Today marks four years since you left us. I look at this picture and realize it was the last time I kissed your cheeks. The last time you kissed mine. I’m forever grateful for your wisdom and love you put inside of me. Rest easy Granny. Forever in my heart and forever will your legacy live on in my heart and family. ♥️♥️♥️

Granny, I really wish you were here still. So I can lay my head in your lap and let these tears flow. I hope that your comforting lap is now, my brother’s pillow. Hold him tight and know I miss you both dearly. I love you ❤️

Your Daughter,

Another year has passed and your presence is still greatly missed, a space that will never be filled.
You are loved and missed immensely….
Happy Mother’s Day 

Mom :
Not a day goes by where I don't woefully miss u. I remember when that delivery truck pulled up in front of our house on Kendall; I didn't know u had been out shopping for a record player the house.  The delivery men brought in a big beautiful floor model Zenith ; it had a set of wine glasses in it; an 8 -track tape player and a LOTTA BASS. U would play all ur doo - wop, blues,  40s, 50s & classical music,Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles  country, and Motown records / LPs, and the music would fill the house from  the upstairs to the basement; we'd be saturated w the best musical education, even our own peers aren't as lucky as we were.  And the meals were absolutely delicious; keeping all our hungry bellies full couldn'tve been easy, but u managed to somehow pull it off. I miss ur dear voice and laughter. Will b visiting ur resting place w flowers  u & Lionel's birthday. Just a few words to let u know how we sorely miss thee. Always on my mind and in my ❤️.....

What an amazing testimony of a life well-lived!

I want to believe this date approaching never happened. But it did, and life has continued for us all with a consistent ache in our hearts. You were a dominant factor in our lives. My tears and sorrow is my own selfishness of letting you go. Oh, how I wish you were here. But you did your diligence over and beyond! I know you are with Lionel, Papa, Great- grandma, Aunt Geri, K.D , our grandfather and many others you loved. Rest in heaven, beautiful one. 

Granny, I found myself calling your phone when one of the movies we watched  together came on AMC.  I watched Harvey Girls and thought of you the entire movie and could hear you singing. Thank you for being the best grandmother anyone could ask for.  I miss you and will always love you my Granny.

Aunt Shirley, I'll never forget you, I will miss you dearly. I remember the last time i saw you, I came to detroit with my 2  boys. it was 10yrs ago. I remember you came to pick me up from the hotel and had on some shorts, and i kept looking at you because you were in your 70's and still had pretty legs(lol) . You always took special care of me whenever you saw me, I remember staying with you in Mississippi, I felt just like I was at home and you made sure everyone else treated me good too. I remember you fussing at David about me, lol...Never had to worry about nothing while i was in your presence. I love you and will miss you. May you rest in heaven  and kiss everybody for me, 


Thank You Aunt SHIRLEY for all the LOVE and MEMORIES ETERNAL LOVE FOR YOU 

Thank you granny for being my granny i will miss your smiling face and funny jokes. You will not be forgotten. Absent in body is present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8.

I love you my dear Aunt Shirley, thank you for your gift of love to me . I’ll never forget. 

 Sending Love and prayers to the Family during this difficult time. May you all find peace in your hearts remembering the love she shared. 
Growing up I remember visiting her home often with my friend Christina when she lived on Calvert and Dexter. She welcomed me in her home as if I were one of her own grandchildren.

Rest in Heaven Grandma Mosely. Your presence on this earth will truly be missed.

Love Tanisha Wells💕

My Mother,
I remember when my Mom was 28 years old because I asked her. I thought she was older. We always thought that people were at least 100 years old - I was six. Everything was new to Mom. Raising a family with help from her mother. Buying her first car, a brand new 1964 aqua blue Rambler. We couldn't wait to get our first ride in it. Then as in every first day of May 1965. Her first home - 2046 Kendall Det 48238. I would call her and say thank you for the home memories although we were there for only a short time (9 years). School and church around the corner. She instilled independence for us to do for ourselves and help others. She put us in clubs - The Jr. DTRS for the girls and PAL Big Brothers for the boys. She worked hard and put 3 of us girls in private school. She made sure we had cultural entertainment from Broadway to sports. God was at every meal and night prayer. She would tell me to hold my head up high don't look down because I was to grow up to be a tall woman. She said to face everyone head on and to stand up for myself and what was right. She was a grand - lady - wise -smart. She was a powerhouse - always protected her children. Spoke up for her family. Our needs were always met. We wanted for nothing. We had holiday attire and many picnics and beach outings. She often let us bring our friends. She played Boogie Man when we were younger to neighborhood kids. 

