20 Jun 2024It hurts my heart to see Jody’s name listed here. She will be dearly missed. Jody was the 1st neighbor I met when I moved in next door,17 years ago. Jody warmly welcomed me and we became friends. I’ve always known she and Mark were there ifp I needed them. When they knew I wasn’t feeling well, there were always some warm meals coming over to help in my recovery.😊It was great having them to talk to,over the fence,during the Covid quarantine.
Jody was taken from us at too young an age, but now there’s no more pain. I smiled when seeing where she’d like donations to be given. Jody was quite the animal lover.
Mark,I know it won’t be the same, but when you get a hankering for some Amigos food, I’d be happy to accompany you.
