Gosh, I am just shocked and saddened to hear of Jody's passing from her sister April.

Right now they are trying to determine the cause of death--possibly coronary-related.

I visited with Jody at our 25th Reunion and was so glad to see her and get to talk to her.

She seemed to be having a great time.

I know she had been in Nacogdoches a lot during her dad's illness and hope that some of you got to visit with her during that time.

She was our Most Beautiful and she was still a beauty, inside and out.

Rest In Peace, Jody!

I am really saddened by this news. She apparently lived about 5 miles from me (I didn't know).

Jody was a sweetheart of a person, and will be sorely missed.

My prayers go out for April and Lisa.

I'm at a loss for any other words.

I am lost for words at the news about Jody. So glad I got to visit with her at her mom and dad's funerals and see her sweet smile for the last time. We had so much fun at slumber parties, driving through "The Sonic", girl's night out, hanging out in Colonial Hills, and many other fun times. My thoughts and prayers are with April, Lisa, and Scott, as well as Jody's beautiful daughter and her father. Gone too soon, but Jody's memories will last forever. Love you, Jody!. .
