But this time it wasn't you it was the bad news. the worste thing in my life that I ever had to hear. Shantae (mikes dead). Something that never crossed my mind. Four Years with a day to day friend and now your gone. But the best is to come out of the situation.Our son will be here shortly i guess your up there getting him ready for me. But until then I'LL take good care of myself and your son. Lil Micheal Monte Jordan JR. And your mom while you and the lord take care of me. I love you with un speakable and unthinkable love that will never die. You'll always live on through me. Love your wife,SHANTAE.

Words can not express the sorry I feel for the passing of your dearly departed love one. Be it known that God knows your sorry and I pray that he comforts the family at a time such as this. I shall keep you all in my prayers continually.

I don't know where to start or what to say at this point. I just realize that life is too short to take advantage of it. I don't even know Michael and it's a shame that I don't. Thats my brother and I wish that I could have at least once met him and said your my blood. I heard people talk about him and even my little sister use to talk so much about him, but I never got the pleasure of meeting him. I think the worst part about that is I went to school with him, walked the same halls with him everyday, and probably even said hi a couple of times. But I never knew he was my own brother. I would like to say to the rest of my family that I don't really know that my heart is with you. And don't worry because Michael is in a better place now and God is taking good care of him. He has left this sinful world to be in a better place. Even though we never officially met, Mike I love you and you will missed.

"The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight" May God continue to bless you and your family.

I cannot finds any words that would be sufficient enough to ease your pain at this time. Just trust in the Lord that He had a plan for Michael. We don't understand why our loved ones are taken from us, but we must carry on and let them live through us. I believe Michael would want you to know that the brightest star in the sky, will be him smiling down on his family and friends. Keep the faith...and (BEN)...we love you dearly. To the family: May the peace of God surround you always.
