Susan , John and family. Jody will be sadly missed and never forgotten. She was always a positive person. She never questioned – why me in her daily challenges in life.
Sarah Reain and Tyler Austin
Jody was our babysitter…she took us to the pool and we loved to swim and play together…she was awesome! We knew she would become a great teacher since she remained calm when Tyler did science experiments in the bathroom and created a volcano with baking soda and vinegar on the living room rug! Our hearts are broken. Thinking of you.
