I am so heart sick over this terrible news. Remembering all of the fun things about Jody helps. She was such a trip in Model UN and quick to offer a gracious word when you just didn't feel all that great.

The tears over this loss will dry up at some point. I just can't get over the fact that she is not on this earth any longer.

With that I have to say God Speed Jody. Those of us who knew you couldn't help but to love you.

I didn't really know her that well but I do remember how nice of a person she was, especially that shining smile she has. She's in a better place now and in her fathers arms. I believe that we all have our purpose in life and Jody I'm sure has accomplished more then her share. It was a sad day on earth but a brighter day in heaven. God bless you all.

I used to talk to her on the bus every weekend going to our games, Screaming Madonna songs at the top of our lungs and putting on make up and braiding our hair for the game!!! I hope she led a happy life and lived every day to the fullest. I lost contact with alot of you all over the years, i have missed you and thought about you. I wish i had told Jody, she was my friend and I will miss her.; ▶ Reply to This

Hi, this is what I've received from someone close to the family.

At this point, there isn't much new information. The hospital cited cause of death as "natural causes." Given some of the ailments that plagued Jody in the weeks preceding her death, (gastrointestinal / parasite, rabies vaccination, scabies medication, meds for back pain, sleep disorder, etc.,) it is quite possible that her body just couldn't handle the onslaught. And when you go to a high elevation, everything intensifies. She was in Nepal for a ski trip...

Her family is here in CA now. Once they leave this coming weekend, we (several of Jody's close friends) plan to send out an email and post some info on the FB page about how people can come together and share fond stories, celebrate her life, and hopefully, let the healing process begin.

We are all a little overwhelmed right now, but if you keep an eye on the FB page we set up in her memory, there should be some posts over the next couple of weeks. I know it isn't much comfort, but hope it helps even if a little bit.; ▶ Reply to This

He was a wonderful person who had a terrible illness and a very difficult life. He deserved so much more. Life's not fair. He was a wonderful friend to so many people in school and boyfriend to me. He was such an all round good guy.

James was known as "The Fly", "Shakey" during our days at CHS.

One of our own Becky Kent-Niel notified me today of the passing of James Norman.; ▶ Reply to This
