I first met Jodi when her mother became a resident of Butterfield Trail Village. I have been a staff member for a long time. Jodi was such an inspiration over the years...always kind, always helping someone. She was around the village for PEO meetings, singing saint performances and stopping in to see friends from CUMC. I will miss her smile and hugs. Prayers to her family she adored.
Gordon and Jody were special...may they rest in peace together again. Gene
Mrs. Long was my brownie scout leader and I spent many hours in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Long as I was growing up. She was a remarkable woman...and a cook extraordinaire. She loved her family and community and raised two incredible daughters. The Longs were such a lovely family and Linda and Leslie have paid tribute to their parents by becoming great parents. Mrs. Long will be missed and the world a bit of a colder place for her departure. I am grateful that I got to spend a little time with her at one of her granddaughters weddings in August 2015. She was a dear woman and I cherish all the memories I have of her. Blessings to the family as they adjust to her transition. I am comforted that she joins the love of her life.
