    Alice Jo and I are so sorry to hear about Jody’s passing. We enjoyed your friendship and will be praying for you during this difficult time. I broke my hip on Memorial Day and am still in rehab so regretfully we will not be able to attend the service.

    Jody was a treasure to my mom, Marjorie Jacques. They were friends in high school but went separate ways for a good part of adult life. Mom met Jody again shortly after Dad passed away and the friendship renewed as if no time had passed at all. Mom is forever grateful for the space Jody filled in time of great need. Jody’s sense of humor kept all of us laughing at the “adventures” in life. Rest well dear soul. You are missed.
