Mary MOSS Obituary
In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, a willow tree; in cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free! It is with profound gratitude for her precious and radiant life that the family of Mary Joan Moss announces her serene and peaceful passing on July 4, 2013 at home with her family by her side. Her courage and faith inspired and taught us the definition of grace, love and community. Mary was a devoted and beloved wife, momma bear, Nana-Jo, sister and friend. The fruitfulness of her love and spirit will continue to blossom in the lives of those she touched. She is a pillar and example of living fully, loving deeply, learning passionately, and walking faithfully with the Lord. Life is eternal and love is immortal and death is only a horizon and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight (Rositter W. Raymond). With love until we reunite again! A Celebration of Mary's life will be held at Bethany Chapel (3333 Richardson Way S.W., Calgary, AB) on Monday, July 15, 2013 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Wellspring Calgary. Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.myalternatives.ca.

I enjoyed our appointments together in Dr. Matt's office. You're such a lovely person. I'll miss you so much.

Thoughts of Mary - beauty, elegance, grace, dignity, wisdom, selflessness - an angel on earth...and now in heaven.

One more turn of the wheel, Mary the lovely one. Her beauty, her spirit, her dignity will always inspire me. Cycling in Sicily with her, dreaming of villas perched on the hills, amidts olive orchards, will always stay in my heart as precious memories. Marc and the children, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

A beautiful, warm and inspiring woman who truly embodied the faith she professed. We will always be grateful for her work in Sunday School - as she not only taught the Bible to our children but she modeled a vibrant relationship with God. We feel deeply privileged that our path crossed her path – but are also deeply saddened that she passed on so soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family in your time of loss.

The most beautiful of butterflies is now free. I will miss Mummy Moss tremendously. She was a ray of sunshine, a humble woman full of grace, love, wisdom and joy. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to know her. Prayers and love to the Moss family during this time of loss.

I was saddened to hear of Mary's passing this morning. She was a such a lovely dear soul that I always looked forward to visiting with, at Grassroots. We will miss you Mary. RIP my dear.

I was blessed to have met Mary at Grassroots - though the time I knew her was much too short. She was a lovely lady and will be deeply missed. My condolences to her family. Mona

Oh what mix emotions I feel as I write this.... Sad that such a wonderful lady is now gone, but thankful her fight is over. What a woman of grace,faith, and such personality! Always one to light up the room with her smile and twinkling eye! I will miss her, but I am happy for her too. I am sad for you all- but what an example she was for all of you,and us, and how blessed SHE was to have all of YOU in her corner to cheer her on in her fight, and to hold her as she passed from this earth...

Mary was such a wonderful Mom and Grandmother! I always admired her so much for her grace, love, boldness, and ability to help others through so many words of wisdom. I feel blessed and honoured to have known her in this life! She truly lived a life worth celebrating! I will always see her love, words, kindness, generosity, and wisdom living through her wonderful family members.

Mary, my dear little bliss. You were always there when I needed someone to talk to and although we lived miles apart, it was always likes yesterday when we talked. We shared all our heartaches and our celebrations together. I will so miss you but I know that you are still there as my little angel to talk to. You will be greatly missed but always in my heart.
Your Big Bliss,
Catherine

Mary Moss shared her love, her heart, and her sparkle for life with everyone she knew.
I have infinite gratitude for the boundless generosity she bestowed on me the moment I entered her family fold.
How does one adequately describe a woman who, without fail, gave me new insights on life, love and honour at every turn. She offered them to me through her children, her example and through her radiant smile.
Her eloquence lives on in the souls of an adoring family and privileged friends.
I am honoured to have her spirit reside in my heart.
