Sweet Jodi,

As I think back, I remember meeting you and your boys at Simpsonwood Preschool.  Bob and Henry were names we heard often in our house. Ella adored Bob and Henry! She loved nothing more than coming to play at your house and "jump" off bunk beds and play hide and seek! I remember Greg loading Ella's bike in the Yukon many Sunday afternoons to ride with Bob and Henry on Treaddur Bay. I enjoyed each conversation and lunch we shared as you made the decision for your boys to attend Norcross kindergarten with Mrs. Hunsberger. What a gift this was for Bob and Henry as well as my Carson and Chandler! Fast forward several years......Ella was heartbroken when you left Simpson and she wouldn't have you as a teacher.  God had a bigger plan, and you were that familiar face that she LOVED as she began Cornerstone in 6th grade. Thank you for loving Ella so well as you lead 6th grade Bible study. You also spent selfless extra hours after school, working with Ella to assure she understood content that had been missed in science.

Fields Club Swim Team!  So many memories shared with your precious family!  Thank you for endless volunteer hours given to our Fields Club RiverRats!  You always led with great organizational skills, kindness and a smile! Jodi, you have led by example and these leadership traits have been passed down to your beautiful Ava Mei. Ava Mei now coaches and leads these young swimmers with great skill and enthusiasm, just like her Mama!

Jodi, I have loved you as a friend, fellow twin Mom, teacher and neighbor.  Thank you for years of friendship. Greg and I are praying earnestly for your family. You have been a blessing to so many. I rejoice in knowing we will meet again my friend. I LOVE YOU! 

Jill (Greg and Ella) White
