Not sure what to say?

I miss Jody´s smile! Jody loved her family so much, and her positivity cannot be matched. Jody was generous and kind, and would buy me lunch downtown (Travelodge?). Once she accompanied me to the mall to get my kids´ pictures taken and Jody insisted on paying. She loved her coffee all day. And I looked forward to her `thank you for my Christmas card´ phone call every year.

Jody was a real gem of a person, always thinking of others first. She was also a very dedicated, hard worker. She rarely took time off. Instead, she would donate her leave to others in need, as she did for me once while I was on maternity leave. I will always remember her, and especially for her thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity.

I'm so sorry to learn that Jodie passed away. She was a wonderful, kind person and I feel lucky to have known her. She was always patient and helpful with the intricacies of finance. I remember her fondly. My sympathies to her family.

I will always remember Jody as a warm, caring and patient person. I was fortunate to have known and worked with her for 12 years. She will be missed by many. My condolences to her family.

Jody was such a sweet and kind lady. When I I started working for the courts she took me under her wing. Always coming to check on me. I'll always remember her kind words.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
