To all of Jodi's family,

It is so difficult to find the right words to express my sincere and deepest sympathy to all of you. Jodi was truly and inspiration to everyone around her. She was so strong, loving, caring, and true to her faith even when her health started to decline. I know she is now in the hands of the Lord and he obviously had a plan for her. Sometimes we don't always understand that plan but she is now pain free and loving every minute of it! I have kept all of you in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to do so. Thinking of all of you during this very difficult time.

Jodi holds a special place in my heart. Her faith in the Lord forever changed me. Jodi has touched so many lives by her heroic fight.
Ann, Larry and Carol, you all are wonderful parents. A loss of a child is a hurt that isnt supose to happen, but the lord loved her more and wanted her home. You all will be together again someday in his place of GRACE. My prayers go out to each of you as well as to Marty and the Kids. Lori and Russ Loos

Marty, Reid and Laura,
Joe and I are very sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, we are in Florida and unable to attend the services.
I hired Jodi at State Farm and she has been so very special to me ever since. We ended up working together and I remember what a beautiful bride she was.
Her strength and profound faith through this journey has been beyond anything I have ever experienced. She always had a positive spiritual note no matter how hard her day was. She was the bravest woman I have ever met. Our prayers and thoughts are with you every day.

Let her light continue to shine on all of us that she has touched in her short life on earth. Jodi was a remarkable women. She would give up anything to help or just to listen to others. She will not only be missed by her family but all of her firends will truly miss she her and working with her. She had this smile that would make you stop and say to yourself hey it is not that bad.

You will be in our thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. Jodi will be a incredible ANGEL.

Jodi was a GREAT employee - but more importantly she was a GREAT person. Jodi always had a very positive attitude and a big smile. My thoughts are with the family that must miss Jodi so much!!!
