Reflections for Sergeant Matthew Chandler Moore

The last two years seem like decades. I will always miss the phone calls where one of us was seeking information from the other or just plain trying to stay awake during those night shifts. We love and miss you Lil’ brother .
You are not forgotten!

I had no idea about this website. I am the oldest sister of Chandler. I am still grieving the loss of my sweet brother, my very best friend, the one and only man I ever trusted. I want to thank all of you for your kind words. This has been the hardest thing I have ever been through in my life. I never thought I would wake up each day and say aloud, "How did I get here and how do I get back?" I visit his grave at least 3 days a week. I cry for him every single day. I don't dwell on his passing like before but, he is always present. He speaks to me.....still. Someone that is very close to my brother and I sat with me at his grave a few weeks ago and said, "It says in the Bible that all the dead in Christ shall rise first, so why is he still here?" I honestly didn't know what to say until a week or so later.....I called this person and said, "He is with our Lord, his body will meet his soul when Christ returns and be made anew." He responded, "Yes, I know, but why is Chandler still here?" Ohhhhh, I see what you mean now, I said. I looked at the sad face looking at mine and said, "I feel him too, I know he is here too, and I'm not sure why, yet.....I do know that I listen to him..... I sure do miss him, more than any words ever spoken, I miss my sweet brother. Ya know, he was the ONLY one in my life that knew me and loved me anyway......Please continue to pray for us, it has changed us all and torn pieces of us away that will never mend. I showed his oldest child Sadie these kind words and she doesn't quite understand but those words are of her daddy and the smile on her face was priceless. Thank you again for taking time to reflect, it meant the world to me. I love you all!! Mary Lynn Moore-Leslie :)

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

Sergeant Moore, for many years, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. It took a small virus to take your life. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. My heart breaks for the sorrow that your parents are experiencing over the loss of their son. May God immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

Heavenly Father, You commit to us the swift and solemn trust of life: since we know not what a day may bring forth, but only that the hour for serving You is always present, may we wake to the instant claims of Your will upon our lives. In the face of questions without answers, of dreams unfulfilled, of the emptiness that will not go away, we are only compelled to thank You always for lives faithfully lived, for good memories and living hopes. We are reminded as we pray for family and friends who are touched with the feeling of sorrow, that we pray to one who does not let go unnoticed even the falling of a sparrow to earth. We pray to one who weeps for his world, and therefore we come trusting that in life or death, we may find rest and comfort in Him. In Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen
