Hi John, I am so sorry for your loss. Never got to meet your Mom but I am sure she was a wonderful woman who raised one terrific son. Please accept my thoughts and prayers in this most difficult time. When you get the opportunity call me @610-420-4742…I would love to hear your voice…All my best, Goose
R I P Sophia, your kind words will never be forgotten
I am now able to send my deepest sorrows to you all. I have tried to reach my dear sister so many times during the past year, as well as you John. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be. Sophie knew how very much I loved her. I am so deeply sorry.
To the Moses Family:
Sorry to hear about your mother.
Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
With deepest condolences,
Pete & Erin Cuffaro
Wheeling, West Virginia
To Jim and Family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. She was a wonderful!
I knew Mrs. Moses from attending St. Joseph’s Cathedral. She was a constant presence there every Sunday for 10:30 a.m. Mass. I even remember where she always sat in church. She was a very kind, gracious and spiritual lady. I also had the pleasure to know Mr. Moses also from church, where he served as Deacon for many years. If you knew these wonderful two people even slightly, you know that they were dedicated to their large family, their community, and especially to their faith. It was an honor to know them. I send my condolences to the Moses family, and in particular, my friends John and Jo. May Mrs. Moses rest in peace.
Dear John and Family Moses, I am so sorry that you have lost your beloved mother. She is irreplaceable in your life, in your family and in our world. She spoke to me on innumerable Sunday mornings in the words of the first and second ‘readings’ – never using her own words but always, obviously, sharing her faith-full life. Her blessings continue . . .for you, her wonderful family and for us, who knew her from afar
Trying to summarize a lifetime of memories of your grandma in a few paragraphs is difficult to say the least. I will always cherish all of the memories of my grandma – the funny & pleasant along with the sad ones too. I know how much she loved all of us grandkids & spoiled us but not too much, lol. I wish I was able to pay my final respects in person but I’ll be thinking of her. Love you Grandma & rest in peace. Oh one other thing when you see Grandpa please ask Grandpa to go easy with the face slap next time I see him, lol.
Sorry for your loss Joan, keep all the memories alive for yourself & the kids. Prayers & hugs
My condolences to the family of Sophia especially those I had the pleasure of working with, John,Joe,Jim and Jerry. They were not only good people but very funny. Your mom raised some great kids! May she rest in peace.
