I met Geneane about 7
years ago when She was a Missouri City
Police Officer. She has 4 kids, served the
Military, completed her BS & MS and working
on her Doctoral Degree and is running for
Fort Bend County Sheriff office. This is
another historic moment and I'm glad to be a
part of it. I'm asking everyone I know to
help me support this phenomenal woman. See

One of Houston’s beloved, longtime civic leaders, Mrs. Ruby Lee Sanders Mosley, has died. Mosley, who is affectionately known as the “Mayor of Acres Homes,” made her transition on the morning of Feb. 3, after an extended illness. She was 90.
Mosley was a lifelong community activist and educator, belonging to several organizations, including the Acres Homes Advisory Committee, the Acres Homes Super Neighborhood and the Houston Police Department Advisory Committee, among others.
Her name may not be as recognizable as Harriet Tubman or Rosa Parks but chances are you’ll recognize her work.
“I remember, only two years ago, when she was 88, seeing her going through her phone book and calling all the seniors in Acres Homes on Thanksgiving to make sure that they had turkey and making arrangements to make sure that those families were being fed,” her granddaughter, Ladrenia Dixon recalled.
Mosley’s homegoing services were Sat., Feb. 8. Mayor Sylvester Turner declared the day as ‘Ruby Mosley Day’ in Houston. “She was a woman small in stature, but big in impact,” Turner said.
“This week Houston, particularly Acres Homes, we lost a monumental figure who fought every day for her community and our city. Ruby Mosley challenged the status quo and worked with all elected officials to bring resources the community needed to thrive.
“She was, for many of us, a superwoman. Although she is gone from us, her legacy will last for generations to come. Houston is a better place because of her. May God uplift her family during this time,” Turner said.
Commissioner Rodney Ellis also remembered Mosley, saying:
“Honored to be part of the community who celebrated the life of Mrs. Ruby Mosley – aka the ‘Mayor of Acres Homes,’ at Community of Faith. Mrs. Ruby was a dedicated servant to Acres Homes. I send my deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. Rest gently, Mrs. Mosley.”
Ruby Lee Sanders Mosley was born on April 25, 1929, in Mexia and moved to Houston in 1948. She enrolled at Franklin Beauty College and became a licensed beautician and after graduating from high school, she attended Prairie View A&M University.
She was a health coordinator for 18 years at Gulf Coast Community Services, advocating to provide water, sewer and other city services to residents in Houston’s rural communities. She then joined the City of Houston Cuney Homes Housing Development as a community services supervisor. For 13 years, she provided essential services for senior citizens and children. She retired in 1995.
Throughout all of that and later on in life, her dedication to the historically African American community in northwest Houston was undying, her family and friends said.
Mosley is survived by two daughters, eight grandchildren and 14 greatgrandchildren.

An 87 Year Old College Student Named
Rose
The first day of school our professor
introduced himself and challenged us to get to
know someone we didn’t already know.
I stood up to look around when a gentle hand
touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a
wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me
with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m
eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?”
I laughed and enthusiastically responded,
“Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant
squeeze.
“Why are you in college at such a young,
innocent age?” I asked.
She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a
rich husband, get married, and have a couple of
kids…”
“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what
may have motivated her to be taking on this
challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college
education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
After class we walked to the student union
building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We
became instant friends. Every day for the next
three months, we would leave class together and
talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening
to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom
and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a
campus icon and she easily made friends wherever
she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled
in the attention bestowed upon her from the
other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose
to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never
forget what she taught us. She was
introduced
and stepped up to the podium.
As she began to deliver her prepared speech,
she dropped her three by five cards on the
floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she
leaned into the microphone and simply said, “I’m
sorry I’m so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent
and this whiskey is killing me! I’ll never get
my speech back in order so let me just tell
you what I know.”
As we laughed she cleared her throat and
began, “We do not stop playing because we are
old; we grow old because we stop playing. There
are only four secrets to staying young, being
happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh
and find humor every day.
You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose
your dreams, you die.
We have so many people
walking around who are dead and don’t even know
it! There is a huge difference between growing
older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed
for one full year and don’t do one productive
thing, you will turn twenty years old.
If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in
bed for a year and never do anything I will turn
eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take
any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by
always finding opportunity in change.
Have no
regrets.
The elderly usually don’t have regrets for
what we did, but rather for things we did not
do. The only people who fear death are those
with regrets.”
She concluded her speech by courageously
singing “The Rose.”
She challenged each of us to study the
lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.
At the year’s end Rose finished the college
degree she had begun all those years ago. One
week after graduation Rose died peacefully in
her sleep.
Over two thousand college students attended
her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman
who taught by example that it’s
never too
late to be all you can possibly be .When you
finish reading this, please send this peaceful
word of advice to your friends and family,
they’ll really enjoy it!
These words have been passed along in loving
memory of ROSE.
REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.
GROWING UP IS
OPTIONAL.
We make a Living by what we get, We make a
Life by what we give.

