I still think of Jody often because she was my best friend when we were in junior high school and when I moved to Ventura, we still kept in touch for awhile.
Her family the Gardners was a wonderful place to be around which I spent the summer with and still have wonderful memories.

I don't remember much about my Grandma Jody, I spent a lot of my life away from her. I do remember that she loved me very much and she would also give me these little gifts. I still have a beautiful painting that she did, and a hand-painted scent box that she did. I remember that she loved animals, especially horses and foxes, her Instagram showed her love for nature and animals. I wish I would have had more time with her, that I had known her better...I am sorry for your loss, and I am sorry that I didn't look for this sooner.
