear sweet friend...dance and sing with our Lord. Vicki

Ann was one of the first local broadcasting people I knew who publicly
shared her faith. That had a big impact on me and no doubt helped lead
me to a relationship with Christ. Thank you, sweet friend.

I had the pleasure of working with Ann during her high school years. I was her cheer leading sponsor. Even as not much more than a child, Ann displayed character that remains beautiful in my memory. She was wise beyond her years, compassionate, composed and, if it is possible, she was very dignified whilst jumping, yelling and turning flips in the air. What a fine girl!

To her family I wish to say, "Mr. Little holds great affection in his heart for your daughter, wife, and mother. He considers her one of the blessings of his early career as the both of them were growing up together." I was on the sidelines as the sponsor's wife and "assistant" who also noticed the grace of this special young woman. Brenda Bailey Little

Dear Moore family,
I am so thankful to have known Ann through various volunteer activities via the SBDC and Venture Capital Creation (U of E). You are so blessed to have had her in your life as your wife, mother and friend. God has called her home but not before she has touched so many lives through her courage and discipleship through a very tough time.

I don't think many people could have handled cancer with as much class and grace as Ann. It is how she approached life & is certainly how I will remember her best. She taught me that even in times of sorrow & suffering, faith in God will carry you through. What a powerful message. I know few people who could have found that through the fog of chemo & radiation.

So in the spirit of celebration, I will say that I feel all of us on Earth and now heaven are better for the experience of knowing Ann Moore. I feel blessed to have an angel looking down on all of us.

Ann you were so inspirational to us at Chrysalis you were so strong mind, body, and soul. I have never met anyone with as much FAITH IN God as you! Love you always

Ann was a dedicated gardener, and frequently e-mailed the extension office with questions. Never the easy questions,
either; I always had to work extra hard to find the answers Ann needed.

I'm hoping that she's currently gardening in perpetual spring weather, with no weeds, bugs, or slugs to torment her.

My prayers are with your family during this time. My Dad just went home to be with the Lord last Friday after battling pancreatic cancer for 11 months. It makes things easier knowing he's the one in a better place!

To the Moore family: I have been following your story for the last 2 years. I have never written but I feel so compelled now to express my feelings. I have never seen a family so caring of each other and during all your family has gone through never stopped sharing your experience to help others. I met Ann several years ago in a small Drs Office in Petersburg where I was working at that time where Channel 7 was covering a story of deportation of the Dr. I was the receptionist and talked to Ann, I thought she was as sweet as beautiful. I also watched Ann and Randy on the news nightly. I will never forget Ann and the impact she has had on my life. She will always be an inspiration to me and I will always try to remember to make the best of each day and be thankful for my life. You are a wonderful family and she will always remain with you. My prayers and thoughts are with your family. Linda Boyles, Petersburg, In.

Heaven just gained more grace and class today.
We are often taught as Christians that the best way to honor the Lord is to live like Christ on earth.
I can't think of a better example than Ann.
In her battle and in her death I have discovered a btter way to live.
Randy, Erin, Meredith and Andrew--are all examples of how much this woman has meant.
There is so much to celebrate her life for, but forgive me if I also don't feel bad that we can't share more with her, since she gave so much to all of us.
# Posted By Mark McVicar | 7/3/09 2:39 PM
I worked with Ann as a co-anchor on Channel 7 Eyewitness New 1984-85. I got to know her and Randy, who did sports anchoring then. I have not seen them for many years and I live in Lexington, KY now. Something drew me to the Channel 7 website this afternoon and that's when I discovered Ann's passing. I am so sorry for all of her family and friends. She was a good person, a real fighter and a wonderful Christian. God bless all of you.

I have been following Ann's blog for the last two years
and even though I don't know the Moore family I have felt
much compassion and love for all of you. Your mother was
an amazing person and angels are surely dancing now.
Blessings to the whole Moore family in the weeks and
months ahead during this difficult time.

