Mr. Moody my thoughts are with you and your family in this time of sorrow. I have followed you and your wifes journey with cancer in your blogs. She was a real fighter. Now she is in heaven watching over you and your boys. She will always be with you. I hope your 30 yrs of memories can help you through this tough time and can bring you joy and happiness when you think of her. God Bless you and your boys.

I can not pretend that I wholly understand, or even that I comprehend the magnitude of your grief and loss. – Still I will offer this small gesture of mine & my family’s sincerest condolences and a pray that the LORD may hold you closer yet. May he be with you, and guide you, in this most difficult time.

Truly, God bless,
