To the “other” Bush family I am so very sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of Dody from when I was younger and Bob and Cathy would bring me with them to New Athens. She was and will always be a kind soul. May God wrap his arms around you all and comfort you in your time of need. ❤️

To my friend Dody…Thank you for always being…just you. No matter when we saw each other or spoke to one another, you were always still…just you. A beautiful person with a heart full of love. Since you have answered our Father’s command for you to come home, I can hear him saying “Well done, good and faithful servant; enter into the joy of your lord” I will miss you, girl! To the family left behind, I offer heartfelt prayers that each of you find peace and remember that one of the best parts of your life was knowing that Dody was a part of it. I know that I am thankful to have been a part of her life.

To the Dody and her family you all have my deepest sympathy. I will never forget Dody or all the good times we had playing cards together at your home, my home and your parents home. The trips we all took to Branson together along with Merl and Maggie, we had a really great time. You were always a good, kind, loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, wife and a good friend to all. Along with your parents we had many good times together. God Bless you Dody