Ann was my table leader when I attended TresDias. I loved telling people that we were the dwarfs sitting at the table of Snow White.
At first the reference was to her appearance of looking like Snow White. But then as the weekend continued, she really was Snow White.
My faith seemed dwarfed compared to her faith in God. I knew there were many things I had yet to learn and was honored to be learning from such a giant
in Faith and Love. She will be missed by multitudes..... Nancy

Heaven does have a new angel. I never met Ann but remember watching her on the news years ago. She was always so pleasant and beautiful.
This website has been such an inspiration to me and thousands of others. My heart goes out to the family and friends she left behind. I know
from reading her blogs that you all meant so much to her. My prayers will continue asking the Lord to bring you comfort and peace.
Much agape. Nancy

Ann is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met. So very strong and courageous. We have all learned a lot from her. She is my inspiration for many things I have accomplished over the past year. (My mom is currently fighting cancer.) Ann's spirit will live on in many of us for many years to come and with Gilda's Club coming to Evansville that will be a constant reminder of Ann's impact and her positive presence in our community. I remember when I first met Ann. I purposely came to the Run of Luck just so I could meet her and buy a Gilda's Club t-shirt and a button which read, "CANCER SUCKS!" I proudly wear these and will always think of Ann every time I do. I am ready to see Gild'as Clubhouse in Evansville and continue the great work which Ann has started here. Let's make her proud! Now, that she has joined the rest of the angels in Heaven, she is smiling down and waving to us and saying, "I am okay everyone. I am very happy and I can't wait for you all to get here. This truly is paradise."

When I think of Ann Moore, there is so much life to celebrate! A wonderful Husband, beautiful family, a successful career, and so, so many friends. I had the great priviledge of working with Ann for almost nine years at Fox 7. I can't remember a day that we didn't share a laugh.. or ten! Ann was always very kind, and tough as nails when she needed to be. She gave great advice... and was never afraid to "tell it like it is." I have nothing but the greatest respect for her.
She is truly one of the kindest, and bravest warriors I've ever known. I am so honored to call her "friend", and so grateful for the time I had working with her and Randy.

Randy, Erin, Meridith and Andrew, I can't think of anyone who truly lived life to the fullest, like Ann did. She will always be in our hearts. You are in my prayers, and I hope that God gives you great comfort during this time.

Love, Trish Pena

The world is an emptier place without Ann Moore in it. She did not lose a battle. She won the war! Ann led the way into a vibrant eternity. Her footprints are a march of courage and bravery. Those of us following, can confidently walk behind her, knowing the path leads to a life enriched with love, joy and peace. She was blessed to have such a caring and supportive family and I am sure she would be the first to agree!

I met Ann on the Chrysalis 23 team; my two daughters and I worked this team together. I never had the opportunity to speak with Ann but I did witness the impact she had on this group of people. When she entered the room it truly was like a light was shining from within her that illuminated her every action and every word. Without a doubt, I knew she working for God!
I thank you Meredith, and your family, for sharing your lives with all of us. This glimpse into your family's love for one another and faith in our Lord have blessed a multitude of people...including me.

I never met Ann but have followed this website from the beginning. My grandson, Brandon Mayes, was diagnosed with cancer the same month she was diagnosed. Our dear, sweet Brandon passed on in March and we rejoice in the fact he is no longer in pain although we miss him terribly. I imagine you may feel the same although you will always miss her. Ann was so courageous, witty, spiritual, beautiful and and God-loving and was loved by so many. Alan Jackson has a tune out, "Sissy's Song", which seems so appropriate for Ann. Listen to the words if you get a chance and know that this morning she flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels! May God bless all of you and help you through your grief. Ann will never be forgotten!

I am so sorry to hear about Ann. I have lost my mother
at a young age of 38. I am now 46 and I am batteling

mercy on anyone. I've watch Ann and Randy both for
many years. I have prayed for your family. I did'nt know
either of you, but you were in my livingroom every day.
may God bless your family, and just know that she is
with the Lord.

My husband, Don, started following Ann's website when it began because he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2006. He, like Ann, fought a good fiight for a little over two years, but lost it on June 23, 2008. He was touched by Ann's strength and beauty, and cheered her in her fight. I continued to do the same after his death. My heart goes out to you, Randy, and your daughters, for I have been through what you are now experiencing. As painful as this time is, we all can rejoice in our assurance that both Ann and Don are with our Christ, and we will eventually join them. I will continue to pray for you all, as well as myself and my family... that we all draw strength from our Creator, and He blesses us with His peace that transcends all understanding.

