My brother, my heart is very heavily burdened for you and yours tonight. I'm so sorry, please accept my condolences. May God lift your sorrows and let you see that he only lets us borrow his angels here for a short time but we can spend eternity with them in a land that's far better than what we call home. God bless!

Sorry to hear of her passing Ben. Heck of a woman to be able to express herself comfortably in a public forum with such honesty and grace. Praying for you to be at peace in the coming days.

From my facebook post today:


Well friends here is the hardest post I have ever had to make. Jodi left us today to be with The Great Physician. I miss her already. She helped me grow spiritually in ways I never knew I could.
Visitation will be 3:30-5pm this Saturday August 13 at Salem Church of Christ. Service will be at 5 with food after.
Instead of flowers please donate to the Salem Church of Christ worship team fund. She was very active and passionate about this ministry.
Below is the scripture and photo from her cell phone wallpaper and the other was the most recent good day photo I have which is how she wants us to remember her.

Wow! You have an amazing woman. God bless her , you and the family! I cried as I was reading but towards the end a huge smile came across my face because that little woman knows she's going to heaven. Be as strong as you can my friend and your family will be added to my prayer list, thanks for sharing and God bless

Ben - I know we've been getting updates on our text group, but hearing that directly from your wife was unbelievable. You both are an inspiration for all of us to hug our loved ones tight every day.

Proud to quit with you every day. Hope you guys can enjoy some time in OBX.

Prayers for you and you wife Medic!!! All I can say at this point I am so sorry your family is having to go through this at such a young age. I hope you have put her on hospice by now. My wife works in hospice and they are very special caring people. From reading her posts you wife is very strong in her faith and that is a big asset especially now!!!
WOW. Prayers for you and your wife. I pray her pain and suffering are eased in the next phase. Stay strong my friend!
my god. i pray for you and your family and the suffering you all must be going through.
