It has been a privilege to know Jody and to call her friend. We 'grew up' together....all of us. Her leaving this life is sad and tragic but I feel blessed to know that she is watching over all of us and that She is reunited with her Mom,Dad, L.D. and all those that have journied on before us. I am saying a prayer for those of You are are left to mourn her that God will give You strength and Love for the days ahead. With Love and Friendship I offer my prayer to all of You.

Jody was a wonderful daughter,sister, mother and friend. She was so proud of her son, daughter-in-law and her grandchildren. It was a special treat to visit with her after one of her vacations and look through her photos. My heart is filled with great sorrow that saying goodbye. Love you Jody. Until we meet again.

Jason, Bonnie, Dari and families--I am so sorry to hear of Jody's death. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. As you know we knew each other from birth since we were only 6 weeks apart in age. I remember when I stayed with my Aunt Veronica and we all played together. We had such fun and it seems like yesterday. How life changes. She was such a nice person and she will be missed by many.

Jody was always' quick to show me the newest photo's of Ali, Ryan, Jason and Karen, the Pride and Joy of her life... Jody will be miss, and we will all join her some day in that magnificent garden in heaven..

This doesn't seem to be happening. I did not realize Jody was sick again. She loved her family so much and always had pictures to share of her Grandchildren.Talked often of her trips to be with her son and family. Jody had a heart that just didn't stop giving. Praying for peace for the family. Oh how she will be missed. Her love for all animals was like no other. God Bless Jody and the entire family.

I've known your family for many years. I remember the time I went to Chicago with your mom to see her daughter. The trip was nice, but was not good for me. My sympathy goes out to Bonnie and Dari's family.

I went to school with Jody and what I remember most about her is that she was such a "free spirit" and I envied that. Her smile and laugh was contagious and I know she will be sorely missed. I'm proud to have known her, spent time with her,and called her my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with her family............

My heart breaks for Jody's family, you have been through so much the past few years. I remember Jody and her mom coming into Drug Town all the time. They always made us laugh and usually had a winning lottery ticket of some kind. She was an awesome groomer too. I was so sad when she had to quit....but most of all I remember Jody talking about her family....all of her family....she loved each and everyone of you. Jody will be missed by so many.

I am so sorry to hear of Jody's passing. I met her when I needed a groomer, she soon became more than that, someone I called a friend. It was my good fortune to meet her, we always talked about our sons and how much they meant to us. I will keep her son and family in my prayers.

Jody worked for us as a groomer at Parkview Animal Hospital for over 10 years. Sandi & I were saddened by the news of Jody's passing. Jody was a wonderful mom, grand mom, and employee. Although she could have easily taken a handout, Jody took the hand up and proved that self determination can be a powerful force. Many can take her example of hard work and determination and do whatever they want to do. She will be missed, but she leaves a fine family and legacy. Gene & Sandi

Jody, I will miss you. You never forgot a birthday, you always sent a card confetti and all, spilling out when the envelope is opened. The other day I found some confetti under the refrigerator from the last card you sent. Thanks for the all those memories and pics you have sent of relatives and friends I will treasure them. God Bless.
