How sweet paradise must be...by Meredith
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
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!!!
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.

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
Praying always for you Randy, Erin, Meredith, Andrew and family
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,

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
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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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
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

at a young age of 38. I am now 46 and I am batteling
cancer myself. Mine is breast cancer, but cancer has no
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.
to help - just want you all to know I love Ann and I
love you all, Melonie Stewart Murphy
I lost my own mom several years ago and I can tell you that you'll feel her presence in your heart for the rest of your life. You'll somehow just know that she's with you. It's a beautiful feeling and it'll carry you through.
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.

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.
In Christ Alone,

to Ann's wonderful family.
when they were on together. I missed Ann so much
when she left. She was a class act and a beautiful
lady. My prayers are with you now. I can see how
Ann has touched so many lives and now she is
touching even more. Thank God for people like her
and the entire Moore family. You have all set wonderful
examples of how the grace of God shall save us.
know them via television. I felt a deep sadness for
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
are with you.
Her family is in my thoughts and prayers.
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.

ALWAYS ENJOYED WATCHING ANN WHEN SHE WAS A NEWS ANCHOR AND WHEN BOTH SHE AND RANDY
CO-ANCHORED TOGETHER. SHE MADE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU KNEW HER AND YOU WERE HER FRIEND. WHAT
I HAVE READ ABOUT HER, SHE SOUNDED LIKE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND I KNOW HEAVEN IS MUCH
BRIGHTER WITH HER THERE.
