Ena, so sorry to hear of Moses passing ,thinking of you and your family at this very sad time.
A beautiful gentle soul is wining its way to heaven, our beloved Mose has passed away.
Ena and family. We were saddened to hear of Mose being sick and had passed away. Tears were frozen in my eyes as I remembered the hundreds of times he pulled up at my door on Sunday morning to take us to church at St. michael’s. When I walked in with six children for the first time at St. Michael’s it was Mose who led us to our seat in a welcoming way. The children loved him and Ena.
My thioughts and prayers are with you during this time. In your grieving, let him soar at his own speed to his maker whom he loves, flying high above us all – one more angel to watch over us.
Remember too,, that in a short time we will all be there together once again..
God bless you Ena. Cling close to your family and relive all the beautiful memories you have of Mose. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
He heard the voice of Jesus say “Come unto me and rest”…
Ena, Nadine, Dexter and Jason, sorry to hear about the loss of Mose. he was a funny guy and raised some great kids. Wishing you all the best
To All the Family,
Condolences on the passing of Moses. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
