Remembering my kind friend, with a gentle soul. It is hard to believe you have been gone over 9 years... I pray for comfort for all that have felt the loss of you. I think of you often as I raise my children. I cannot begin to imagine a world without them. Please hug your parents today, and let them feel your presence. Until we meet again, my friend...

Hi Sweet Boy. After 1 1/2 years of knowing and growing to love your dear Mom, it is hard for me to believe I never had a chance to know you! My kids would have loved you I'm sure. So many obviously have! I believe you brought me to your family and am so thankful for that. I love them all! I'm doing my best to help your Mom stay focussed on the miracle of her beautiful life and the gift she is to all who know and love her. I'm sure that is what you want. Thanks for the pennies!

Has it truly been two years since I said good bye to you and you walked out of our lives forever? We live with the hope that we will someday see you again but some days it is unimaginable that I will live the rest of my life here on earth without you in it. Lucky for me I have all my memories and my love for you in my heart every second of every day, Jordan. I know you are with us and watching over us all. You have proven that by sending us new friends, strength to go on, and so many pennies! We believe! We miss you so much and hope you wait for us as we continue going forward without you. Give Grandma a hug for me. I love you forever, Love Mom

The last time I saw Jordan was at TOTT down here at Western. It was a fun night laughing and dancing. It’s funny to look back at memories I have of him from grade school till now, it’s still a shock, I guess it always will be. I will never forget his smile, I am happy with my last memory and last good bye. My thoughts and prayers are with all family, friends and acquaintances. Through our memories he will live forever.

It hurts to think that Jordan is not with us anymore, but I try to think of the great memories he left with us. The penny helps to know he was thinking of you until the last moment. He is in a good place and he will be remembered fondly as a young man that touched so many lives. This is evident by the amount of friends that have offered their support and condolences. You raised a truly wonderful boy and I am proud of you three for that. I love you and pray for your healing every day.
