Mary Joan Moss

July 4, 2013

In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, a willow tree; in cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free! It is with profound gratitude for her precious and radiant life that the family of Mary Joan Moss announces her serene and peaceful passing on July 4, 2013 at home with her family by her side. Her courage and faith inspired and taught us the definition of grace, love and community. Mary was a devoted and beloved wife, momma bear, Nana-Jo, sister and friend. The fruitfulness of her love and spirit will continue to blossom in the lives of those she touched. She is a pillar and example of living fully, loving deeply, learning passionately, and walking faithfully with the Lord. Life is eternal and love is immortal and death is only a horizon and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight (Rositter W. Raymond). With love until we reunite again! A Celebration of Mary’s life will be held at Bethany Chapel (3333 Richardson Way S.W., Calgary, AB) on Monday, July 15, 2013 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Wellspring Calgary.
