I am saddened by this news. My heartfelt condolences to Nancy and all other family. There is no way to adequately describe this young man. He met no strangers and tried to take care of everyone. I know his "granny," (my mama, Lena) is smiling all over heaven. He answered her every call. What a special person who will truly be missed. REST GK. Your work on earth is finished. Love, Dr. Patricia Mosley Harris Savannah, GA

You will be missed. We're praying for strength and comfort for the family, love y'all, the Mosley 14.
