Jody - your Uncle Ed will miss you terribly - I know from the life you lived Jesus is holding you today. I am blessed to have you for a Niece for the time I did. Words cannot say how much Bren and I loved you.

Dear Martha and Peggy, so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Jody's beautiful smile, voice and twinkling eyes. I was so fortunate to meet her at Scaffold Lick Baptist Church. She was instrumental in my decision to attend Franklin College. My relationship with her changed my life in too many positive ways to count. Now she is singing with the angels. Love and prayers for comfort. Velma Davidson

Just learned of Jody's passing. we've lost so many wonderful classmates, from the class of 1971. Jody was always so pleasant and fun to be around. May God hold her tight, and give her family the strength to be strong as they go through this difficult time. RIP Jody.
