Hi Jodi,

I am so grateful for this opportunity to share my gratitude for the love and impact you had on Ardyn's life (and mine, too!). I always felt your appreciation for my quirky, special girl and accepted her for who God made her to be. Your love was a significant gift that came to her and our family during a season when Ardyn was struggling greatly to find her place at Cornerstone. She battled a lot of anxiety in that season, but you were someone who consistently showed her she was important and likable. I also wanted to share that I will never forget what you shared with me about Ardyn giving you a word from the Lord on the playground. It blessed me tremendously to know how God was working through Ardyn's life. I was also greatly blessed that you witnessed to me how valuable that was to you and in that valued my daughter. Even thinking back to the decision you made to stay home is a testimony to His loving hand in your life. I am deeply sad for all you have been through and for your family. I will use that for fuel to pray. The Gettmanns are praying for you and your family and believing God will be very present to your husband and sweet kiddos as they navigate life without you. We are trusting the Lord to give you all peace, comfort and great assurance of your salvation. We have witnessed His kindness and goodness in our lives, personally and intimately. I am sure you have a million testimonies, too. And now we cling to who we know Him to be and trust Him for what only He can do. He is faithful!

We love you, Jodi. You lived a life that displayed love. Well done. See you soon, sweet sister.

With great love and appreciation,

Katie
