There are so many thoughts in my mind. My mom and I were talking about you earlier this week. Just reminiscing about her growing up and raising me. She ended the conversation by saying, "I miss that woman"! The grandkids and I are keeping her happy/entertained.
My life has come full circle. The older I get, the more I understand my life´s purpose. I miss you & all the fam who has left us in this life... I Love You All!
PS: Please mend all of our broken hearts & Create closure where there is distance.

Grandma,
You're always in my thoughts. I miss you so much!! I wish you could see the lovely mirror you gifted me, now hanging in my home. A. Wanda says I clean too much just like momma. I'm going to make some rice pudding today in your memory. Keep watching over us and I pray I'm making you and our other ancestors proud.
Love, Nikki

I really miss my grandma... I know my mommy miss you too. Sometimes I feel like something missing.. like my mom missing something and that makes me sad. I miss watching family matters, bet 106 park, chunky, Parker´s, I even miss complaining bout house smelling like chitlins.. I miss holidays , I miss u so much ... idk I found myself just lookin up ur birth year and for the first time I´m like feeling real sad.. idk how to handle death.. it´s kinda like a stuck feeling... I never get to process it.. as if it isn´t real. Fighting back tears but I do anything to hear u say think u seen me on ur television ... I will be soon grandma. I´m so close. I used to love getting suspended cause I knew I´d be with u... I just want to hug you again. I miss u so much

Good afternoon family. I am writing this to the family of Mrs. Moseley. I was a friend/co-worker of Chanson Papillon's. I just happened to come across this today while looking up his name. We worked together at WACADA in DC back in the early 90s and he was such a great friend to me. I pray for the family and wanted to let you know that I miss Chanson very much. God bless you.

Good morning grandma,
I was so excited and surprised when Uncle Harold escorted you to my wedding. Your were flawless in a stunning gown. You were beautiful as always. I often wondered how I would feel what emotions I would display, on my wedding day. I can tell you it was peace, love and joy unimaginable. Uncle Harold was so handsome like he never aged. If I had any uncertainty that O wasn't the man for me. I couldn't have been more wrong. Our love and bond is and will be an unbreakable one. Thanks for attending my wedding. Tell Uncle Harold, Uncle Shuckey and my favorite guy "My Granddady" I'm in good hands. I pray to see you all again soon in my dreams. Love you past the moon and stars.

My dearest grandma
Its still very heartbreaking knowing you are gone ,knowing you will never meet my children or wife. I know that for many years we did not stay in contact for one reason or another. However I always thought about you and wondered how you were doing, My wedding day i wished you could have been there witnessing me marry the love of my life ,my one and only soul mate , you would have loved her . I wish i could have seen you one last time before you gained your wings and flew through heaven's gate .
Grandma just know that no matter what has happened through out the years we are family and i will always love you and never forget you
We love you grandma
I will always cherish the memories i have of you

Wanda Jenkins

Ma,
Missing you so much, wishing you were here. I could not sleep at all last night, thinking of you. Still waiting for your phone call "Hi Wanda, this is your mother". Oh how I wish I could here you say that again! I listen to the recording I have of you. To hear your voice, let's me know you are still here in spirit. Lord keep her close to You, I know she have earned her Wings. Moma I know you are dancing, standing straight and without pain with a smile on your face.
Love you always

Grandma
HRU? I'm hanging in there just holding things down in my life. I have been thinking about you and wishing you could fix me some rice pudding and your amazing sweet potato pie. Im thinking if I had your pots and pans I could prepare the food like you do , however you have a special ingredients that I don't have that you put into your food and that is that Olivia love. Lol. Grandma it's Easter Monday and I'm about to put on my Easter Monday outfits and take some pictures. I'm going to see if anyone would like to go to the zoo today. Happy Easter Monday grandma! I miss you and love you.

Lil Rachel

April 20, 2014

Hey Grandma,Just stopped by to say Happy Easter! It's been hard knowing you're not here, I would normally pick up some Jelly Beans Brachs...smh I know today you would have been fixing you're ham, potatoe-salad, greens and yeast rolls. I can see now sitting at the table breaking off of pieces of that roll and your cheeks are justa going! The tears keep falling as I'm typing, Ramari your Lil Man keeps saying, "Mommy you crying"? He picks up your pic to say I Love You Grandma. Missing You...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane
Id walk right up to heaven and bring you home again

I wish heaven had a phone so i could hear your voice one last time
We love you grandma

Jeffrey (jay jay) Moseley

April 7, 2014

Grandma,
It's such a hard pill to swallow that your not on earth with us. I would pick up the phone and say grandma HRU? The first thing you would say is, " I'm trying to make it". We would start our conversation about what going on with me first and she would console me and tell me everything will be ok. I still have a voice massage I listen to just when I need to hear ur voice. Grandma u would say, jay jay this is ur grandmother calling, bye! Grandma I miss touching ur tiny soft but slightly cold hands. That tiny smile that u get from time to time. Grandma I miss u.

Wanda Jenkins

April 6, 2014

Mom,
I miss you so much, I can't explain how much. Today I woke up feeling empty, because I can not call you. I just want you to ask me three(3) times "how's everyone". I just feel lost and lonely right now. Please give me your strength! I love you and miss you.

Rashae Moseley

April 2, 2014

hay grandma , I just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking about you a lot and im said my brother didn't get to crate a relationship with you like I did but I will gladly tell him how sweet of a women you were and all the memories and laughs we shared together I really do miss you your forever in my heart

Jeffrey Moseley

April 2, 2014

This is my first poem for you grandma titled "what can you say".

What can you say to someone who has been one of the most essential parts of your world. Someone who took you by the hand when you were little and helped to show you the way. What do you say to someone who stood by to help you grow, providing love, strength,and support so you could become the person you are today? What can you say to let her know she's the best there is at length and that you hope you've inherited some of her wisdom and her strength. What words would you say if you ever got the chance. Maybe you've just say. I love you grandma and know she understand.

Lil Rachel

Grandma, I miss you! God only knows my heart & how it longs to have you near. A cache of memories keeping, running threw my mind...

Hey Grandma just stopping by to say I love you & im missing you even more now that your gone than ever before...I guess its true you dont really miss what you have til its gone, normally when I miss you I know I would soon see you or atleast hear your voice on the phone with my mom.

Wanda Jenkins

March 30, 2014

Mom, I remember speaking with you the night before God took you in His Hands. I could not hear you that well, I guess you were sleepy, because I could barely hear you. I remember asking you "who is this?" You said to me "Olivia", I then said to you I'll talk to you in the morning. That night I could not sleep, thinking of you. You always told us something is wrong when one can not sleep, although my sleeping pattern is bad. I believe God was preparing you then. I'm so glad and happy you are now at peace with our Lord Jesus Christ. Thinking of you always, your daughter Wanda

Wanda Jenkins

March 30, 2014

Mom, I keep listening to the messages you left on my phone. You always say " Hi Wanda, this is your mother call me". After I would hear the message I'll say out loud " why does she say that, I know who she is!". Mom I will miss you saying that, but forever be with me. I love you and will never forget you. And as you would say "Hi mom this is your daughter, Wanda".
