Obit: My grandfather, Franklin Pierce Moore, date of birth 8-29-09 (Louisville, Kentucky) died in his home from bronchopneumonia on 12-24-37. He was 28 years old and left behind my mother, Minnie Delores Moore (3-8-33) and my grandmother, Helen Marie Moore (12-20-13 to 4-9-71). Both born in Mount Vernon Indiana. Frank's sisters Mamie Moore Callicoate and Ethel Moore Shilling also survived Frank. The wind shifted before my birth and grandpa and your ship sailed away. But I do remember the cloud that came over Christmas Eve and I have thought and know of the impact of loosing a loved one, even before my own birth in 1954. You beautiful green eyes showed up in my two brothers. See u when the wind shifts my sails.
