That is a fitting photo of Jodi since you always see her smiling.I know some students of hers as luck would have it...my wife's relatives. Not a shock to those that know her better than I she was their favorite teacher. I also have heard she made a great impact on some kids who would not have excelled in their studies without her influence.
I really enjoyed talking to her at the reunion. She told me how Joe won the fight twice against cancer and how he had the golf tourney every year to raise money. She was very passionate about his success.
She seemed very happy with her family and career and she is the kind of person we are all better people for knowing.
Best regards,

I am so sad to hear this news. She was a wonderful, kind person with such a smile as she talked about her husband, kids,and students. I pray for her family and children.Tim Johnson
What very sad news. I am thankful that some of our classmates,"family", could attend her funeral. I know that they represented the rest of us, who could not attend, very well. It sounded like it was a very nice service.Jodi will be missed by everyone that she touched. Her beautiful and "full of life" smile will always be remembered by all. I am thankful that we all had the chance to share our high school years with her.
Best regards,
Tim Johnson
