Well, I gotta tell ya, this thing about Michael Moody dyin’, it’s real sad. Just plain awful. Folks are sayin’ he passed away, and it ain’t right. Too young, some say. Others just shake their heads and mutter ’bout how life ain’t fair. And you know what? They ain’t wrong.
I heard tell of a Michael B Moody, gone too soon in September 2024. Said he was a lovin’ son. Makes your heart ache, it does. Losing a child, well, that’s a pain I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Then there’s this Mike Moody, from Haverhill, 63 years old, died in December 2023. Sixty-three ain’t young, but it ain’t ancient either. Still had life in him, I reckon.
And another Michael Moody, 79, from Fenton, passed in May 2023. Had a funeral mass and all. At least he lived a good long life, maybe. But still, death’s a sting, no matter how old you get. It’s like a door slammin’ shut, and you’re left standin’ on the porch, wonderin’ what happened.
- Michael Moody, September 2024 – gone too soon, a lovin’ son.
- Mike Moody, December 2023, 63 years old from Haverhill.
- Michael Moody, May 2023, 79 years old from Fenton.
Seems like there’s a bunch of Michael Moodys out there, and they’re all leavin’ us. Makes you think, don’t it? Makes you think about your own time here, and how short it might be. Makes you wanna hug your loved ones tighter, tell ’em you care, ’cause you never know when it’s gonna be the last time.
Then there’s this talk about Paul Bearer’s son, Michael Moody, dyin’ with no life insurance. Lord have mercy! That’s just a double whammy of hurt, ain’t it? Losing someone you love is bad enough, but then worryin’ ’bout money on top of it? That’s just cruel. Makes you wonder how folks manage. It’s hard scrabble livin’ for some, I tell ya.
Folks are puttin’ up obituaries online now, I hear. They got these “memorial pages” where you can leave your condolences and share stories. Heard tell of one Michael Moody passin’ in 2014, and another one in 2022. People sharin’ memories, keepin’ ’em alive in their hearts. It’s a nice thing to do, I guess. Helps keep the memory alive, like a little candle in the darkness.
Death, it’s a part of life, they say. But it don’t make it any easier. Every time I hear about someone passin’, especially someone named Michael Moody it seems, it’s like a little piece of the world breaks off. And you’re left with a hole, a gapin’ space where they used to be. And all you got left is memories, and maybe a few pictures, if you’re lucky.
So, to all the Michael Moodys out there, rest in peace. And to their families, my heart goes out to ya. It ain’t easy, losin’ someone. But you gotta keep goin’, gotta keep their memory alive. Gotta keep livin’, for them and for yourself. ‘Cause that’s what they woulda wanted, I reckon.
And remember, life’s short. Too short. So make the most of it. Tell the folks you love that you love ’em. Don’t wait ’til it’s too late. ‘Cause tomorrow ain’t promised to nobody. Not even to a Michael Moody.
And this online stuff, with the obituaries and all, it’s somethin’ new. Back in my day, you just heard about it through the grapevine, or maybe read somethin’ in the paper. Now, it’s all digital. Times are changin’, that’s for sure.
But one thing that don’t change is the hurt of losin’ someone. That ache in your heart, that empty space in your life… that stays the same. So, hold your loved ones close, folks. And remember the Michael Moodys we’ve lost. They ain’t forgotten.
