Jodi and I have been friends since her years of working at Petit Peche. After the business closed, we did our best to get together once a year for lunch to catch up on family news. Our last date needed to be cancelled and then, Covid came along. I know she dearly loved her family and appreciated all their kindness. It was my good fortune to be her friend. Please accept my hearfelt condolences.
