Happy Birthday Jody! Praying that you are surrounded by joy and angels-just know you are missed and loved very much.

Jody, you were my Vet for 25 years and a friend over that time to me and sixteen cats and dogs. All my animals were Angels to you and whenever I lost one, you told me "now they have their wings" and to have a good cry in their memory. Even after I moved to Florida last October we kept in touch via phone calls and email and you were always concerned about us. You are a beautiful soul and I will miss you. Now you are the one who has gotten your wings and I hope you are in the arms of all the Angels you loved so much. And I am having a good cry. Rest in Peace, Jody. I will never forget you.

Dear Jodi , I will never forget our meaningful conversations at the Carmel valley library. You touched my life in such a positive way. May you always rest in peace and tranquility in G-D'S heaven. Ron and his buddy Charlie the prairie dog!!!

Jody, sweet Jody, the world is a lonelier place without you in it. You started out as an angel to my sick cat, and over the last 5 years became a trusted and loved friend. I will think of you often and will miss you. Rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord, my friend-I love you and will see you again.
