Happy Blessed 105th Birthday to my Grandmother (August 23, 2025). Emily Elizabeth (Young) Moses is the 1st born of Samuel Young Sr. and Clara Elizabeth (Jefferson) Young. Her blessed day of birth is August 23, 1920. Her family consists of her children: Annie, Carlton, Cloteal and Cynthia; grandchildren: Sherrita, Ozelia, Lorraine, Gwendolyn, Ray Anthony, Shelia, Marie, Steven, Colette, Anita, Alex, Leonard, Paul,Ignatius and Desiree (some children & grandchildren are deceased).
