I am taking this news more harder than anyone could ever imagine. This has been a hard pill to swallow. Moddy was just like a brother to me. We shared alot of good memories together like going to the drag strip, going to the Smokies, cooking out even at the church, going out to eat with our families and so much more that I don't have enough room or time to share it all. I'm going to really miss my brother. We didn't see each other that much like we use too but when we did it's like we caught up from where we left off. I know He loved his wife and his children very much. He was a good man with full of life. NeNe yall are in our prayers and know that my wife Wanda and our family send our love to yall and we are here. ~ Bert Lawrence Jr.

I pray The Lord will comfort the family in this difficult time and give you all peace and understanding in the coming days and beyond. RIP Moddy until we meet again. Your friend, Jamie Spence

My heart is sadden by the passing of my Cousin Moody. I remember when we first moved into our new house he and his brother Roger and several of the neighborhood kids would play hide and go seek in the woods. He was a great cook too. Nobody could touch his mac and cheese and fried chicken. He will truly be missed. Retta Harris
