I will cherish the memory of Jodi and my thoughts and prayers to her wonderful family. I had the pleasure of working with her on her children's Mitzvahs when they were younger. Too soon for her to leave this earth. I am so sorry.

Dear Greg, Lindsay, and Zach, I couldn't believe it when I heard the news today of Jodi's passing. Oh my, I am so sorry for your loss. One thing that makes this so difficult to comprehend is the fact that Jodi was the very essence of LIFE and love and joy and selfless giving. Our days at Del Dayo working and laughing together are memories I will always cherish. Heaven just got a little richer and livelier...beautiful, beautiful girl...

I will always remember the light that surrounded Jodi and the joy with which she greeted each person she met. I only got to spend a little time with her and her good friend "Whoopie", but I am sure that Whoops greeted her with tail awaggin. My sincerest condolences to Greg and the kids.

Many years ago Jodi worked with her family at Western Career College, this is where I met her. She was the kindest person and a wonderful mother. There were times she would bring Lindsey and Zack with her, I can still here the pitter patter of their little feet running down the long hall to see Bubbie and Grandpa. It was the cutest thing. Rest in Peace Jodi, you will be missed by many.
