Moses was a special person, there needs to be more men like him. He embraced life and if you were his friend, you knew it and he watched over you. I will miss you. I feel so blessed to have known you. Tania I am praying for you.
May the peace that passes all understanding keep you and comfort you.

Moses, still can't believe you are gone. Way too soon. Your smile, and sense of humor will never be forgotten. You lived life to the fullest, and did more in 36 years than most do in a lifetime. I hope you are in peace now. Tania, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

My sincerest thoughts, prayers and condolences to those touched by Moses' love and affection. In this time of grief, I pray you find comfort in God, knowing Moses would want you to stay strong and continue on. I ask that God guide you in faith knowing His Will took course, and only when we join Moses will we know His reason for taking a beautiful spirit away so soon.

Dear Tania, My heart and thoughts go out to you and your family at the loss of your husband, Moses. I haven't seen you since you were a young girl (I still remember you that way!), but I have thought of your family often over the years and know that they will be a great source of strength and comfort to you. I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to the wake this evening; it would've been wonderful to see
everyone, though I wish it were happier circumstances.

Fondly,
Robyn (Carey) McEvoy

Moses... such an amazing person who was taken from this Earth too soon...You had the most infectious smile and the greatest laugh. You brought joy to so many people through your work in the community and your involvement in social and political causes that were so important to you. Your heart was so big and you gave so much of yourself freely. You will be missed greatly. The last time we spoke was shortly after you returned from your holiday visit back home. You were talking so fondly about Kenya and how you were looking forward to returning... you are returning back home now...kupumzika kwa amani rafiki yangu mpendwa. My sincerest condolences to your mother, wife and family.

Moses, I can't believe you're gone. I am going to miss you so much. I will never forget how you made me laugh in computer class imitating Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade. We laughed so much that the instructor separated us. My heart is aching for you and your family. You will be forever missed by me and many more. You had a personality that no one could ever forget. Tania I will pray for you and your family.

Rest in peace Moses! Thank you for taking me under your wing 12 years ago. I still can't believe this. You were a great friend, a role model to many & an inspiration. I'll forever cherish our late nights at Bickfords, Celtic games, camping trips, all of our laughs and your handsome smile. You were truly a wonderful man-inside and out. You gave without hesitation, helped so many and have definitely changed my view on life. Rest in peace buddy. Lots of prayers, strength & love to your wife, family and friends at this time. May their memories get them through this hard time. I'll see you on the other side. Give my dad a hug for me...love ya dude!
