Bucky, Belinda, Aubrey, Isaac and Anna Laura,
We will all miss Grace so much. She always had a smile and a story, at all times. I’m so glad to have had her in my family. I hope to see all of you in Arizona soon, to share more memories of Grace.
You are in my thoughts,
Love,
Katharine

When I think about what I would like to say to all of you I find it very difficult to express just how much Grace meant to me. I would have to say that meeting your family almost 30 years ago is truly one of the greatest events in my life. I realize that you know how much I love Grace and each of you. I cherish every moment we have spent together and will miss those “talks” with Grace. She was one of a kind! The girls and I send you our love always!
Belinda – You and your family will remain in my prayers.
Grace was truly a beautiful person! My life has been blessed having met and known her.

I never had the opportunity to meet Grace Moses, but her husband, whom I always knew as “Bucky,” is a childhood friend, with whom I have lost contact over the past 5+ decades. Nonetheless, my thoughts are with him and his family during their time of loss.

I’m an in-law cousin and only recall 2 meetings with Grace. Once on the East Coast and once in Seattle, WA at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. She had a Smile that could melt ice and a personal warmth in her interactions with me that communicated an authentic Spiritual connection. Clearly she was correctly named. I remain Thankful for those 2 meetings.
Dear Bucky, Belinda, Aubrey and Grands,
DeMaurice Sr. and my father, Bill Moses, were brothers. I have known your Wife/Mother/Grandmother since 1960 when we met as bridesmaids in Merle’s wedding. Even though we did not cross paths ofter, she has held a special place in my heart. I will always remember her, with love, as Lady Grace.

Grace was a large and influential spirit in my life. We were Sophomore college room mates at Brown — a year marked for me by Grace’s humor, curiosity, intellgence and love of life. I felt incredibly priviledged to share a room and part of Grace’s life for that year. We talked and talked — and then talked some more, often through the late nights. We sang arias from Aida in the dorm shower. Grace slept on her “good ear”, so I was often her alarm clock, throwing pillows at her sleeping form across the room. I was fortunate to spend some weekends with her Mother and to witness her growing love for Bucky and decision to leave Brown to marry him. For Christmas that year, Grace gave me a copy of Dylan Thomas’ story – “Quite Early One Morning”, first reading it to me. Grace was magical. Thinking about Grace IS magical! With love, Jane
I knew Grace at Stockbridge School
50 years ago and have not been in touch all these years. I heard about her passing through the grapevine and wish her family my condolences. Stockbridge was a special place and kids that I knew from there will always have a special place in my heart even though most of us have separated logistically. My very best to her family.

Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers!! I will always remember Grace sitting at the front desk and offering a sucker when I was finished with my doctor’s appt. with Dr. Moses.-Jim, Lisa Moreland, and Jim Jr., Soive
A great woman of God, with great courage and love shared among many. Her spirit of life always had a joyful and positive impact on me.
Although we were never formally introduced, indirectly Grace’s spirit was conveyed through Cynthia and Franklin Maccotan’s love for her and her family. Our deepest condolences.
With great sadness we just learned that our dear Grace with her vibrant, beautiful brown eyes and great keen mind is gone. We have wonderful memories, especially of our time together in Germany and Puyallup. We wish we could be with you.
With our deepest sympathy to you and your family,
Austra, Grant and family
Please accept my sincere sympathy in the death of Mrs. Moses. Your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers. I am a colleague of Belinda Moses.
Dear Moses Family;
I am so sorry for your loss of Grace. Many years ago I went to your office to take my young son in to see what was wrong with him after so many could not tell me. Chad was 5 months old and cried all the time and wasn’t like other children. After so many long hard days and nights my mother asked me to take him to Dr Moses. I did and from the moment I walked into that office and saw that smile behind the desk I knew I would be taken care of. Grace was there when I needed a good cry and when I needed advise. Chad had Cerebral Palsy and would be in a wheelchair all his life, but grace told me to never give up and I didn’t. She got me to involve Chad in so many things such as horseback riding and everything possible. He is now 25 years old and still in a wheelchair but is awsome. Thank you Dr Moses and Grace for giving me strength and courage to help my son. Because Of you he is a wonderful young man and I am a caring mother whom listened to advise. Chad has done a movie with his service Dog and still rides horses and me, I have been active in helping people with advise as I got from a wise woman and Dr years ago.
God Bless you and my love and thanks go out to all of you. We all know where Grace is now and she will continue her journey with memories of her love of life.

I thank the Lord for bringing Grace into my life. I believe all who met her experienced the special “grace” which she extended to both friend and stranger. In fact, just meeting Grace one time meant you were no longer a stranger to her. I appreciate the fact that she knew how to show the real unconditional love of Christ with such humility.
Grace Moses loved people because God loves people. Her life shows how a great lady lives and loves.
May the Lord continue to keep this family and give them a portion of the spirit of their wonderful wife and mother. And may all of her many friends be a source of comfort and strength in the days ahead in rememberance of the blessed life of our dear special friend Grace Moses.
I was saddened to here about Grace’s passing. Please accept my condolensces. I fondly remember her remarkable warmth and friendliness.
You are in our thoughts at this difficult time. But remember the good times and Grace’s wonderful smile. God Bless. Judy & Warren
My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
My heartfelt condolences, love and prayers to you Belinda and all of your wonderful family in this time of loss and celebration of you mother’s life.

Dear Bucky,
I had the pleasure of spending almost an hour talking to Grace at a party at Bob Minnerly’s home. I never forgot the conversation. Grace lived up to her name and was a highly educated, intelligent and wise lady. I have never forgotten the conversation about education and the importance of doing the right thing for children. I left the conversation wishing I had more time to spend with her. I know she loved her children and her grandchildren and they in turn loved and respected her. My condolences. Thank you Bucky for sharing Grace with us. I will be thinking of you at this difficult time having gone through the loss of a spouse myself. Please take care of yourself.

To my dear Moses Family – Bucky, Belinda, Aubrey, Isaac, and Anna Laura,
I am a better person for having met Grace and been a part of her life. I mourn her death, but celebrate her life. You have all been a wonderful part of my life since I met you in 1971. Thank you for making me part of your life. I will always love and remember Grace.

Words can not express my feelings towards Grace. She WAS SUNSHINE!! When I was around her when I was younger and a trouble maker – she would take me to lunch and we would chat and things would look better.
I love you Grace –
My deepest sympathy to Dr. Moses, Belinda, Aubry and family.
Grace’s love and wisdom blessed so many. It is a comfort to know that her light will continue to shine bright in her family and frineds. Thank you Grandma Grace!
May God’s grace, strength and love continue to pour over the Moses family.
Knowing Grace over these past 15 years has been a joy. She brought love, kindness, intelligence and GRACE into our lives. She will always be remembered as a woman with incredible strength to those who were touched by her. Grace’s smile and laughter will continue to be in our hearts as we remember her.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
With fond memories and love, Kathy
Grandma Grace,
You were truly God-sent to so many who suddenly found a void filled and the yearning for un-conditional acceptance quenched.
I will always be thankful for your honesty, wisdom, and example as a loving matriach.
I miss you, but find comfort in the truth of salvation, the promise of eternity, and knowing we will sit together at His feet.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Grace for about 30 years, through my relationship her son, Aubrey, my best friend.
From the moment I first met her Grace welcomed me into her home as a member of the family. Even as an awkward teenager, she treated me as an adult and I always knew she was looking out for me. Grace and Bucky are the reason I have a college degree, as they pulled strings to get me enrolled in WSU.
I love Grace like my own mother, and I can still feel her spirit guiding me. I miss her terribly. All of my love to the family,
-Mike
