Not sure what to say?

Prayers to the family for peace during this most difficult time. I have known the Family my entire life and they are wonderful people with beautiful hearts and smiles. Thank you, Jorden for taking me to my first OSU football game. You are a beautiful soul and you will be greatly missed! Give Keith a big hug!

I only came to know Jodene in the last few weeks of her life, but in that short time I knew she was a special lady. We shared love of the Buckeyes. May God be with all those who mourn.

My prayers and sympathy goes out to Kurt, Jenae's family and the Kirgis families. Jolene and I were 2nd cousins and best friends forever. Our families visited back and forth all the time. I have many precious memories of going to school together, riding ponies, swimming lessons, marching band, and printing the High School newspaper. The sleep overs and slumber parties were always great! We did everything together and had lots of great times! It's been a long 3 year battle with cancer...

I graduated with Jodene. She always was friendly and cheerful with a smile ready to share. Prayers of peace and comfort for the family

I grew up just down the road from her. She was always full of smiles. There´s a lady I looked up to. My deepest sympathies

I can´t think of a time when being around Jodene or even thinking about her didn´t produce a smile. She loved life. What a gift she leaves us with these memories.

So sorry to here about Jodean´s she was a great person.Praying for your family

Jodene and I have been friends since we worked together at the Bucyrus radio station. She was an honest hard working lady and she always made me laugh. I will surely miss her. R.I.P. my friend.

Jodene was a long time friend and we enjoyed horses and beautiful scenery. She enjoyed coming over and helping me with my new born miniature schnauzer puppies . I will miss her every day as we talked almost daily . I feel alone without her . May God Bless her family of all her special wonderful memories . I Love You All
