Mr. Moody,
You, Julie, Jan and family are in my thoughts and prayers. I was so very saddened to hear that Mrs. Grace had passed away. She was such a sweet and wonderful lady and I am glad that I had the priviledge of knowing her in High School. Both of you were such an inspiration to me during those influential teen years. The Angels are surely rejoicing with her now.
My love and prayers,

Mr. Moody, Jan and Julie,
I know the sadness you all feel but at the same time, the relief of knowing Mrs. Grace is not trapped in her body anymore. The years my dad and Mrs. Grace shared in the pride unit enabled me to get to know Mrs Grace in a different light. Inside her eyes was this amazing wonderful lady that I had such fond memories of from high school. May God bless your family at this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time. I will always remember Mrs. Moody's smile when I walked into the library at SHS.

Take the memories you have of her and put them in a special place in your heart!

I knew all of you as neighbors first, when Julie and I were little, and then Mrs. Moody as a librarian when I was in high school. She fought a long, hard battle against such a devastating disease, and I know all of you were fighting right along with her. She will be terribly missed. You are all in my prayers during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all now and the days and months to come. The words of the song that my choir sang a song this morning seem even more appropriate to this situation...."When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrow like sea billows roll, whatever my lot Thou has taught me to say...It is well, It is Well with My Soul." God Bless

Dear Gus, Jan, and Julie, Words are not adequate to describe Grace, except perhaps to say that she was indeed the epitome of the word. She was truly a grace-ful lady. I know that you lost her in reality some time ago, but the physical parting is always difficult despite the circumstances. Know that you are in our prayers during this time of loss. With love, Pat and Nancy.
