Jodi! You have been such an inspiration to me, Bill and our three boys. You are a wonderful, strong, nurturing person and I am looking forward to seeing you upon your full recovery! Much love and warm thoughts, Christina

Dear Jodi,
A year and 5 days ago, you delivered our precious Maeve...she was 5 weeks early after I had spent 7 worrisome weeks on bed rest. You were supremely kind, compassionate, and competent. My wish for you is that all the medical providers that serve you offer the same kindness and caring that you have put out to the world over your many years working as a midwife. I pray that all the life you have helped usher into the world comes back to you 10 fold, and brings you a long vibrant life with all your wonderful friends and family! I am so grateful to you, and you will always hold a special place in our hearts. I send you all the love, peace and health that you deserve. Hugs to you :)
Annie, Patrick and Maeve Louise Dowling, Kittery Maine
Hi Jodi, Brian and I were shocked when we found out about your condition and what we've been dealing with throughout your life and what you'll be enduring very shortly. I can't say enough about how you as a mid-wife touched our lives! Being there for the birth of our daughter Sadie (now 7 years old) was incredible and made the whole experience a great one. It just would not have been the same without you. Plus of course you were there to handle Brian which was a huge bonus :) Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during these next few months!
Love the Alati's, Emily, Brian, Sadie (7) and Gus (4)

Dearest Jodi, We just found out about your condition through an invitation from Laura for your upcoming benefit. You have been in our thoughts ever since. To think you were ailing when you provided such incredible love and care during my labor, not to mention pre and post natal care, warms and breaks my heart at the same time. I want to thank you so much for all your loving kindness and the selflessness that it took for you to spend a grueling 24+ hours with me as I labored. Sam is 9 months old now and totally thriving! Your gentle spirit, honesty, love, nurturing guidance, and compassion are part of him and his story. Thank you for providing such an amazing beginning to his life. I am happy to hear you have taken a break from work, although I'm sure that's hard too, in order to nurture yourself. We will be thinking of you during your surgery and recovery and hoping to see your beautiful face back in York, feeling healthy, well and vibrant again! Sending lots of love and hugs from all of us!!!

Dear Jodi,
We have been praying for you and your family since we learned of your illness. I don't know if you recall the birth of our dear May on January 16, 2006. You had been on vacation in Hawaii and I was so sad you would be gone when May was due...well, she waited for you to return and you helped us deliver her on that Monday morning!
May is now a beautiful and very healthy 6 year old. Our love to you always!
GOD BLESS!
