When I met Jody in Illinois when she married Randy, I have always been impressed that she had a sixth sense about people and animals. It seemed as though she lived on both sides of the veil as she experienced who and what people were inside and out. And that is why she chose Randy, for she saw his spirit, desires, hopes, disappointments, and yearnings. I always felt very lucky that she seemed to like me, since I felt she could see right though me, my good and my bad. But then, she liked everyone and she made our lives better for having known her. No more pain, no more suffering, no more doctors for her. She has better things to do now, probably nursing others wounds spiritually. Hope Barrowes

I have always been impressed and moved by Jody's singing voice, and her merry attitude. Only a week before she died, I asked that she sing something. She said her singing voice was gone, but when she sang, I became emotional. Her spirit and virtue seemed to make it through, anyway. I think she sang "I Am a Child of God." She always seemed to love those who were good, bad or ugly, for which I'm grateful, because that would include me

in honor of Jody.

I loved our annual summer trips to Iowa. Fire flys, beautiful music and singing, cooking, and my favorite was long conversations with Jody while eating chocolate dessert from KFC when she worked there. She and her family truly did life together and loved passionately. You're relationship with God was inspirational and for a little girl your family lit that flame in my heart to want to know more about Christ. There was always laughter and love in your home. You truly are a shining light of beauty and happiness. Thank you for being a positive role model for so many people. I know you are going to continue being a part of our lives, because you have imprinted on all our hearts. <3

Randy, Jacob, Kayla and family,
I am deeply saddened by Jody's departure from this earth. I send prayers to each and every one of you in this time of heartache and sadness. I know Jody is now pain free and have solace in that knowledge. I will miss her and our late night chats, which sometimes turned into phone calls. She is no longer an earth angel, but now a heaven sent angel. Love, Light and Peace to you.
with deepest condolences,
Michele

Rest in peace my friend, no more pain to endure. While we didn't want you to leave us so soon, we couldn't ask you to stay and suffer. Every time I watch Monty Python I will laugh and think of you. I will miss the letters we were sending each other this summer. We both enjoyed the "snail mail" even though we were just a Facebook message away from each other. Take care and enjoy your time with Matthew and your dad. My love always, Lynn

I didn't know Jody. But I know that Randy loved her with his whole soul. Randy, my friend, my brother, may the Lord give you comfort and guidance for your path ahead. I know you'll be reunited with your beloved Sweety. For now, I treasure your words of wisdom on life, love, and loss.
