Dear Morrison Family-

I was intensely saddened to hear about Jody's passing. I knew her during the four years my family and I lived in Orono and always enjoyed her bright smile and cheerful sense of humor. My deepest condolences to your family.

Dear Clint, I was saddened to hear about the death of Jody. I hope you and your daughters are coping as well as possible under the circumstances. I enjoyed catching up with you at the retirement party for Rod and Chuck. I will look you up on my next trip to Minnesota and hope you will do the same if you are ever in this neck of the woods. I'll be thinking of you. Jim Norton

Dear Morrison Family -

I was just contacted by Lisa Melamed about Jody's passing. Jody and I developed a special bond over the past year and 1/2 because we were both dealing with pancreatic cancer - mine breast - hers pancr . I enjoyed our talks immensely and her always upbeat attitude. She had a will like no other. I will miss her dearly.

My condolences to you and your entire family.

Sincerely,

Jenny (Wedholm) Maine

Dear Clint, Anna and Callie,

We will always have fond memories of your Mom and wife. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I can remember the time that Kim was only 3 weeks old and cried all the time, your Mom came over, took Kim in her arms and she immediately stopped crying. She had that special touch not only with babies but with adults. She was a good listener, a friend to all, but most of all she had a heart of gold.

With sincere sympathy

Rich Lori and Kim Hecomovich

Dear Licia and Peterson family,

I was so saddened to hear from my sister Kathy about the death of Jody. I was a year ahead of her at West and I remember what a sweet and lovely girl she was even at that age. I know how close you all were and I can't even begin to fathom your pain. You and your family are in my hearts and prayers, I wish I could be with you on Friday. All my love,

Dear Morrison and Peterson families, My thoughts and prayers are with you all....as was the case with the loss of the patriarch of your family Bud Peterson. My thoughts are of good times at your home on Lake of the Isles....skating on the Lake and then hot cocoa in your kitchen after...remember Licia? I remember a beautiful poster of Licia and Jody as little ones on the beach playing in the sand.....most of all I remember the love I felt in your home,honestly I could actually feel it! That love will sustain you all in the days to come. I was a classmate of Licia's and knew the Peterson family while going to West High....my heartfelt sympathy to Licia and Elaine and of course to Clinton,Anna and Calley.What gives me solace is knowing that Jody is with her Papa in Heaven....I can see them smiling down on us now! My love to you all and I'll see you Friday at the Memorial Service for Jody. All My Love and Prayers, Kathy Dornbach Weber

I was sadden to read in the paper the lost of Jodi. I had gone to West High and remember her very well. She was well liked by all. It was once again a surprise moment when I saw her in the hall of Orono Middle School with her daughters.

She will be greatly missed. Words cannot express how sad I feel. My condolences to the family.
