Travis was such a kind man. He will always be remembered fondly by our family. We will miss him.
It was my great pleasure to know the Moody family and be allowed to care for them. Well done, good and faithful servant.
I worked with Travis those 39 years at SWEPCO. He was a good friend and a great co-worker He was very deligent in doing his job. He could be proud of the warehouse operation. Sorry Doris and I cannot cannot attend the memorial service as we have to be in Little Rock at the time. May his memory bring many blessings to you, as they will to Doris and I.
Wanda and family, my deepest condolences on the loss of your brother. My prayers are with you.
To the family of Travis Moody:
I feel a loss of Travis, my brother in The Lord. Of course, I miss all of you since I don’t see you at worship services any more. Travis was such a gentleman. I always knew where he would be after services. We spoke when we saw each other. My prayers have been for you all since I read in the newspaper.
As Christians we look forward to going home since this world is not our home. We will be whole again without the aches, pains and sorrows. Travis is released from all earthly concerns. I know he loved you.
Until we meat again, God be with you in your sorrow. In Christian love, Don.
