Mr. Mo's obituary is so true. "Those who were fortunate enough to know him!!" So true!! I knew him as I was growing up and often heard my daddy say "that's one good man there." I was so honored and blessed to have been his hospice nurse. I am often humbled by the patients I care for and he was no exception. What an awesome human being he was. He loved deeply and it was evident by the care and love that was showered upon him. Ms. Pam, you were his Best Nurse and your deep love for him was so evident in the way you lovely cared for him. Keith was awesome and gentle with him. And last but not least, Mr. Mo loved and adored his children/family. He will forever be in my heart.

I don't know how to even begin to say goodbye to my favorite paw paw. I have so many good memories of you. I always remember our breakfast at Krispy Kreme when I was little. You always lit up a room with your smile and your stories. You were one of the greatest men I know. I'm glad you are not hurting anymore but I'm heartbroken I can't hug you on last time. Love you paw paw

I thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
And the day before that too.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name;
All I have now are memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake,
With which I will never part;
God has you in his keep,
I have you in my heart.
It broke my heart to lose you.
But you didn't go alone,
For a part of me went with you Moe...
The day God took you home.

You were the greatest PawPaw I could ever have asked for. Your smile always made my heart happy and you were never without one. I have and always will treasure the memories of time spent with you. My heart aches but your pain is gone and I am finding my comfort in that. I have no doubt you are "shaking a leg" in Heaven. Save a dance for me PawPaw.

Pam and Family I am so sorry for your loss. Mo was a very special person in all of our lives. We used to get a big kick out of the times we spent at the home of his son Chris Galtier. The crawfish boils and BBQ. We would sit back and tell stories and he was always the life of the party.Prayers of comfort to you. Love, Gene and Theresa Leeder
