So sorry for your loss. Prayers for all.
I met Jodi the summer of ‘89 when I moved to Mooresville and John took me to the Brooklyn Dairyland and introduced us( he wanted to introduce me to all his friends and Bill and Jodi were two of his favorite people). I loved her from the start and she also was my first boss there. Such a caring and fun person to be around and a wonderful cook. I have her stew and tapioca fluff recipes and treasure them.
Rest in Peace Jodi 🤗🙏❤️
My deepest sympathy to the family.
