Cheryl and Tom, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Jodi AKA too me BODIE was an amazing woman. She stole my heart the very first time I seen her when she moved in next door her and Scotty were my favorite kids to babysit, but that word was exchanged quickly for my two little side kicks! Now both of them are together again. And they have branded my heart and soul for eternity. My love for them both was immense and Jodie always left every visit or conversation with successfully making me laugh until I cried…She was SO FUNNY! Bodie I will miss you and I will look after your sweet Momma…Love you my little Bodie Oh Oh!!!
