    I had the honor to do Cleo’s hair for 20 years. I have a really nice story to share. Cleo was so lonely after Betty passed and I said to Cleo that she needed a puppy. Cleo said that the puppy would out live her and I told her that many of her friends would love that puppy if anything happened to her. My neighbor had a puppy that needed a new home because her kids were to rough with him and accidentally broke his leg. Surgery was done and I asked Cleo to take a look at him. she agreed and said that she would name the dog Teddy. The strange thing is, is that the dog was already named Teddy and my neighbor and Cleo shared the same last name,Moore. It was meant to be and Cleo absolutely loved Teddy for 16 + years. When Teddy passed Cleo was devistated. She loved that little piece of joy! I’m so glad I could help her out with little Teddy! Love you Cleo! You will be deeply missed by many! See you in heaven girl!
