As my own mother reminded me, Jody was like a second Mom to me growing up as one of "her boys." Rich, John, Brett, and I were inseperable from 3-8 grade and Jody was a big part of all of our lives and what we became as men. She always had an open home, heart, and a warm meal for us and will forever be fondly remembered. My condolences and prayers go out to the entire family.

Jody was the kind of in-law you hope for but never expect to have. She was terrific from the time we first met before Monty and Tracy's wedding right up until her death. She was a remarkable hostess and we shared numerous family get-togethers including birthday and holiday celebrations. Jody's generosity and vitality were an important part of so many lives, and her death leaves a great hole for all those who knew her. Our prayers are with you, Monty, Tammy, Monty J., and Richard.
