To the very end Jody loved music and the amazing insight of Ann Frank and King Benjamin in the Book of Mormon

I watched Jody grow from a beautiful baby into an even more beautiful woman. She seemed like she could handle the most dramatic events with the calm that all of us wish we had. She will be greatly missed
