Jody....Words can´t express how sad that I am that you´re gone I miss our daily chats, you were ALWAYS cheerful even when you were so sick....you never complained...Such a strong caring lady. You always had great stories about the family that I´d never heard...yet never an unkind word about anyone no matter what might have been said/done.
Even though I´m wicked sad you´re no longer with us, I´m glad you´re no longer in pain....and that you´re finally with your Dad and all others you loved that passed before you. Keep smiling that beautiful smile Much love Aunt Pam
