To the Moody Family,
When I think of Moma Lois, the word kindness comes to the top as it epitomizes her inviting spirit. I feel like a brother to family having been introduced in 1976 through Michael while attending Dillard.
I say to family, take courage and know that the Lord is with you and Moma is in a better place. Much love, Purnell

I am of the age where being "raised by a village" is real.

We grew up on Loyola St. at Upperline and the Moody Family was a part of my village. Her older sons, along with my brother and I spent countless hours playing together. Mrs. Moody was a wonderful person and I am blessed to have been a part of her village.

The Banks Family´s prayers are with Mike, Mark, Tim and all the Moody Family.
