Jodi was full of life, and her life was filled with family and friends. She celebrated who you were, and didn't let you sell yourself short. There was nothing like a hug from Jodi. We miss you dearly.

I met Jodi while working at a local ophthalmologists office years ago. She was instrumental in helping us find future employees. Jodi was a joy to work with; professional, friendly and efficient. Even though most of my contact with her was on the phone she was always caring and I grew to enjoy our conversations about our families over the years. I am saddened to hear of her passing. I know she is in God's loving arms. I will pray that her family and friends can find peace in their memories of her and God's grace to ease the heartache.

I met Jodi in 1973 at Scope Agency in Fresno. She was looking for a job and said she wanted mine. This was the beginning of a long and cherished friendship. She introduced me to my husband Charlie whom she knew from college at Chico. Jodi was like a magnet. You just couldn't help being drawn to her. And we had some extrordinary times together. This planet is better having had this woman a part of it for too short a time for sure but a powerful force she was and we will miss her. Dennis you were the light of her life and we pray for your courage. Her spirit will never be far from you. Much love.

To Jodi, Thank you for allowing me into your life and for the friendship we shared. It was plain to see, from when I first met you at BHC, that you were someone very special and that anyone who came in contact with you in any way would be blessed, as I know I was.
I will miss you Jodi, but I know you have just moved up a step to do God's work on a higher level and that we shall see each other again one of these days; we will laugh, talk and share our lives.
To your family and to you Dennis, my condolences.

From the first time 35 years ago I stumbled into your kitchen pantry and we spent the evening talking in the closet, I knew I had met someone special. Thank you for the many years of love, friendship and truth. You touched and enhanced my life through your enchantment and zest for life. I will always love you and carry you in my heart.
Love, Julio
