I only met Jodi once back in 2012, but that short bit of time we spent together was, without any shred of exaggeration, life-changing. I feel like God put her in my life for that flash in time to give me strength in the tough times to come. The tremendous kindness and heartfelt advice she gave me at the very worst moment of my life is something I will never forget. Please know that you will continue to be in sincerest prayers.
