Dearest Jody-
I seen this face and I instantly seen you in this photo, your mom was always so sweet. I remember her always coming into dollar general when I worked there and was just so pleasant to talk to. I’m thinking and praying for you at this time. May God send you comfort and wrap you in his loving arms.

I love you and I will always be here for you.

I had no idea that she had passed. I have a thousand memories with her. I remember the walks she used to take me on down by shoups , and would laugh together as I would trip over the sidewalk.
She was an amazing stepmom to me as a child and I regret not spending more time with her as an adult .
I will miss her and I’m sorry for your loss also
