I have known Jody from the day she was born, but an early memory was I when i lived with Gail, James and Jody (around 1986) We moved from Blackbush Cottage to Moor Park (the day we moved i was in the car with 4 dogs, James, Jody and Gail, it was snowing and Gail was driving as crazy as she ever did, dogs barking, kids screaming and Gail driving as she always did - longest 5 mile journey ever) and i suddenly went from sleeping in a separate building to being in the bedroom next to Jody and across from James. Every Saturday and Sunday morning at 0700hrs i was woken up by both of them running into my bedroom jumping on me and making me sit with them to watch Wide Awake Club/Wacaday (Jody’s favourite programme) whilst eating their special breakfast of chocolate rice crispy cake, fruit and usually more chocolate rice crispy cake (if Gail was still in bed) Jody would jump up and down, singing and running around the room finishing the run by landing on a beanbag laughing loudly and hysterically causing James and me to laugh as well. Xx 20 years later sitting in Gails hot tub with Jody and Gail until 0500hrs having drunk 2 boxes of wine, putting the world to right and only Gail managing to lift her head off the pillow for 2 days afterwards Xx Happy days indeed! I have so many memories, and i wish i would have had the time to have many more. Jody was an exceptional person and i loved her more than she will ever know xx
