I met Jodi on Face Book. I was playing a game about Broadway songs and she just made comments, chatted and we hit it off immediately. She was involved in theatre as an actress and stage manager. One of her greatest joys was portraying Miss Hannigan in Annie and having one of her daughters as one of the orphans. Her knowledge of theatre was fantastic and she had friends touring in national companies as either actors or in a backstage craft.
Her other loves were her Pekes. She recounted the story that her great grandmother had worked in Buckingham Palace as a maid and one Christmas Queen Victoria gave the staff Pekingese dogs. So, the dogs you see in the picture come from a royal lineage!
Of course, her husband and children were important as well. Jodi never had an unkind thing to say, unless it was about Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity. Her political views were very liberal. The world needs more people like Jodi!
So, rest in peace my dear friend. I always referred to her as my twin sister...it's just that our parents were separated at birth! Life can be so unkind taking away those we hold dear, but they remain alive in our hearts and memories.
