Dear Dianne, Your mum, dearest Moira, is loved and missed by so many but mostly by her family and you, Ali & Tracey, most of all. She was so strong and brave through so much and it is a blessing to know she is now at peace and her struggle during the last few months of her life here on earth are over and she is now in a better place, in the arms of Jesus. Moira will always be remembered with love and our memories of her and our times together will never be forgotten. Your mum was one in a million and we all loved her dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always. God bless. Love Janet, Colin, Elaine and Karen PS It is thanks to Moira and her love of cooking that I am now able to cope with Christmas dinner and especially superb roast potatoes.

We first met Moira in 1988. We were about to get married and had bought our first house together. Little were we to know that living next door was a wee Fife wummin who would become one of our dearest friends. For 13 years Moira was our neighbour. She was thoughtful and kind (e.g. taking in our washing on rainy days and giving it back nicely ironed!). She was giving and generous (with both her time and her lovely home cooking!). She was diplomatic and tolerant (of her noisy neighbours who liked the wild look garden!). All in all Moira was the perfect neighbour.
But more than that...Moira became to both of us, a loving and true friend. We shared some of the happiest and saddest times in our lives with Moira. She supported us, inspired us and prayed with us. When we reflect on some of the positive influences in our lives and in our faith, the name Moira McHardy is high on the list.

I liked visiting Moira in Newport. At her house I got good snacks and got to play her piano. She was really nice. Lewis (8)

A Tribute to Moira A friend for over fifty years, I have many memories to reminisce, the sad ones overtaken by all the happy ones. Moira had mountains to climb during her life but she seemed to conquer each one and rarely complained with what she had to endure. She made me feel quite humble, as she went about her daily chores, having to rest each afternoon and have two hours on her machine, which to anyone would be a life sentence, but to Moira it was her ''life'' and took it in her stride. She had great inner strength which she found in her Church and meetings. Acceptance to some challenges which are sent to try us can be difficult but when I think of Moira, she showed it can be done, for that I greatly admired her, and privileged to have known her.
For Alister and Dianne she was a wonderful Mum and one to be proud about.

Moira's contribution, to the life of the Church and to the WebChurch, through her prayers and her kindness, is inestimable. Moira was an inspiration and example as well as a dear friend to many people in Newport. As she prayed for people across the world who contacted the WebChurch, she became precious to people who had never met her but who so valued the reassurance that someone was standing with them, supporting them in prayer in difficult times. Moira was an immense encouragement to me. Every day I was at home I looked out my window down to her street and felt better knowing she was there faithfully praying and cheerfully pressing on. Moira's sense of fun was irrepressible - I remember her arriving decorated in tinsel one Christmas. Like so many people I loved her dearly and treasure the privilege of having known her.

It was in l968 that I introduced myself to Moira. We had lots of happy, fun times with our children together. I had tremendous admiration for Moira who was able to cope with her illness quietly and with the knowledge that she was not alone, her faith steadfast. Moira was a dear friend to me, who I miss and think of often. Margaret

We are delighted to be able to add our Tribute to celebrate the life of a very courageous lady. We felt as if we'd known Moira such a long time - in fact since our children were at primary school together. She was always an inspiration to us and had a deep and true faith. In fact if we were grumbling about colds and sniffles, we felt quite ashamed when we actually stopped to remember Moira's ill health and all that she had to cope with - and never even a word of complaint. Yes, she was a very courageous lady and much loved and surely missed by so many. Brian and Anne, Kilmany.
