To my old friend Jody,
My heart goes out to you. I will miss your mom a lot. Even though I havent seen her much over the years, it was nice to know she was still where I grew up. She was a great woman with a lot of fight in her, and I have a lot of happy memories of her. If you need an old friend, I'm here.
