Wes, I’m sorry for your loss. Jody was a wonderful person, always smiling, fun and full of life. She could light up a room just walking through the door.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Your friend,
Paul
Wes, Connie, Jill, Jack & families, we are so sorry to hear of Jody's passing, she was such a beautiful lady. Our sympathy & prayers go out to all of you. Jerry & Bonnie Joldersma
I first met Jody in the snack/lunch room at CMH when I started working there about eleven years ago. I was frustrated because the chips I paid for in the vending machine got stuck and wouldn't come out. Jody walked up to the machine and rocked it back and forth so hard I thought it would tip over! I got my chips, plus three or four other bags besides! As others have said, Jody was a class act - and had such a beautiful laugh. My sympathy to her family and all who knew her. She was one of a kind! Peter Chandler, Norton Shores
So sorry to hear this! What a wonderful person!

We will always remember the kind, most welcoming and loving person that was Jody Eklund. She had a kind and gentle heart that this world will surely miss. We will also remember the understanding, devotion and pure love that her husband Wes Eklund demonstrated to his wife during these past many, many months of trials and tribulations. A wonderful couple indeed.

Jody was so nice, to her family, sorry for your loss. Joni Grzeskowiak
Our “precious” friend — always smiling no matter how bad she felt, never complaining, and always looking beautiful no matter what, even on her worst days. JoJo, you will be missed immensely! Run free, my dear friend!
Wes and family.... I am so sorry to hear about Jody's passing. She was always a shining light, smiling all the time. She was a battler always positive. She will be greatly missed.
