Moomey’s brain. Hall referred Moomey to neurosurgeon Dr. Mark Piedra at the Billings Clinic. “He told me it (the tumor) was in a tricky place in my brain, close to the main vein and my eye. I was 70 at the time,” Moomey said. But Moomey said she doesn’t scare easily. “I had a lot of people praying for me so I went into the surgery unafraid,” Moomey said. “I figured if I didn’t make it, I was OK because of my faith and if I did make it, it was OK.  Whatever happened, it was God’s will.” Moomey’s son, Jim, and daughter-in-law, Kristina, sat with her husband, Doug, during the four-hour surgery.

She didn’t know what would happen. The result was a gift. “The first time I sang a praise song, I could hear it,” Moomey said. “I just sat down and cried. Then I stood up and sang the second song. My friend Ileen (Stroup) was singing in front of me. When she heard me, she turned around and beamed. “God has taken me on an amazing journey.
