Jody, I can't believe it's been eight years since your untimely passing. I still get tears in my eyes when I think of your sweet smile, and your love of animals. I'll always appreciate your kindness to me and the love your showed to my mom the last years when she was in a nursing home.

I worked with Jody at The Center. She shared with me that she felt her illness was a blessing because she had gotten closer to her sister and mother. She has helped my husband and I get through his lymphoma diagnosis. She is sorely missed by all.

There are no words to express what a loss this is to all who knew Jody (Jo Jo!) I became friends with her at JCPenney. Life got busy and we lost touch but thankfully we had just reconnected over the past year and I am so glad. She brought so much to the lives of everyone around her! She was one amazing, strong, funny lady. She will be missed.

I am just broken hearted to hear about Jody's death. I loved her like a daughter and was so happy when she heard that it was Lymphoma and not lung cancerand that it could be cured. I will always remember her pretty smile and sense of humor. Maybe her dear "Bongo" will have met her at the Rainbow Bridge in Heaven.

My Deepest Sympathy to Mrs. Frederick,Kay and family. I dated Jody during my early 20's for over 6 years.I mean Jo. I always called her Jo.We always had so much fun together. Jo always had a big smile on her face every day. I am so proud to have been in Jo's life when her father died,which was devastating for Jo.Jo was in awe when her father would come over to the house,i mean her eye's would just sparkle. He was such a big part of Jo's life. Jo just worshiped the ground he walked on.Now Jo is in her father's arms again,where she is now safe.God Bless Jo.

Jody lived down the street from us for several years. She was one of the nicest,most caring people that I have ever met. She was wonderful to our boys and was always trying to teach them to whistle really loud...which they still work on and have yet to learn! Speed and our dog Louie were the best of friends. Jody wore her heart on her sleeve and touched so many lives....definately ours.
We are so sorry to her family and to Speed Racer and Sy.

Jody was a terrific neighbor to us for many years in the Westerville area. She was always so sweet to the kids in the neighborhood (including mine), and our dog used to enjoy playing with her dogs. Jody had a heart of gold and will be greatly missed.
