Dear Joan I just read your daughter passed. Prayers and love to you over the miles. Hope the next time you see a sunrise or a meadow of flowers you’ll feel your daughter’s love and she’s OK
I just learned about Jodi’s passing yesterday and though It’s been awhile since I saw her, my heart is so sad to know that I will never see her smiling face again. I was lucky enough to spend many weekends camping with her and I will forever be grateful for the memories. My heart goes out to her family and her close friends and coworkers. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Jodi was a port in the storm. She had a calming energy that neutralized chaos. She was a gift to have as a coworker.
I had the privilege of working with Jodi at Maple Grove Hospital and calling her a friend for the past 10 years!
She was witty, fun and had an infectious laugh and smile! She made a lasting impression on the lives she came in contact with! She will be missed! My deepest sympathy to her family and friend! Be at peace Jodi.
I worked with Jodi in the ETC at SCH. She made me smile so many times with her sweet, compassionate spirit and amazing sense of humor. Jodi, you were a blessing to know. Thank you for making the world a brighter place! Code Donut, room 4.
