Dear Jill, David, Penny & Ian, - So sorry to hear about your beautiful Moira. I just wanted to send you my thoughts and prayers for you all. Louise let me know & I have read the beautiful memorial site, I echo the words of so many people. Even though it was a long time ago, Sunshine House with its amazing children, has had the most major impact on my life. Jill, you and Moira were always so inspirational to me. Your dedication & love (and that of your family), you gave Moira to allow her to grow and enjoy her life to the full has always stayed with me. In return Moira always showed such love and affection and I especially remember the times that i spent with her & Sean curled up on the sofa at bedtime, patting & holding each other, chatting away, they had a lovely relationship! She was just a little girl then but i can see from the photos and the beautiful words that she grew up to enjoy many more special moments that have touched so many people lives. She had that power to engage you and give you so much when you were with her. What a special girl, i feel priviledged to have spent those years with her and you as a family. You all taught me so much. I would have loved to come over with Louise and Lucy, unfortunately im unable, but send my thoughts, love and prayers for you all. - Lots of love Penny xxxxxxx ----- Hello David - I was so sorry to hear about Moira but keen to celebrate her life. We submitted some pictures to the web site but we are not sure if they have been received. [now on.] Both Jane and I have looked but perhaps we are too impatient. In any case you may enjoy some of the other pictures we found when looking for ones of Moira. -Regards Ken ----- Dear David and Jill, - We believe that it is today that you are having a special day to celebrate Moira's life. We hope that all those who attend share the many happy memories that were associated with Moira, and that this provides much comfort and support to you all. I particularly remember her sheer joy and appreciation of the musical sounds she created as her fingers moved over the keyboard that you had when you all lived in Blackheath. It was evident that she actively listened as each new cluster of notes changed, and her laughter, as well as her total body language, indicated that she delighted in what she achieved. Having read many of the memories posted on the web site, I gather that her interest in music developed over the years. I trust that it gave her much enjoyment. The power of music is amazing and I certainly experience the uplifting sensations (physical as well as mental) when participating in music making. I should imagine that it would have been much the same for Moira. Thank you for the web site and for including the photos that Ken scanned. There were so many of her with family and friends. All displayed the sheer joy of being alive and being involved in a great variety of activities. Thank you, also, for the detailed Christmas letter. It was, as ever, a clear insight into the ups and downs of life with the Scott family. You all continue to be in our thoughts. At the moment we are snow bound and therefore I am not at work today as the school has been closed. -Much love Jane and Ken xx ----- Dear Jill, David and Family, - With sadness I read, your letter in the NC Advertiser today and we are so sorry, Moira has passed away. Moira gave us all so much in return as we patterned her. YOU have done an excellent job, a job not many could have done in such a loving way. Moira was lucky to have you as parents. We keep you in our thoughts and prayers. We will never forget Moira. May God help you in this difficult time. -Love,  Jim, Hermine and Family. -----
