Before the illness Mrs. Mosley was a wonderful example of a loving, Christian wife, mother and grandmother. Spending the night with her in the big brick house in Braggadocio was always an adventure. She was very crafty, making our clothes and toys and was a wonderful cook. She always cooked big meals for her family and made homemade biscuits every day. She had an infectious smile and was Aunt Bea, Martha Stewart rolled into one. She loved her family dearly and they loved her. There they sit around the dinner table as vigorous and healthy as young olive trees. That is God's reward to those who reverence and trust Him. Psalms 128:3-4
