This was a shock to me for so many reasons. It’s taken me some time to really absorb the information. The above is what I found on the Omaha World-Herald web site.

Omaha Loses Another Fine Realtor

The other day I heard that Jody Schott of CBSHome Real Estate died. Jody had been in the business a long time and was one of Omaha’s top agents.  She was always friendly to work with and very professional. From what I heard she died of a brain embolism. She was just 41 years old. This is the second Realtor in Omaha to go before her time in the last few months (Tragic Shooting in Omaha takes Nine Lives including one Realtor).

I was having a hard time trying to figure out how Jody died. So acouple of weeks ago I started searching on Google an the above blog entry is what I discovered. After finding that I left my comments and just did the best that I could with what I wrote:

Dear Trumm Team,

Thank you for putting together a little blurb about what happened to Jody. I am deeply saddened after finding out that she is no longer with us and was anxious to know why.

I only knew Jody for a short time but in that time I felt like I had known her for years. It was always apparent how much she loved her family and respected her profession.

I will not do her justice trying to describe her so let me just say that she was an Awesome human being and I feel lucky to have been able to know her.

She was a superb real estate professional and everywhere you went in Omaha it showed! We actually hired Jody after our previous residence had been on the market for almost 6 months. She had our property sold in just under 2 months even with all the negative real estate issues going on.

The last time we saw Jody was at Sam’s club over the Christmas Holiday Season. We had planned on getting our girls together to play. You know how sometimes when you first meet somebody you get a sort-of vibe about them? Well, I liked Jody right from the get go and could see myself being fast friends with her. Looking back I wish I would have acted on that friendship and scheduled that play-date quicker because I’m almost positive my life would have been blessed even more!

As I said in my comment on the Trumm Team blog.. trying to describe her does no justice for everything good that she stood for. She was a terrific lady and a wonderful human being.
