Just saw the notice online. Jodi lived next door on Holland st. in Birmingham, Michigan with her parents Art and Ruth. Knew her for several years, through her first marriage, time in Atlanta, Georgia and first child. Lost track around 1990. She was always a great friend.

Jodi was born just a few weeks before me, so I always got to kid her first about getting old. Then we would talk about it, and realize that we are still much the same as those excitable youngsters that we were in High School. It's brought such continuity to life to know Jodi for such a long time - she's one of those rare persons who could light up your day just by answering the phone, so I always enjoyed keeping in touch. I imagine reality will slowly sink in, Jodi, but it just seems you are still with us. Thanks for being such a wise, caring and loyal friend. Hugs from afar, Pat

I feel truly honored and blessed to have shared so many beautiful blessings and shared moments with dear sweet Jodi. The memories I shall cherish eternally. One very special memory that stands out is the 4rth of July year before last when Jodi and I sat on the bench overlooking Fawn Lake watching Claude, Corinne and Samuel swim together. We shared with one another the stories of the love and joy we felt for our kids. It was a most precious time for us together as Mother's. We became family and shared many meals, holidays and Sunday afternoons together. I could not have loved her more.
I am so proud of Corinne. She was the best daughter any Mother could ask for. Her constant support, love and grace for her Mom was stellar. Jodi lives on in her. I love Corinne like Jodi loved Claude...a beautiful thing. May all the memories we share lift us as we grieve the loss we feel from Jodi's transition.
I cannot end this until I also speak of Jodi's deep love for her Samuel.
It was really great to watch them love each other so very much.
I give all thanks and praise for her presence in my life.

She was a sister to me having no sisters of my own only four brothers. She has been my sister. We lived with just a house between us. Growing up we played with card board paper dolls, in which you put the clothes on with string.We played dress up and played house with all the kids in our neighborhood including our brothers, playing interchangeable roles of 'dad' 'baby' 'husband'. We played from when we woke up until it turned dark. We knew it was time to go home when we heard JoAnn's father bellowing out the door "JOANN" at the top of his lungs. When we called on each other to play we didn't use the door bell, we always just sang the other's name at the door, to let them know we were there. There were card games, especially the game Spoons, on the picnic table in our backyard played. It was a childhood filled with so many precious memories of a time gone but not forgotten.
Later, after we were older she would call me on my birthday to report on how it was to be that age, for she was a year older than I, she felt the need to let me know what was to come.
Sharing those formative times creates a bond like no other, a friendship like no one, a love beyond time or place. I love you today, yesterday and tomorrow. You will always be in my heart my dear friend, JoAnn.

Hi Jodi, Sisteroooo,
Somehow I think you are probably reading these thoughts from us who love you so. So I write this to you my dear sister. As I have looked for photographs from our lives to share with everyone, I continue to see the bond we have always had. We have been best friends along with brother and sister. We have shared so much and we never even had any secrets. Always there for each other no matter what. You are such a beautiful soul. I see your smile of true love everywhere when any thought of you arises. I know we will be together on the same plane relatively soon, and now we are still together until then. I'll always hear your voice of excitement for life and love. Your steadfastness and determination has and always will inspire me. I love you to the depths of of existence and beyond.
Now you enjoy yourself with our passed on family and be happy for us that you have given us your love so freely.
As always, your brother

Jodi you are an amazing woman and I am honored and proud to have been in your life and that you choose me to be in yours and your daughters! If it wasn't for you I am not sure I would have ever met Corinne and found such a wonderful, sweet loving woman. I am sorry you had to go but I know you will be watching over Corinne, Samuel and I as we walk through the woods of life together. You have given me such a great gift, the gift of love! Thanks Jodi! You will always be in my thoughts and prayers!

Our Dear Friend Jodi,
Our friendship has been long and enduring. Although many miles separated us for all these 32 years, we were always together in spirit. You have left the world a better place simply by your presence. Your spirit lives on in your remarkable daughter and grandson. Your struggles are over. Be at rest, my forever Friend.

Jodi, I miss YOU so much. I'm so glad that we met and you got to meet baby Parker. I wish you could see him now. He is almost 5 months old and Maxwell is constantly a dinosaur of some sort. We are going to redecorate and hang up some of your pictures Kent got. We are filling our home with you. We all miss you like crazy. You are the best neighbor/friend I could have ever asked for. :-)

Jodi was my neighbor and my best friend. I miss her so much, I don't even know where to begin. She has been there for me and my family through so much. She was an incredible, strong, and independent woman. I watched her make it through some amazing things and bounce right back. She will be missed!! Corinne my thoughts are with you and your family.

Although Jodi and I only really knew each other for a relatively short time, I found that she was what everyone would look for in a true friend. Having had the opportunity to trade stories with her and let her learn about me, as I, at the same time learned about her. I too lost track of her for several years and, I too found her face on Facebook. We managed to talk via facebook a few times in the past few months, and never once did she complain or even let me know of her worsening health. I feel very fortunate to have known Jodi, and I can only imagine what her and son David are working on right now. Jodi, it was a pleasure!

Where does one begin to talk about a friend you have known since you were two, along with Susie, Nancy, Judy, and Thorn and Mary Kuhl. We all lived on the same street, Holland Ave in Birmingham Michigan. The days were filled with sunshine and lots of playing, your house, my house or their house we played and dreamed. Then we moved away and times change, lives went on and the playmates of yester-year came and went. Jodi and I would write with pen and paper over the years, she even came to California to visit me and my family a couple of times when her travels brought her this way. We passed the time talking about her kids David and Corrine and my son Michael, we had a blast trading stories. With the computer we had email and still continued to stay in touch, but things change and lives get busy and time passes to quickly. We lost touch, but I really did think of her so much my friend from Michigan, wondering what was happening in her life...her emails no longer got to her and I worried. Then facebook came along and I found my friend again...God must have had a hand in this for I would only find you for a few months and then you would be gone from my life forever. But oh how we shared all the wonderful and not so wonderful things that had happened in our lives. Then Corrine came in to my life, and not the way I would have like her to, but in she came, with the news no one wanted to read or hear, our beloved friend was leaving us to soon. Jodi was a doer, and an inspiration, she was independent, even as a kid and a fighter. Her health would not stand in her way. I will miss the days of sitting in a blown up wading pool on a hot summer day look up at the sky and making animals out of the clouds, playing "may I" and tag. I will miss compairing bee stings and stub-toes as we ran barefoot though the neighborhood. I will miss my friend.

It has been 7 days since my mom's death and this is the longest that I have ever gone without talking to her. We talked almost everyday. It is hard to know what to do with the space. I have been looking a many pictures and spending time at her home, which is a comfort. She was my best friennd, even though the last year or two became much harder. I love to see the pictures and remember that she has not always been sick and that she was once very full of life and energy. Out of all of the people in my life, mom believed in me the most. She always encouraged me to walk in the direction of my dream. On her fridge is still the time honored magnet that says 'Never never never give up' It is something to remember in dark times.... I think about how hard it was for her, knowing that her life was forever changing and that her heart disease was creeping in on her, effecting her health more and more. She managed to live alone up to the very end, her independance she valued so much, it carried her. So much love goes out to her, and her life. So much gratitude I have.
