So very very sorry. She was a wonderful sweet lady—but of course you know that
Sorry to hear of your loss. She was a great lady! Always so friendly and sweet! Hope your memories will get you through this difficult time.
I will always remember Jody’s laugh and her sense of humor. Remember chili with beans on choir practice nights? Oh how she’d laugh!
My deepest sympathy to all of Jody’s beloved family and host of friends. I always loved going to Suzie’s house and seeing Jody- her home seemed spotless and boy she could cook. May God comfort each of you in all your ways through this new journey.

Dear Lyle, Randy, Susie, Larry & families, I just learned of Jody’s passing today. I am so very sorry for your loss. What a wonderful, sweet, kind lady. I always was so glad to visit with Jody at the Sell family get-togethers. Jody had been through so much, and yet always had such a wonderful outlook on life. She was such warm and loving person. And although she is gone for now, Jody was welcomed by Our Good Lord, and the family that had gone before her. And someday, you will all be together again. My thoughts and prayers are with you, as you go through this difficult time. God Bless each, and everyone of you.
