Dear Betsy and Family:
It was with deep sadness that I heard of Jody's passing. Although I knew Jody for a short time back in his hockey playing days (South Shore Rangers) in Ontario, I can remember his smiling face and kind ways. Karen has kept me aware of Jody since the move west and for that I am very grateful.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
Jim Ferguson and Family.

Betsy and Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. My memories are of a warm and loving family with love and hospitality for whoever God brought into your lives and through your door. I am thankful to have met your family and to have known Jody even some. I will be praying for you the next few days and in time to come.There is comfort in knowing Jody is with his Lord, the one who knew him best and loved him most.
Much love,

We are sad to hear about Jody's passing. Jody was a great family man and his legacy will shine bright. I will always remember his smile and he lit up when he shared stories about his children and grandchildren.

Dear Betsy,
Our prayers are with you. We enjoyed meeting you and Jody while attending the Alpha course at First Alliance. Jody's love of Christ truly shined through. His patience truly helped Mike learn a lot about Christ's love.
