Jody Kay McDaniel

It's hard to believe that a year has gone by since we lost a beautiful, genuine and cherished friend in you Jody. You are never far from my mind and always in my heart. I still look for you at every ball court, field and gathering.

I miss your quick wit, determination to always help others, truly gorgeous smile and the sound of your laughter which never failed to bring a smile to my face.

Take care my friend. I wish for you the same beauty, joy and kindness you gave to...

Dearest Jody, I didn't learn of your passing for 3 months, then haven't had enough guts to comment. I am heart broken for Tom and the children. Our Lord works in mysterious ways. You must have been awfully needed for the Lord to take you now. But oh how you loved life, your family and nature. All of it was recognized as a gift from God. You had told me so yourself. I will always admire you Jody. Your life represented everything I wish mine would be. May God comfort your broken hearted...

Jody, I'm so glad I got to see you and the rest of the family the last time all the Engelhard cousins got together.

The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
Tears are God's gift to us, Our holy water. They heal us as they...

Tom and Family,
We have been so sad to hear of Jody's passing. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. With Love,
Theresa and Colton Janecek

Death has taken Jody from us and left a heartache that can't be healed, but no one can take her memory from us. It will be the little things that I will remember, her smile, her laughter, her sense of humor, it will be the memories of these things that help push away the pain and bring the smiles and the laughter back again.
Jody filled my life with fun, laughter and friendship from the age of 4. She was the best friend anyone could ask for and she taught me to find humor in almost...
