Jodi,

You have been such a gift to me and my family! We instantly bonded over our love for Tiffany smile necklaces and the fact that we both have a twin sister! You became Avery's teacher and instantly my friend! You loved my Avery so well that year, but we often joked about how we looked forward to the teacher part of our connection wrapping up so you and I could fully jump in to the friendship part! I always looked forward to our daily carpool chats. No matter how long the line was I always got in the your lane so we could catch up even if just for a few minutes. You were always so sweet to make Arden feel important and to let her tell you who we were picking up. 

To top it all off, I got to spend time with you at the ballpark while we cheered on our boys at baseball. Even when they weren't on the same team we managed to find each other during summer tournaments and pick up where we left off. Although you never were Brandon's teacher at Cornerstone, he got something even better...to see you and know you as Bob and Henry's mom. What an amazing mom you are! 

To know you is to love you, Jodi, and it has been an honor to call you both teacher and friend! We love you! Praying without ceasing for you and your family!
