Our Thoughts and Prayers, but most of all, Our Love to You All. We have so many wonderful memories to cherish. Texas tea - guitar and cigarette in the frets while Moosie played and sang at R.R. 7, always with a big grin and a twinkle in her eye. She would give you her last dollar never ask what it was for and never expected it back. They broke the mold when they made Moosie......she was truly one of a kind. Our Love John and "Chrissy" Greeley

"Mama Moose" "She sleeps in Peace". Finding words to express just how prominently you have affected so many; has been an extraordinary journey. In so many ways your personality reminds me of a Lighthouse; a beacon of strength during a storm. A light to guide the way in difficult times. Strength and pride, proudly displayed. Also a pillar standing strong in good times and bad. You have touched so many lives and left an indelible impression on all those you connected with. Many fond memories over the years. Blessings n Lessons. Its always one or the other. There were of course tough times too, but the sun always came out; over "The Lighthouse". From til all hours to Texas Tea n Wall Flowers. Cheers Mama Moose. You had an indestructible spirit and the Strength and grace of "Moose". Whether it was fixing to do repairs or fixing to do "Wheelchair Races"; you always did with informative details as well as a ton of laughs and fierce competition. You were on my mind and in my heart every second and the courage and character with which you fought this battle were nothing short of Amazing. Many years of Celebrations and milestones were shared. Remembering each new friend along the way and growing the family. We have lost so many and so many new ones have arrived. Each blessed and enriched in their own special way. Your strength, grace, and character will live on in each one; forever. May you find familiarity, family and friends to Welcome you and get the "Texas Tea" flowing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Family; Friends and of course "Papa Trains". Wishing you all strength in this profound loss. Cheers Mama Moose Love and Light, Peaceful rest. Love Always and Forever Brenda, Paige, Nathaniel and Kristina. XOXOXO

Moose welcomed me with open arms the minute I was introduced to her. She had a warm “moose hug” and a coffee any time. She treated me as if I was one of her own and we had many a good chat and even better laughs!! She introduced me to “Cotton-eyed Joe” and her step Dancin’.... and held my wedding gown for me in the bathroom...LOL... one of her best lines (that I still use) was to her granddaughter........ “honey don’t pick your nose-have a cookie” She loved immensely, laughed immensely and was an extraordinary lady!!! I will miss her terribly. My thoughts and prayers for the whole family in your time of sorrow at saying goodbye and pray that the treasured memories will in time heal the hurt. Love to you all! Ali Doyle

Moosie has been a big part of me and Ronnie's life since Ken and Patty got married. She seriously made me laugh every time we were together. My Ronnie thought of her like a second Mom mad love for that lady. We will miss her very much, miss our visits on our way home from Clinton stopping for dinner with your big crazy family. Loved her zest for life, her humour, her take it or leave it attitude, the LANGUAGE LOL; her one of a kind style. Will never forget the music get togethers and parties you and your family were always kind enough to let us slide in on it was always a great time. Loud and proud xoxo. Love to all of you I know she will leave a gaping hole in your gatherings. You got lucky having such a wonderful, vibrant and tell it straight person in your lives. Special love to you Brian from both of us. Ronnie & Lisa

I will never forget her spunk, positive spirit and strong will! She had the funniest sayings and loved life. They threw away the mould when they made Moose! She will always have a piece of my heart! I’m sending the Goodburn Family so much Love. I wish I could be home to attend.
