Dear Family, At last Jody is at rest. While I feel sad that we can never laugh in the pool again, I know she was ready to go. Jody, you taught us how to live and now how to die. Peace be with all of you.

There they were, M and Ms on Halloween so many years ago in Riverwalk. It was there that I had the honor and pleasure of meeting both Dick and Jody. Riverwalk was a lovely place to live and those lovely people lived there. Mornings in the pool doing aerobics with Jody was always fun and we had lots of laughs. I am sure that she is in heaven, smiling down on her beloved husband and children and grandchildren, and hopefully me. We will miss your smiling face. Love, Helene Fuchs (Cunningham)

To Jody's family, My deepest sympathy on hearing Jody has moved on to another world. Jody was a dear, dear friend of my mother's, Irene Gardner Keeney of Riverwalk. I first came to know Jody during visits to my Mom's and have been blessed by her continued friendship since my Mom's passing a few years ago. Jody will be missed greatly. My very deepest regrets, Robin Keeney

Dear family and friends, It has been such an honor to meet and know Jody. She and Dick became very dear friends of my mother Irene Gardner Keeney soon after she moved to Riverwalk. Jody always put a smile on my mom's face as I'm sure she did with many people. She was just that kind of woman, delightful! I will always remember Jody's kind readings from the bible during my mothers final days. Jody would sit with my mother, hold one hand and read to her, my mothers blue eyes would light up! I hope they have found each other in heaven and are entertaining everyone in their lollipop costumes! Much love to all of Jody's family and friends. Susan Keeney-Smith

Dick and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. What a special couple you were and what friends you were to so many in Riverwalk. I have fun memories of spending some evenings at your home, you were so clever in devising entertainment for your guests. Jody was a delightful person. I know she will be missed by her family, but also know that she is in a better place. May God wrap His loving arms around all of you. Vera Fanjoy

Word has reached us in Minnesota of Jody's death. Though we didn't know her well, we know how she was loved by her neighbors and friends in Riverwalk. Her gentle grace radiated from her warm smile and always a friendly wave. Thinking of your family in deepest sympathy. May the comfort of warm memories bring you peace now and in the days to come.