Snoop Dogg said
Saturday he wasn’t
threatening CBS News
anchor
Gayle King
over a recent
interview in which
she broached the
Kobe Bryant rape
case following his
death last week.
The
clarification comes
after CBS News
President Susan
Zirinsky said the
network “fully
supports” King while
vigorously
condemning the
“reprehensible”
threats made against
the anchor.
“When I said
what I said, I spoke
for the people who
felt like Gayle was
very disrespectful
towards Kobe Bryant
and his family,”
Snoop Dogg, whose
real name is Calvin
Cordozar Broadus
Jr., said in a video
on Instagram on
Saturday.
“Now with that
being said, what do
I look like, wanting
some harm to come to
a 70-year-old woman?
I was raised way
better than that,”
the 48-year-old
entertainer
continued. “I don’t
want no harm to come
to her, and I didn’t
threaten her. All I
did was say, ‘Check
it out. You out of
pocket for what you
doing, and we
watching you. Have a
little bit more
respect for Vanessa,
her babies and Kobe
Bryant’s legacy.'”
King, a
co-anchor on “CBS
This Morning,” is
65.
The rapper’s
latest comments come
after he posted an
earlier Instagram
video in which he
appeared to threaten
King, telling her to
“back off, bitch,
before we come get
you.” The comment
was made amid
criticism over her
addressing the
Bryant rape case.
Oprah Winfrey,
who is close to
King, said on NBC’s
“Today” that the CBS
News veteran has
been the target of
death threats
following her
interview earlier
this week with
former WNBA star
Lisa Leslie in which
King raised the
sexual assault
charge against
Bryant in a 2003
civil case that was
ultimately settled.
The
controversy was
amplified further
after former former
national security
adviser Susan Rice
took exception to
Snoop Dogg’s threat
by posting a warning
on Twitter.
“This is
despicable,” Rice
wrote. “Gayle King
is one of the most
principled, fair and
tough journalists
alive. Snoop, back
the **** off. You
come for @GayleKing,
you come against an
army. You will lose,
and it won’t be
pretty.”
Bryant died late
last month in a
helicopter crash that
also killed his
13-year-old daughter,
Gianna, and seven
others.
His shocking death
has set off waves of
tributes to the NBA
great, with some of his
supporters responding
with anger and threats
to people who have
raised the allegations
against Bryant.
Bryant was accused
in 2003 of sexually
assaulting a Colorado
hotel employee. The
charges were later
dropped after the
employee declined to
cooperate with
prosecutors. She would
eventually settle with
Bryant outside of court,
and Bryant acknowledged
in an apology that the
woman did not feel that
their encounter was
consensual.
King evoked that
case in the interview
with Leslie.
“It’s been said that
his legacy is
complicated because of a
sexual assault charge
that was dismissed in
2003, 2004. Is it
complicated for you, as
a woman, as a WNBA
player?” King asked
Leslie.
“It’s not
complicated for me at
all,” Leslie replied. “I
just never see — have
ever seen him being the
kind of person that
would be — do something
to violate a woman or be
aggressive in that way.
That’s just not the
person that I know.”
“Lisa, you wouldn’t
see it, though. As his
friend, you wouldn’t see
it,” King said.
“And that’s
possible,” replied
Leslie. “I just don’t
believe that.”
She added that the
media “should be more
respectful at this
time.”
King said she has
received death threats
over the interview.
She was noticeably
absent from “CBS This
Morning” on Friday as
the controversy
continued to grow.
