I had the privilege of getting to know Jodie through her outstanding contributions to workforce development at the state and local level. I am so sorry for your loss. In our last conversation, she asked about how the first year of marriage was going for me. She stated how great the experience had been for her and spoke of the joys that family had brought to her. I just wanted to pass that along. I feel very blessed to have known her.
