Prayers and thoughts are with her family. I worked with Mozetta at Belk´s in the 70´s and she was certainly a pleasure to work with. She was kind and friendly. I always looked forward to going to work when I knew she was working. Even though, we didn´t stay in touch, I thought of her often. Mozetta was an exceptional individual, that always enlightened me. May she rest in peace.
