I will always remember and cherish when we were neighbors. Linzy and Cammille played together having such fun as little ones. I know she fought this battle with everything she has! She will always be a hero and wonderful friend!
Jody was a dear friend of mine. We found paradise on vacation in Florida. I believe she has now found the ultimate Paradise. We’ll see her shining star looking down on us from heaven in the night sky. I will miss you girl! Much. My deepest sympathy to Jody’s family. May God’s love strengthen and comfort you during this difficult time.
So sorry. Jody was a sweetheart. Always had a smile for everyone she met. She will be missed!
My condolences to the family. I used to work with her.
To the family of Jody, she was an amazing woman, with a witty sense of humor, a fabulous nurse, a teacher, and a friend to all that could see her smile. I’m sincerely saddened by her passing, but grateful I had the privilege to work with and get to know a little bit about her during those long shifts. Many prayers for your family at this time.
Dear Frese Family, I am very sorry for your loss. This is a heart breaker. I have such great memories of us all as childhood neighbors and friends in Northridge. My thoughts are with you all. With Love, Jay
