    Jody was probably 3 or 4 years old and had curly blond hair that her mom had put up in pigtails. Thinking she wanted to style her own hair, she took the scissors and cut both pigtails off right where the rubber bands were. Now, she had short curly hair!!

    Jody and I have known each other a long time. We lost contact with each other for a while but we’ were blessed to reconnect in the last few years. She and I both shared a passion for our fur babies. She would share her homemade dog treats with me. Which was kinda funny because when she lived with me for short time in our 20’s, I don’t think I ever saw her cook anything. Lol

    Jody and I connected with each other through Ancestry. She’s the cousin I would’ve never known I had, otherwise. I’m so thankful for having the pleasure of speaking with her ( once) on the phone. Over the years, I loved seeing her pics of the Curly Boys. She was a sweet person; and I will miss her immensely. I thank God for bringing her into my life.
    Prayers for Mick & her sons.
    R.I.P. my sweet cousin 🙏🏻

    It’s been a Month Mom…….

    Words can’t describe the piece of my heart that is now missing, that I will never get back. I however have some of the greatest memories a son could ever have of his Mom.

    I Love and Appreciate you more than I could ever express or anyone could ever imagine. You will always be my Hero and My lighthouse on the Cliff during the Storm calling me home.

    I thank God , everyday to have had you for a Mom, and hope you and Dad are both up there looking over Us . Continuing to guide us in the right direction.

    Love you Always and Forever,

    Bran

    Today (December 8th) would be Jody’s birthday. Jody and I met while we both flew for American Airlines. We became friends after that first trip together. She was such a sweet and kind soul! I miss talking with her. Rest in peace, Jody, until we meet again!
