I can't believe this! I'm so incredibly sorry to Moiras entire family. I don't even know what to say because nothing I do will be enough.
I've known Moira a few years now with Arthur becoming best buddies with my son Braxton after starting school together.
I'm in shock.

Mary and Duncan,

Ashhurst SCD club joins all dancers who have already expressed deepest sympathy and sent messages of condolence. We had no idea that you had experienced such a loss when Saltire Scottish Dance Band played for us on Sunday. That was so stoic and courageous of all three of you - Mary on violin, Alastair on sound, Duncan on the dance floor. Be assured we are thinking of you.

On behalf of all dancers at the Ashhurst SCD Club.

I´m so deeply sorry for your loss. I went to college with Moira. She was an incredibly kind, genuine, loyal friend. I remember her for her gentle demeanour, beautiful smile, a that she was a talented flute player. In fact, she was good at everything she did! It´s devastating to lose her so young and with a young family. My thoughts are with her family and her children now and I hope you are lovingly surrounded in support at this time.