My Mom is always with me. I'll write many more letters of love to her as my years go by.
              
                                                           I Love You Mom


Again we have come to another  fork in the road  and we can't decide which road to take.
Again the lord has taken our love one and our thoughts are (for ,'God sake !'
We just answered our own question
                 'For God Sake'


 We must thank God for our mother and love ones ,God has chosen them to grace our life so, we must Honor their presence and keep them in our hearts and memories.
So join me family remember her heart 
and don't forget to pray. After all


     '  She would want it that way'


Your Brother In Law,
Neal

Although I cannot see you,
I feel your presence near me.
I will always hold you close in my heart and memory. We all know that know GOD took the very best. So rest now, Granny. I'll never forget you.
So until my hand meets yours again,
Sleep now in the sun. Love always,

             Vannessa Granddaughter 



Each morning I prepare for work, and  miss our early morning calls, reminds just how blessed I have been to have you are these years.  I am learning a the true meaning of cherished memories. That is a new found challenge,  this life brings.  But I have watched you through the years , continue to live,  thrive, and cherish memories of love ones who proceeded you in death.  You are now the Wind Beneath My Wings.. Once, Twice,  Three Times A Lady and I Love you. Tina

Granny, I will miss you. I will always think of you as a woman of greatness and pride. I am forever thankful for who you are to me and for providing me a mother that exhibits your best attributes. I have inherited greatness because of you. Rest well and I will see you again one day and have our 30 second conversations and laugh like the old days. 
I love you 

Hey Granny. Your Great Great Grandson Royal and I love and miss you so so much! I'm so grateful you were able to meet him. We love you always and forever Granny.




Because You’re Always Thought About In Such A Special Way , Because You Always Did So Much To Brighten Up Each Day & Because You Cared For Others Selflessly Your Whole Life Through I Say A Little Prayer Each Day Especially For You That Heaven Will Protect You And Will Somehow Let You Know That Granny You Mean So Much To Me I Miss You Dearly & That I’ll Think About You As I Travel On Life’s Way & Keep You Safe Within My Heart Forever & A Day .

Dear granny I'm miss you soo much you was always there for me when I didn't have no one else to go to. I will always remember the time me and my mom didn't have a place to sleep you would have a spot for us in the your home. Having all the family visiting you at your small appartment but we always made it work. Fighting Glenn and going to the movies with you. I could never repay the amount of love and care you had for me. I'm  miss you soo much may you rest in peace. LOVE YOU ALWAYS 

Mother
You were truly my greatest inspiration. You were my rock who kept me centered. You were my hero. My six million dollar Mom!! You were one in a million.
I'll love you forever Mother.

She was our Mother.  Someone we knew loved all of us no matter what. She never stopped being a Mom always very concerned about our health and well being.  I always liked when we would attend 11am MASS at SACRED HEART Church and watch her enjoy spending time with a few classmates from Sacred Heart HS. All of the great CHRISTMAS DAYS and other Holidays she made special. Her one of a king laugh. Her favorite movies and music. I LOVE YOU MOTHER DEAR.
.

Granny,
You will be always be loved and missed every day for the rest of my life. I will hold on to the memories I have until I see you again. I love you always.

My mother was more than just mom; she was my inspiration.  She was my ultimate encourager always believing in me.  Her words ensured me and emboldened me to aspire to do much more than I would have ever considered apart from her.  When I consider the road she traveled in rearing seven sometimes unruly children born within a nine-year span I continue to be amazed.  What amazing perseverance.  I could not have done that.  For your willing sacrifice, many sleepless nights, and unrelenting love, I salute you Shirley Mosely.  I miss you and pray to be rejoined with you.  Until we meet again, I’ll listen for your voice singing in that heavenly choir.

Even in death you are still loved and forever will be. You have touched the hearts of so many who owe you a lifetime of gratitude. We are not saying goodbye forever but goodbye for now. I pray you find peace and rest. I love you Granny and always will.

    Love always your granddaughter 
                         Vannessa 

I remember visiting Granny in the summertime and watching Stormy Weather with Lena Horne and many of her favorite movies. I am going to always remember that because it was those times I got the opportunity to spend one on one time with my Granny. One of the things would do for me is make chicken and dumplings. Omg, they were so good. I wish I could make them as good as she did. 

I also remember Granny giving me a doll when I lived in Mississippi as child that sucks it’s thumb and not to long ago I told her I still have it. She was so surprised I still had it after all these. This is something that I will continue to treasure. 

