Tribute to "Mt. Lebanon's Butterfly"

"On Monday, March 14, 2005, our dear beloved First Lady of the past 40 years received her eternal reward and went to be at home with the Lord. We, the Mount Lebanon Family, are saddened by this news and we weep for our loss, but we rejoice in her grace, her gifts she gave to us, and her gain with Jesus.

The "Celebration of Life" service for Mrs. Moyd was held at the church on Friday, March 18. The family has asked if anyone wants to continue to recognize the love of Mrs. Moyd, in lieu of flowers, monetary donations may be made to the church in the name of the Olin P. and Marie E. Moyd College Scholarship Fund.

Fly Butterfly, Fly. We've loved you for 40 years on this side of glory, and we know that we will see you again someday in the city whose streets are made of pure gold. So, in the meantime, we glory in your wings and say: 'fly butterfly, fly.'"
