Moselle was such a wonderful Godly woman. My children and I will miss her greatly. She was a wonderful neighbor, always coming over to bring snacks, flower clippings, or anything else she thought the kids and I might like. Her and Don would sit out on the front porch and wait for me to walk back with my children from school, just so we could visit a while. She was like a surrogate Grandmother to me and Great-grandmother to my children. I will only shed happy tears because I know that she is no longer in pain and with our wonderful Maker in Heaven. Rest In Peace Moselle. We will never forget you!!
