About Us


In order to lead a life centered on the principles Jodie valued, we must remember the things that were most important to her. Family and friends meant the world to Jodie. She possessed all of the characteristics one needs to live a life of caring, compassion, loyalty and kindness. We hope to honor her life through the generosity of all that knew her by making life a little better for those less fortunate.

Butterflies had major significance to Jodie. They represented life, love and eternity, so we call our contributions to the various charities “Butterflies From Jodie.” We will try to incorporate all aspects of her life as we determine where the gifts will provide the greatest service.
