Moises Sousa Flores

Moises Sousa Flores, 77 of Newman, CA, passed away this week after a long illness. He was born to Antonio and Virginia Flores in the fall of 1941 in the Azores. Moises eventually immigrated to the United States.

Moises is survived by his son Larry Flores, daughter-in-law Susie Flores, grandchildren Damian, Anthony, Emily and Sage. He is preceded in death by his parents and one sister.

A Viewing will be held from 4-6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 with a rosary starting at 6 p.m. at Allen Mortuary in Turlock. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday, May 23, 2019 at Sacred Heart Catholic in Turlock, Church at 10:30 a.m. with interment following at Hills Ferry Cemetery in Newman.

avo it was hard hearing you were gone. It made me devastated and it made me appreciate life even more. The short time we knew each other was a really good amount of time we had, you always had a joke to tell, a story to tell, and wise words to say. You made us all smile, but at the end of the day we all cried. You would probably want us to not be sad and be happy instead of crying but it’s hard, it’s hard to loose family and not being able to do much about it. When it’s gods time to take someone into his arms he will do so. It was your time to go, you lived your time and now we have to try and go on and live our life’s. Everyone loved you, everyone appreciated you, and you keep us all happy. I didn’t like seeing you suffer no one did, it hurt us all, but now it gives me some relieve to know your in a better place. With your mom, dad, and sister, your probably living a better life there with no worries. I know you’ll watch over us all, everyone you cared for you’ll watch over. I wish you could have came to seen me graduate and become proud of me but again it was your time and you couldn’t wait any longer, hopefully you’ll make it there some how ❤️. Much love I miss you dearly avo and it hurts a lot.

Moises you were the greatest father-in-law anyone could have ever asked for, a blessing to have you around even if it was a short time. I will forever be thankful, my biggest wish of brining you together with your son and grandson’s and granddaughter will make my heart happy until we all meet again. I will miss all your stories and jokes definitely will miss that smile when you seen your grandkids. I promise you we won’t ever forget you. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and making our lives brighter with your presence. We love and miss you lots.
