Hanging with Jodie during our high school years @ St. Clair and working with her at Pantorama was a great time. The fun and laughs we had.

Jodie was indeed a real bright spot in my visits to the Calgary Office from the Field. She would always break away to find a place for me to sit and work while visiting (get working you know). She was a motivation to us in the Apache Office and I will always remember the video she helped with during the Calgary Run.

Jodie will forever remain one of the kindest, sweetest people I have had the pleasure of knowing. From the moment we met in high school, to our most recent contact, she has been a true inspiration, a gem. She has left an incredible legacy to those that love her.

Condolence from Sherri Lagasse (Eveland) on September 23rd, 2014 11:13 am

Jody and I were childhood friends and as life progressed we lost contact until the wonderful tool of Facebook. It’s been great to follow her and her happy life of family and friends. Jody was always a beautiful person inside and out. It breaks my heart that she isn’t awake anymore, but that beautiful, happy, peaceful smile will remain in our heads until she wakes up from her sleep.
I am so sorry… Jason, Todd and to your parents. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Jody was so well loved and from all the comments has touched so many hearts of people.
XOXO

Condolence from Mary Lynne McIntosh on September 23rd, 2014 11:24 am

Dear Carol and family — Although I never met Jodie, I feel that I knew her a bit from everything you told me, Carol.. What a hole she has left — beloved daughter, cherished sister, treasured aunt. and wonderful friend and co-worker, I offer you the following poem which has helped me greatly in the past four months and hope that it might bring you some comfort too:
When tomorrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me
I’m right here in your heart

Mary Lynne (and Douglas in spirit)

Condolence from Ron Peter & Lynne Thorkelsson on September 23rd, 2014 11:57 am

We are so sorry that you lost Jodie after she put up such a brave fight.
Life is very unfair, our heart goes out to you and yours.

Condolence from Dennis Harper on September 23rd, 2014 12:02 pm

Amid all the sadness and sense of deep loss that Jodie’s family is suffering through I hope they all know they are a long way from being alone. Jodie achieved so much in her life, including the fact that she left the world a far better place than she found when she came into it and the fact that she will never be forgotten by those whose lives she touched. There were so many things about that I admired and I was so proud to be able to call her my friend. Being able to help her and encourage her along the journey that we both shared gave my life great purpose. I hope your sadness will end within time and that you can move forward with happy memories of a daughter who was so special to so many. My most sincere condolences for your loss. God, this really hurts.

Condolence from Jenn Sinasac on September 23rd, 2014 12:04 pm

Condolence from Curt on September 24th, 2014 4:00 pm

I was fortunate to meet Jodie about 4-5 years back and got to spend time with her. Jodie was always so kind and put others before her and was a big part of the Calgary community helping with a variety of charities. It was exciting to see her talk about her love of sports (NFL in particular) and you could always catch her running by Memorial/Eau Claire which would always make her happy.

My condolences go out to the Southcombe family, heaven just received a bright smile:)

Condolence from Jane & Rick Mulligan on September 27th, 2014 12:56 pm

When I think of Jodi, I go all the way back to her time in my Grade 2 classroom. She was the embodiment of the ideal student and child way back then and that never changed!! Jodi was thoughtful, kind, intelligent and well-loved by all. Norm, Carol, Jason and Todd and families… Rick and I are both are so sorry for your loss. Jody was irreplaceable and it is going to be difficult for you all. Perhaps the knowledge that others share your pain will in some small way be helpful as you deal with this sad void in your lives. May the memory of her sweet smile and loving personality always be present to comfort you. Jane & Rick

Condolence from Rob Scammell on October 1st, 2014 10:09 pm

Norm, Carol and Family,
Jodie was very special for many people. I will greatly miss her smile, tactful but direct questions, focus, dedication, love of purple, joy in planning charity and corporate events, and most important, her caring for others. I learned a great deal from her. My thoughts are with you.

Condolence from Kelli Scarfone on October 3rd, 2014 1:15 pm

Jodie was one of my first friends in Calgary, and someone who was always a calming presence. She made my first St. Patrick’s Day (my favourite day) in Calgary, very special. No more suffering, but gone way too soon 🙁

Condolence from Anita and Chris Bianchi on October 6th, 2014 11:19 pm

Please accept our sincere sympathy for your loss. I worked with Jodie at Apache for almost five years and I can still envision her like it was yesterday (big smile, funky hat, and beautiful smooth voice). It is inconceivable that a family so full of love should have to say good bye to a young member. Across the miles, we send you our wish that your hearts will eventually find a sense of peace and perspective.

Condolence from Geri Parkes nee Holychuk on October 7th, 2014 4:18 pm

Norm & Carol: I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your beautiful daughter. Words cannot express enough our deepest condolences.

Love & Light to everyone reading this message, both friends & family so dear to Jodie. Bless you all during this time of sadness and loss. xxx

Condolence from Ken & Judy McRitchie on October 16th, 2014 2:15 pm

Dear Norm & Carol, so sad to hear of your loss. We lost a very dear friend to cancer a year ago on the same day so we have some idea of what you must have been through. Sorry we never got a chance to meet Jodie, but from all the messages, she must have been very special.
