Welcome to my page! We are once again walking for Jodi!
If you are new around here or need a recap, my beloved sister-in-law, Jodi Harris, was diagnosed with stage IV adenocarcinoma in her right lung in November 2020. As her illness progressed, we found out that she had developed leptomeningeal disease, an extremely dangerous metastases causing cancer cells to spread from her lung to her cerebrospinal fluid, aka her brain. She fought like hell! Every day she woke up with a smile on her face and determination like no other to fight this horrific disease.
On May 2nd, 2022, we lost Jodi. It is unfathomable that two years have gone by without her here.
Jodi was a rockstar at work and in our family. She rose through the ranks at Anheuser-Busch InBev, and was a colleague and mentor to everyone she met. Jodi had a warmth about her that was unmatched and she made everyone she met feel comfortable and valued. It’s hard to find that in a person so genuinely. She understood people and asked all the right questions to help you find a solution that you had deep down already known.
She left behind her husband Jordan, my brother, and her twins, Remy and Lulu. Not to mention the tons of friends and family who also miss her dearly. She meant everything to so many of us. It is hard to put into words what her passing really meant to us. But we continue to go on as she would have wanted us to.
This is why I am walking in the LUNG FORCE WALK on May 18th! I hope so deeply that no other family will have to experience a loss so great like we have.
