God has not promised skies
always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all
our lives through;
God has not promised sun
without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace
without pain.
But God has promised strength
for the day,
Rest from the labor, light
for the way,
Grace for the trials, help
from above,
Unfailing sympathy, Undying
love...
Operation Just Cause wishes
to extend a tribute to Jodi Harris.
We do this with respect
and love for one of our own.
There just isn't any way
to soften the blow.
For those of us who knew
her, we will all feel the loss that her passing brings.
For those OJC members and
POW/MIA supporters who never had the joy of knowing her,
you really missed something
special.
Jodi was a staff member beginning
years ago and she will, of course,
always hold a position at
OJC and in the hearts and minds
of all of us who were lucky
enough to have her in our lives.
After successfully fighting
breast cancer,
she later developed a brain
tumor that required intense treatment.
Her doctors held out little
hope and told her she only had a few months.
That was over two years
ago.
When last I saw her; spoke
with her; exchanged emails with her,
she was always in high spirits.
She lived each day as a treasure.
To say she will be missed
just doesn't begin to describe the hole she will leave behind.
