We mourn with your loss of Moshe. We have fond memories of many a Friday evening for Kiddush and Sabbath lunches with Moshe and Suzy in their South Bend homes. May Moshe's memory be for a blessing. May Hashem be very close to Suzy and family providing a sense of presence and support.

Praying for this dear family who list your wonderful husband, father, grandfather. I only met Moshe one time but I knew he was a special person and he will be dearly missed! May the Lord bless you and keep you!

Though it's been many years since I have had the privilege of hanging out in your home, the memories of the Katz family are so strong.
Mrs Katz, I will never forget your loving, open home with the comfort and stability you created. May you live with the good memories of your husband and may you be comforted.

Miriam, Avi and Nachman- he was so proud of you. Beyond the tough Israeli core, your father showed his papa bear side to all who would notice. He loved his children and showed it through food, belly laughter and stories. I can only imagine how soft he would be when spending time with your kids.

You all gave him a beautiful goodbye with your eulogies, (thank you for the livestream, we were able to 'attend' from Israel!)
We pray that his neshama be right up at the kisei hakavod.

Love you guys!

May his memory be blessed and may you be comforted among the mourners of Zion.

Moshe's personality was one that exuded warmth and humor. Anyone who came into his orbit felt instantly comfortable. He will be missed.
May his neshama have an aliyah and may his family be comforted among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Dearest Susi,
Sincerest condolences to you and the family on your loss. May Moshe z"l be a melitz yosher for your family and all of Am Yisrael! I heard from lilly on the shevet tzurim group that he brought joy and laughter to many. What a zchut!

Dear Moshe, thank you for always welcoming us into your home and life. You had the same gift as your wife and father in law, you knew how to be inclusive and make everyone feel cared about. Your sense of humor, smile and love of your family was pure and real. It was an honor to be your cousin. (Thank you for the nick name ). See you around the corner. We all loved you. Baruch dayan ha emmet.

Dear friend since we were 13 years old , we shared so many memories together, he was the sandak for my son Efraim in Atlanta. I was saying a blessing for refua shleima as resent as this morning hoping that you will get better. If I will want to ride a book about our friendship it will have many pages.
I will miss you my dear friend, rest in peace. 😪

I'm here in Moshe's chair in the kitchen watching this Beautiful Ceremony. Susi just went up for a nap. Sheill not be alone this,the 1st. Week after Shiva. Miriam,Avi,Nachman & his brother, & so many more of Moshe's loved ones. I am missing his presence, his laugh,jokes,Sunday a.m. breakfast & crocheting what he taught me. He Rescued me from a very bad Rehab. He told Susi, we have to get her out of there! They came in the middle of the night & kidnapped me 🌠🩵🩷 I spent the next several weeks in a portion of the living room, portioned off from the dining area. He called it my apartment.lol. I had a broken foot, very bad concussion & some other things from a bad fall that I won't mention. He would sometimes fall asleep here in the kitchen & was close in case I deeded anything. We had coffee in the mornings -& when able he'd teach me how to crochet. I learned so much for the 5 plus years I spent here for Shabbos

holidays & just plain friendship. I was Orthodox for that person of time in my life & made so many memories & learned so much from him, Nachman the Torah Center ,and many friends. Although I couldn't go to Ch. I watched it & felt just like I was there in Spirit. I Believe Hashem put me here for her 1st. Week alone to help,comfort & do whatever she & their/ you kids need me to do.i am so very Blessed to have the entire Katz family & many SB friends in this awesome Chapter in my life.🌠🩵💖🤲💞 Till we meet again Moshe, may flights of Angels carry thee to the Resting Place. W.S. & give my regards to Bubba 🩷🥰
