Jody will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. The memories of holidays, cookouts, dancing to Michael Jackson at all hours of the night....are some that I will never, ever forget. Her love, dedication and loyalty to her family is something I have never seen from any other human, and her strength was beyond compare. Her family was the beat of her heart, and I know she was so proud of each and every one of them. We will miss you Grandma JoJo!!
