    So sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one. I too have experienced that deep pain of loss. So, I look for ways to comfort others. I hope that you may find comfort in Job 14:14,15, which assures us that Almighty God has not only the power, but the desire to resurrect our dear loved ones.

    Jim, I am so sorry at your loss. Even though you’ve had your mom for a long time, it is never easy to say goodbye. May your sorrow soon be replaced by the best of memories. I am holding you in my heart.

    I did not know Mrs. Mosher personally, but she must have been an excellent musician and performer. Her son James is a marvelous musician, performer, and conductor. She must have been very kind and generous as well, because James is a most kind and generous colleague.

    Thank you to the family for sharing Jackie with Drury Place At Alvamar. She was and always will be a living inspiration to everyone that she has met. I always said that I couldn’t feel any closer to God than when I was with her. She will be missed, but what a legacy she has left. Love you Jackie!!

    To Paul Mosher and the Mosher Family,
    Sorry for the loss of your Mother. Enjoyed the times I would come over to your house when we were in high school.



  14. Marilyn Gosha on October 31, 2013 at 12:20 pm

    My prayers and condolence goes to the Mosher family. Hope all family members and friends find comfort in Jehovah Gods message found in John 5:28, 29. According to Jehovah’s promise, Mrs. Jacqueline, though sleeping in death, has the hope of the resurrection to enjoy life again on this same earth (Ecclesiastes 1:4; Psalms 104:5). Again please accept my condolence.
