I did Jody’s hair for quite awhile now and was so sad to hear of her passing. I always enjoyed our visits. We definitely shared a connection on our love of dogs. Her pups always made me giggle, sitting in the car waiting for her appointment to be done. She is missed already. Sending lots of love to her family in this difficult time. Jaye

Jody and I are life long friends, from being in grade school together all the way to college roommates at Eau Claire. We were in girl scouts together, grew up in the same neighborhood, she stood up in my wedding and we spent time together at Lake Julia with our many rescue dogs. So many wonderful memories . . . too many to count. Jody had a heart of gold and I am honored to call her one of my best friends. The thing I admired most about Jody was her strong faith in God, and how it grew over the years. Although I will miss her terribly, I know she is in Heaven resting in the arms of her Savior. Love you Zac!
