Jody as you shine down upon all of us your memory will be brightest for me and my family because we spent most of our times with you in warm and wonderful places like the Florida Keys. Seeing you by a pool, on the beach, out to dinner with your whole family will only bring special thoughts. Many people say the beauty in the Keys are something sent from heaven. We know you will take a piece of that with you and when we look around and feel the warmth and see the beauty, we will all think of you.

Rachel,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of grief.

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day.....

Be still like a desert shrub....

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds....

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear and feel your loved one helping you along your way.....

Jody - The last time I saw you it was already very difficult for you to speak clearly. But as I strained to listen and understand you, you told me jokes and said you were "the best patient at the hospital." Then you dazzled me (and humbled me) with your puzzle expertise. Without realizing it, you had become a great teacher, showing both children and adults ways to make the most of life.



You were an amazing person, and your influence will be felt by all those who knew and loved you. Our family has been made so much richer because you have been a part of it. You have honored us.



Love,



Steve

Dear beloved family & cousins,



Jody helped me get through tough times that I was stuck in. She was supported by great aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and mostly, sisters and parents. I am devistated to miss the funeral and I would much rather be their for the entire family, including Jody.

I have so many great memories of Jody, Emily, and Amy. I really wish the best of luck to you all, and God bless Jody.

I still have the decorational Jewish star she gave me. I will always teasure it and hold it forever. I will take it everywhere I go, so that I know, Jody will always be with me. That will make me feel much more comfortable.



Amy,

Be strong for Emily, i'ts hard for her at an age like 4 to understand these things. Remember that I love you and that I will see you soon.



Emily,

You may not have many memories of your sister, Jody, as you grow older and wiser. Whenever you want to know more about your sister, I am sure that your parents, ir your sister will tell you. But if you want to know more, feel free to ask me anything you want.



Peter & Michelle,



This is a huge devistation and I truly am sorry. I wish you and your family the best of luck.



I will see you all soon. I love you all.



Love,

your cousin,

Noah D. Yastrow