Shortly after Ann & Randy were married, a group from church
went on a riverboad trip. Ann Rushing was planning an outdoor
Navitity and asked me to suggest someone for the part of Mary.
I pointed to Ann Moore standing by the rail, and said "There she is". She accepted and was perfect for the part. This is a beautiful memory I have of her. I just lost a wonderful neighbor to lymphoma, and think of the two of them together in peace.
# Posted By Ada Robinson | 7/3/09 10:52 PM
We also enjoyed watching Ann and Randy on the news nightly. I first met Ann and Randy on June 26, 1987 when she was my room mate at St. Marys Hospital. Ann had just given birth to a precious baby boy named Andrew and my precious daughter was named Brooke. Brooke was in the High Risk Nursery so she didn't get to come to the room like Andrew did. Ann new how my heart was breaking so everytime they brought Andrew in the room she would share him with me. He was a beautiful baby and you could tell how proud Ann and Randy was of him. I've lost both of my parents to Lung Cancer. My mother, just last year on October 31. She was a fighter like Ann. She would always praise the Lord at Church and say that she was a winner either way, if she goes or fi she stays. She loved to sing in church and I know that her and Ann are singing today in that Heavenly Choir. No more pain, walking on the streets of gold and living in their mansions. Praise God!!! God Bless you all. Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you. Your sisters and brother in Christ. Nancy, Brooke and Terry

What a blessing Ann has been to me and others. Not only to share her life publicly (ups and downs). Most importantly sharing her faith in God with us. She was such an inspiration . She will be missed greatly. I am glad she is not in pain anymore. God tells us there are no tears in heaven. You guys are in my prayers.

I have followed Ann's fight with pancreatic cancer even before I was diagnosed in March of 2008 with inoperable Stage III pancreatic cancer. I have prayed for her and even though I did not know her personally, I knew her as a Christian person who gave much to her community.

I have been in remission since Februrary 2009 and just had a CAT scan last week. Pray for me also since it will be until July 7th until I learn if I am still in remission.

If it is my destiny to continue with pancreatic cancer, I will fight to continue to live. However, heaven will be a wonderful place with people like Ann there to greet me.

Words can't even come close to the loss that I feel. I can only imagine what your heart contains today, Randy, Erin, Meridith and Andrew. My prayers and thoughts are with you continually and I find myself in tears more often than not. Grief is a strange and yet wonderful emotion as we all deal with loss differently. I will hold dear in my heart the wonderful times that I spent with Ann and Randy. May God pour his blessings on your family, on the Aldersgate family and on Evansville as you all miss our dear Ann. . .

I only had the privilege of meeting Ann once at Journey 4 in January 2009 but I was impacted by the love of Christ in a way I have never experienced before. At the time I was unaware of Ann’s condition until Randy spoke about Ann in his session for the guys group. I was blown away by this testimony and his strength for his wife and the desire and strength it took for Ann to speak to the college girls. At the end of that weekend everyone who had gone through Journey sat on one side of the auditorium while all the supporters, family members and friends of the caterpillars filled the rest of the room. As one of the spiritual directors I sat on the stage and looked at every face in the room. Randy was sitting in the middle of the caterpillars and I saw Ann sitting on the front row of the support section. Toward the end of the ceremony Ann looked tired and was having a hard time sitting up straight. In the middle of the song “In Christ Alone”, two of the college girls stood up, walked across the room and sat one on either side of Ann wrapping their arms around her and held her, swaying her and singing. In an instant I saw Christ through Ann’s obvious spiritual impact on those college girls and the love of Christ in those girls physically loving Ann. It was a scene that I will never forget and the most power expression of God’s children taking care of each other I have ever personally seen. Thank you for your service Ann.

In Christ Alone,

Although I've never met the Moore family, I feel as if I

Randy, and the children , I'm sure the loss is almost
unbearable. I also felt a great joy for Ann, she is not
suffering anymore and is walking on the streets of gold.
She will live on through those that loved her and even
strangers she touched unaware. May God's love
continue to sustain you all , my thoughts and prayers

Dear Moore Family,
I lost my dear mother to pancreatic cancer on May 27,
2007. She was named Ann. Shortly thereafter, I
started following Ann's story on this website. Although,
I never met her, following her story has been so
helpful to me. Her sweetness and faith came through
my computer, and she reminded me so much of my
mother. I have rooted for her and prayed for her, and so
hoped she would beat this. With that being said, I know
today she has the greatest peace and joy of all.
I know how hard this will be for you all, but you will be
suprised...your dear sweet mother gave you all the
coping skills and love you will need until you meet again.
Thank you so much for sharing her with us, and may God
be with you during this difficult time.
With sympathy, Meredith Haugabook- Marietta, GA

I send my love and prayers to Ann's children - your mom seemed amazing and so full of faith. It will carry you in your grief more than you ever imagined. Here are some thoughts on my blog about my mom's love. God's peace be with you - http://eternallove-amomsgift.blogspot.com/

My prayers are with you Randy, Meridith, Erin, and Andrew, Bobby, Sue and the rest of the family. Randy I met you and Ann through your parents at First Southern. I have followed your family's journey through this web site. What a testimony Ann's life has been and will continue to be. May God give your family extra grace in the days ahead.
