You & Mossie were my good, sweet, fine, loving, neighbors when you lived across the road from us on Sand Hill Rd. Mossie came to see me one day and told me that we don’t visit often, but all of your neighbors are here when you need us. Your loss is heaven’s gain. She now has her memory back and will be rejoicing before the Lord’s throne with all of her family and friends who have gone on before. My sincere love & sympathy,
Sue Jones
Cecil & family,
I learned alot from Mossie. I know she is with the Lord and what a great homecoming it will be when we all get to heaven one day soon. She’s just a few steps ahead of us. The Lord is selective of who he takes first and he needed Mossie to help him prepare heaven for us all. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Jim, Sue & Family,

Dear Cecil and Family, I was so sad to learn of Mossie’s passing. Mossie was the first person to call on my family when we lost our young son. Later I had the pleasure of working with Mossie in Tech Service at American Enka. She brought fun and happiness to work each day. I can hear her little giggle still. She will be sorely missed by her many friends. May God bless each of you during the following days.
Mossie was one of the most wonderful ladies I have ever known and will be dearly missed. She was an angel on earth and being around her you knew the presence of the Lord was there and you were with one of His angels. I will truly miss her always , but there is no doubt in my mind we will meet again on God’s golden shores.
Cecil,
Our Brother, our prayers and love are with you. Mossie was a wonderful lady and we will truly miss her. May God bless you.
