I hadn’t seen Jody since high school, but several years ago we reconnected. I’m so sorry that we’ve lost another Beaver. Save us a seat in Beaver Paradise, Jody.

Jody and I have been friends for 35 years. She was loving, soft spoken, eloquent, enthusiastic, and caring. We spent many times talking about the love we have for our families and the good old days. I will continue to think of her and our friendship. My heart goes out to her beautiful family.
