In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Jodie was one of the sweetest people I've ever known. Uncle Gene, I know you and all your children and grandchildren will surely miss her, but we know that Jodie will not know pain anymore. Uncle Gene, I've always thought you and Jodie were the perfect "Loving" pair in everything you both did.
