Josephine Faith Frost Marcucci: May 14, 1942 - April 26, 2014

We lost my big sister, Jodi, on Saturday morning. I want to thank all of you who have been praying for her. The good news is that she went in her sleep at home, free from pain, with her husband, Ed, her daughter, Gina, and Gina’s husband, Brian, at her side. That was how she wanted it it be. I’m so thankful to our gracious God that she did not suffer.

Jodi was an amazing woman who had a large presence. She was a supreme wife and mother, and was certainly the matriarch of our extended family. She will be remembered for raising four wonderful children, for encouraging and loving her 14 grandchildren, and for entertaining all of us with her hysterical stories. Being with Jodi was like being in the middle of an I Love Lucy episode! She made everything more fun! She was extremely bright and certainly opinionated (that is a Frost family trait). Jodi lived out loud, and she truly leaves a void in our lives!

Don and I will be flying back to Denver on Wednesday for her services on Thursday. We will return home late Thursday night. I would covet your prayers for strength and comfort for all the family. I am beyond exhausted, with a lingering cough that keeps me awake. I desperately need rest! I am praying that all of the Marcucci family would be drawn closer to God and would feel His physical presence with them. May Jesus be glorified by every word spoken.

I will return to begin our study of Hebrews next week.
