She was a joyful person and we always loved visiting her home during the holidays. She will be missed!
I often visited the Moon residence as a child because I was friends with Debra. I saw firsthand what a devoted mother Mrs. Moon was. She was gracious and kind to me, and I am grateful to her for that. I pray that God comforts her family and gives them peace as only He can until we see her again in Heaven.
Don was in our crew on the Colville Indian Reservation,in 1957 and he and Bobby became our fast friends there, and they again were in our crew on the Mescalero Reservation. We have been the closest of friends ever since. Bobby was one of the nicest persons we have ever known and she will be missed very much. Our condolences to her family, we know how close they all were
