It's so hard for family and friends to give you up, Jody. I've always respected the huge heart and positive, no nonsense attitude bundled into your little person, from high school to your support of my own battle. We will miss you, but God has a much needed assistant on high!

Dear Amber, I know that you know what Jody meant to me. She has been a big part of my life for 50 years but the last 8 or so have been the most precious to me. Life without her will be difficult but you have her toughness and that special quality that we all loved about her.
