    Bernie, Tim, Sheila and Family, I am so sorry I cannot be there in person, but please know I am thinking and praying for all of you during this difficult time. Moyne will always hold a special spot in my heart. Helping me as a little boy at Burris, watching her play the organ at church, watching my granddad Beasley give her funny Christmas presents at great grandmother Ester's house. As a family we always had a lot of fun, I miss those days. I love all of you very much. May God hold an comfort you and may warm memories always bring a smile to your face. God Bless, Zach Beasley

    Moyne was a valued member of our church family. She truly brightened every Sunday morning with her glow. She extended that out to the community in her life and work. I am sad that I will not again see her in this world but know that I will in the next.

    To Bernard, Craig and all the family members, Moyne loved all of you so much! You were her pride and joy. She took such good care of the Burris School students, families and staff. We all know who ran that school! Moyne will be missed everyday. She was such a support to me in my daily school activities for 28 years, as well as showing concern about my family. I will miss her loving care.

    Moyne, was not only my sweet cousin , but a friend to all, one of the nicest people ever! In the afternoons when I worked in the after school program for children , If I needed something or if thier was a problem, she would always try to help in any way possible, such wonderful person always. She certainly will be missed and will remain in our hearts.

    Moyne will be missed terribly by her Burris family. She came to school and made a difference everyday. What an awesome opportunity that she took every chance she got. She has helped countless children privately by donating clothing and other necessities that she knew they needed. She had such a giving heart--you knew she would do all she could to help you or solve a problem. And she fought for you and what she thought was right! What a blessing it has been to work with her the last 24 years. Her spunky spirit will live on in all of us she has impacted with her work ethic and generosity. We are better people because of her. Thank you Moyne.
