On the 28th of December, just a day after her 25th birthday, my fiancee was snatched away. Jodie White was (and still is) a true example of love and strength. She was a much-loved mother to our three year old son, a sister, a daughter, an aunty, a cousin, and a friend to so many... not to mention the other half of me.
Jodie suffered from sickle cell anaemia and on the morning of the 26th of December she was admitted into hospital due to a crisis. I stayed there with her on the evening of the 26th, when she would’ve been at her surprise birthday party, throughout her birthday on the 27th, until the 28th, when the duration of the immense pain she had endured caused her strength to run out, and she sadly passed away.
One of the funniest, vibrant people you'd ever meet, she was able to easily brighten up any room she stepped into. She would tell you things straight, she was never one to beat around the bush, but you always knew where you stood with her and knew she'd forever have your back.
An amazing powerhouse of a vocalist, she was more comfortable than she knew on the stage. Her voice touched even those that she never have personally met. Jodie's soul really shone through when she sang from the heart. Hearing her imagination and creativity run rampant as she messed around at home easily makes her a musician that I will alway respect and admire.
I witnessed the sheer power of will in this woman on a day-to-day basis and she will forever remained a beacon for my own growth as a person as well as a parent for our son. The outburst of emotions and impact of her passing just goes to show the abundance of love we shared for her. I can honestly say that I couldn’t spiral too far even if I tried, for the emotional support is so uplifting. She will always remain a light in the darkness; a true superstar my soul will never forget.
With this fundraiser, we hope to raise some contributions towards Jodie's funeral and burial. The date of the funeral is the 24th of January 2017. You don’t need to feel obliged to donate, this is just an optional way to help if you can.
I don't really know how to end this plea, I can only hope to achieve the goal to give my lady a send off even half worthy of her.
I cannot thank everyone enough for the overwhelming support through these times.