I love you always ❤️

Granny, may you rest in peace for which you truly deserve, For you will be truly missed and remembered for your love and honor in which we will preserve. We love you always and forever. The best grandmother that granddaughter could ever ask for.  I love you Granny thank you for everything. 

My mom excelled at doing a very hard job, raising seven children at a time when single parenting wasn't the norm.  I love you, Suzanne. 

Granny you was always there for me when I needed you for the little things to the big ones helping me with your great grand kids  which  we all  are so lucky to have so a wonderful granny and great grandmother in are life I will always love and miss you . Adrienne 

I remember coming there to visit with my grandma and you took me to circus circus to ride the rides and I enjoyed that day with you I will always love you my Great Grandmother

 I will definitely miss your words of encouragement and the time we did spend together when I came and visited you. 

I will always remember my Granny’s uplifting voice. Firstly, Granny made the best macaroni and cheese to me. My favorite memories with Granny were riding with her to complete her errands and polishing her toenails. I miss riding with Granny and laughing at her road rage or joking about her falling asleep in the movie theaters. I love and miss her so much. Granny loved to spend time with all of us and always put smiles on our faces. Our last drive together was in Las Vegas, 2018. We were out together that whole day; however, I would have added more to our day if I had known it was our last outing. I will forever miss her and appreciate how much she has done for this entire family. I am overjoyed that I have birthday cards and letters to hold onto from her. I am even more glad that I have had my great-grandmother in my life for this long. I wish I could thank her and kiss her one last time.. I will always cherish our JC Penny’s visits, cooking moments, and after school visits. I remember when Granny chaperoned me during my Detroit Zoo trip in the first grade. She has always been there for me and I will never forget my Granny.❤️ I took this picture during the last car ride with Granny. I love you!

Granny, you were a strong black woman who took care and loved your family.  You showed everyone that love was an action word.  Always doing something, providing, and thinking about all of us never missing a birthday.  You were AWESOME!   I want to thank you for introducing me to music and Broadway musicals.  So many ways to remember you by filling my home with music we enjoyed together.  You called me your #1 Grandson, but you were #1, The Best Grandmother. 

U were a mighty fortress of love in our family Mom; u worked tirelessly to provide us w the comfort of a single family home, sent us to Catholic schools, decent clothing, and happy holidays.  You instilled in all your descendants cleanliness, responsibility and morals. You never charged money for babysitting or for any of those big delicious meals you'd cook, when you'd invite family gatherings. Your presence and laughter would bring us all memorable joy.  All of us who knew you, loved and revered you. You were our dear Mom and Granny. I was eagerly looking forward to your homecoming so I could take care of you and keep u comfortable, but for God's Will, it was never meant to be. But we all take comfort in knowing that you are in the arms of the Lord. Mom, you will be forever missed by us all.
"Her children arise and call her blessed."    Proverbs 31: 28

Rest in peace Granny. You were the world's best grandmother. Thank you for all the love you gave me and all the precious moments we shared.  You will be in heart with me everyday until I die. I hope to see you again in heaven.

                                                   

To my Great Aunt Shirley, 

   What can be said about a person that embodied so many things for so many people? You were/are what is the driving force of existence, (Love). My Grandmother Geraldine had so much love and respect for you, so I can't grieve your home going because I know you two are together again.  I will miss all of the parties and meals and sleepovers we had at your house when we were all younger. You still happen to be one of my favorite cooks and you used to feed me way past full.  I love you with all of me, you will be missed. -Joey 

I have had the fortune I having two mothers in my lifetime and I am grateful to the both of you Shirley and Mary U2 mothers are the givers of life because you gave me life and I join my company with the both of you and I am blessed the day that I found you in my life and I enjoyed and happy when I found my brothers and sisters and I love each and everyone of you thank you Shirley for being in my life

R.I.P.  Miss Shirley,    My condolences  and prayers,  to the  family 

You have told me many times to write down your recipe's and family tree information in a journal.  Because one day you would not remember or be here to tell me.  Just, last month I called you for your corn beef and cabbage recipe.  You got half way through it and changed the subject.  The memory of your forewarning me, became a reality.  We both laughed about it.  But now I shed tears of gratitude for your many recipes for life, you have put in my ears for 41 years.  Forever grateful for your unconditional love,  support and prayers for me.  You will always be with me in spirit.  I love you now and forever.  Tina. 

You will be missed tremendously. Even though, I wasn’t your biological granddaughter you always treated me as one of your own. You made feel like I was more than Tina’s best friend in your home. I have so many memories as a teenager when you lived on Calvert St. My memories included me and Tina  watching old movies and listening to old music with you. Granny, I love you until we meet again.  Rest in heaven.

Michelle
