SHE SEEMED VERY DECENT & SPIRITED. SHE LOVED HER MUSIC & FREQUENTLY HAD HER RADIO . THIS NEWS 10 YRS. NEWS OF HER DEMISE IS RATHER UNSETTLING TO ME SEEMING DIFFICULT FOR ME TO ACCEPT. I THINK HER FREE SPIRIT SHALL CONTINUE IN SOME FORM.

I have known my friend Jody for nearly 30 years.
I will miss looking at the map after I get a call or a e-mail to see literally where in the world she was, or where she was going..
She was always on the move and in that way I admired her spirit. I will miss those updates, but mostly I will miss the call or e-mail that was simply to say hi! I share your pain..
I have kept this picture on the fridge, and look at it daily.. I hope it brings a smile to you, as it has for me over the years..

Jody was a very good friend of mine, we have a ton of laughs and great spontaneous times together. My heart is very heavy and I am very sad that such a confident, beautiful woman so full of life is no longer with us. May she rest in peace, and know we all love and miss her.

Shirley and Wendy, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Jody. I grew up down the street from all of you and went to high school with Jody. I remember when we used to come down and swim at your house, and my brother Tom would also hang out with Jeff. Jody was always so nice. My heart goes out to you both.
God Bless,

I am so sorry to hear this news. Jody and I were friends in high school, and while I have not spoken with her in years, the memories I have are many. She was a vibrant and fun loving girl. I'll never forget the time she taught me to drive a stick shift! She was a good friend and about the most free spirited person I've ever known. I am very sorry for your loss.

Shirley and Wendy, I am very sorry to hear about Jody. Our families shared many great memories growing up and losing her is very difficult for me as well. I still have not come to grasp with it, she is only 9 months older then me. I hope she is in a better place and our good memories we have had with her will last an eternity.
