So many beautiful memories with our friend T Mosley. Edie and I worked together and we became great friends. Our daughter Brittany loved them like they were related and stayed with them so many times. They loved spoiling her. You will be missed dear friend. I was hoping to get to Nashville this year to see you and Edie. I’ll see you in heaven when the time comes. Love and prayers to my dear friend Edie and Melinda.
So sorry for your loss, Melinda.

We are so sorry to hear of Tee’s passing.
May God light his way, and give you and Melinda comfort in knowing he walks with Him now.
Celebrate his life and memories of your life together.
Until you meet again.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love you. Tom and Kim

Dear Edie, I am so sorry to see that Tee has stepped into Eternity. But, you and your family have the hope of seeing him again and forever! I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Edie and Melinda, I am so sorry for your loss. I know he is in Heaven right now. He was such an amazing person and a great father. I know you mourn his loss deeply.
Edie, Roger and I are so sorry to hear of T’s passing. Words can express our sympathy for the loss of someone you have been through life with for so many wonderful, memorable years, but comfort, peace and acceptance can come only from the Lord. The presence of the husband you have loved and shared your life with will no longer exist, but the things you have built together can be stored away in memories that last forever. Our prayers are with you, Melinda and the entire family as you finish this journey that is ahead of you. 🙏❤️
I will always remember how kind you and Tee were to me when I moved into my Creekside condo. Tee didn’t hesitate to help me when I was painting and asked to borrow your ladder. Instead, he came with his ladder and paint brush to help. He was a sweet, kind, gentle soul, whose light lit up the world around him.
May the loving memories you shared help to fill the void of his physical presence as you move through the grieving process, knowing he is walking with God and Jesus.
Hugs,
Karen Cressman

Frances and I were so sorry to hear about Tee’s passing. We are down at St. George and will be unable to attend the service but want to express our sympathy. When we look out over the Gulf it brings back memories of how much the two of you enjoyed the same thing. Tee was such a fine man and will be dearly missed.
Love, Frances & Allen
