time moves forward memories last an eternity. never thought of the hurt and pain having not to be able to conversate. or even meet with them. i guess time separates us all once we reach a point in life. it leaves the memories the only thing to hold on to. wishes to all.

just as a reminder. I could find not one word or words to truly express the devastation this did to the entire family, friends and specially to me personally. there has not been one day I haven't had her in my conscious. I never had the luxury of meeting jay and the kids. all I can say is she took the right hand to lead her through the rigors and the rewards in life. and led her down the best path to the best of my knowledge. I'm still unable to find the words that express my losses personally. and I would feel no different with any one of them. if they were to fall victim to such a devastating event. I share this feeling with Janie's son with equal pain. remembering Gus as a little gleaming light of life. that would light up even a bright sunny day. as for Jodi's mom and dad. it was identical to losing life long parents. they both were mentors in my life. something that is a rare event. considering not being a real family member. even though I grew up with them all. and that family loving feeling flame can never be extinguished. I can only hope the remaining family will fulfill their lives and destinies to the fullest extent. and be blessed with peace and love and the best of health. as they always have. my only thought is I feel lost over her event. something that will never be removed from my conscious. my heart goes out to Jay and their children. the loss is priceless. and can never be changed. if I could, I would just assume place her back in the same condition as when I was last with her. one can only wish that. when growing up we somehow take for granted that life seems to be infinite. but as we move forward and grow older that desperately changes. and we always regret all the lost time when we could have been there with them. I give her my deepest blessing and the same for her family. I will continue to celebrate her life. which for me was a very long time. my best wishes to all. I could fill an entire 1000 page book with all my grateful experiences with them all and still not have enough pages to fill it. and equally hurtful was Steve. who treated me like the big brother I never had and looked up to as well. will never be forgotten. bless his soul and his other family losses. they were and still are a one of a kind special family. one that can't ever be duplicated. they were some of my life's best memories and even played a significant role in my own growth in life. to which I 'am totally blessed. another year has passed and each one feels like it was yesterday. that's the power of life. especially when it is a rare opportunity. another that can't be duplicated. which only makes it that much more important and significant. but eventually reaches a point of devastation for us all. rest well Jodi. for there can be no more pain. something I wish on no one. it sickens me that science fancies themselves as some kind of super power. yet they can't even conquer what is and has been a very serious and growing problem. along with many other diseases and illnesses. yet continue to blindside humanity with other non-priority issues. life is priceless. flying to mars is not. I feel all of humanity will fall victim to some unseen powerful disease. if in fact it appears to be already in evolutions plans. I give my best of everything to all. and leave no one excluded from my thoughts and prayers. bless the world. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to voice my feelings. thank you legacy for the opportunity. to do so. as for the family. call on me anytime in the event for the need for help, assistance, or just a shoulder to lean on. I have each and every one of their backs. and always will. my best wishes. happy holiday's to everyone! jeff

i grew up with Jodi and all her family. they all treated me like family. every loss has taken a piece of my soul. i will always remember all the cherished memories. they were all like my second family. something that can never be taken away. for all the family that are still here i love them all from the bottom of my heart and can only wish and hope they will live out their destiny in peace and tranquility no matter where they may be. I'm totally blessed by growing up with them all. (jeff) william j. ward

I’ll never forget this sweet little girl coming up to me in 4th grade and asking me if I wanted to teeter totter. Little did I know how metaphorical that playground activity would be. We shared ups (maid of honor at each other’s weddings) and downs (too many bad choices to mention...that got us into trouble) but most of all we had a special friendship that lasted a lifetime. Those are rare. I love you forever Jo! I love her family too! Thank you for putting up with me all these years. I love you Jay and pray you and the boys can have a special peace about this ....especially this Christmas Season. XO

Jodi was one of the best sisters anyone could have. We had 54 great years together that I will forever hold in my heart. I miss you so much.
