With a broken heart, I share that on August 15th,  my sister Jodie passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from heart attack. She was 53. This was one week after receiving the news that her daughter, Cassie, had passed away.  It was while she was waiting for her daughter's memorial to start, did this happen. To say that we are heartbroken, is an unmeasurable understatement. For my niece Misty to lose her Mother and sister in the same week, is unfathomable.

Anyone who knew my sister, knows that she was one of the kindest, loving, and compassionate human beings that ever walked this earth.  She had a gift for reaching the unreachable; for touching the untouchable. She loved people and would have generously offered everything she had to someone in need.  She will be missed, by so many.

Having to, unexpectedly, make final arrangements for two people in two weeks has taken a toll emotionally and financially.  We would appreciate anything you are able to contribute.  Thank you, so much.
