In memory of Doreen Hughes and Jody

April 3, 2025 by Katelyn

Sending our gratitude out to Donna Hughes for sponsoring this lovely day of sanctuary in memory of both her beloved sister, Doreen Hughes, and our beloved Jody:

“Remembering our two girls who transitioned in April. Doreen (Hughes) and Jody. Both girls were incredible friends. Both girls are missed enormously. Doreen was so happy to have “met” Jody and her friends on our visit. Life can never be the same, but their spirits remain with us always. We feel their presence around us, and know they are still with us. How lucky we were to have known and loved both of them. Let’s honor Jody and Doreen today!!!”

How lucky we have been, indeed. <3

    Thank you, Donna, for remembering both your twin sister Doreen and my little sister, Jody. There is a light which illuminates from their souls which we carry within our hearts, a light that never goes out.

    And thank you, Katelyn, for your selection of today’s photographs. I am quite amused at the picture of Jody, Jamie and the Snow Trolls. As with the picture of Neggie and Jo, I sense that an elaborate inside joke is being conveyed. Oh, to be able to read their minds…

    I love all of these pictures of JoJo, but the first one is my favorite. I can’t believe it has been two years already, may she continue to rest in peace.

    Seeing Jody’s beautiful face when I opened my computer this morning, filled my heart with wistful love and happiness. Wherever you are, sweetest Jody, you are living in light, I know that for sure.

    What a beautiful tribute, Donna. I stand alongside you in honoring Doreen and Jody.

    These photos are simply sublime! I love them all, but that image of Jody and Jamie, look how happy Jody is! Oh how I miss photos of her droopy bottom lip. The last photo of Negra and Jody is also very touching. Two happy girls, just enjoying each other‘s company. Sharing a giggle. I love the way Neggie is looking at Jody.

    Beautiful, heartfelt words, Donna and how lovely that Doreen met Jody; a meeting your beloved sister would have cherished for the rest of her life. I send you love as you hold in your heart the memory of two beautiful souls, both entirely unforgettable and so very much missed.
