My deepest condolences to the Moseberth's family. Your family has been part of ours for decades. My mom (Gilda Barber) was a loyal employee of Moseberths for over 30 years. She loves this family and has such fond memories of Mr. Moseberth's kindness. Be encouraged by the legacy your father left behind. Bruce and Lenny and family my prayers are with you.
