"This woman was the best aunt a kid could have. Always had time to explain something....no question was considered stupid. I am so very happy I got to spend the last 15 1/2 years to be at her side since Claude passed away. We had lots of fun and some tears. When we couldn't agree on something we just agreed to disagree and that was it. God's speed Poody and I'll see you again someday. "
In loving memory of
Frances Lucille Moody

Tributes
"So sorry to hear about your loss you are in my thoughts and prayers. I used to love going there as a kid with mom to pick up our eggs. Her and Claude would always set l sit and visit with us. The one thing that always stuck in my mind was the fact that they would never change the clocks for daylight savings time they just told me the cows can't tell time. "
