As the Angels cry, Why couldn't I say goodbye before the Angels cried? Never thought this day would come, A day I would have to hear the words,
" Your Uncle Moody has passed away". Why yo u? Why now? You were my favor ite uncle.
Why couldn't I say goodbye? We had lots of fun times. You made just about everything OK.
One thing I can say, I am always going to miss you. This is breath taking, just the thought of it all. I w ish \Ve had more time together.
We all have to understand we must remain strong while God takes your hand.
Your love was a g ift I will not let dr ift. Why couldn 't I say goodbye before the Angels cry?
