My family will truly miss this wonderful lady who was so vibrant and full of life. She always greeted us with open arms and a warm smile. We will miss her wonderful sense of humor, and so blessed we got to share many special events with her. Our heartfelt wishes go to Chick and his precious family. May God bless you during this time of healing and remember one day you will meet again in Heaven.

Lucille always brightened my day on Sunday mornings. I always looked forward to talking with her and Chick. She was such an important member of Pilgrim and a friend to us all. Bigger than life and a true fun person to be around. Gods comfort to the family.

Aunt Tootsie we still feel your presence,hear your voice, your laugh. Back in the "old days" we would say that if you were looking for the Jordans in the Astrodome, just perk your ears up for Tootsie's laugh and you will find them straight away. We'll all remember your birthday cards with little smiley faces, your delicious meals complete with fancy appetizers and pairing cocktails. I remember as a child how you would very fondly pinch the heck out of my cheeks when I walked in your front door. While we'll remember the wonderful person you were on earth, most of all, we look forward to seeing you again, the wonderful person that you "are" in Heaven. We know that Jesus welcomed you with open arms. Chick, John, Lisa, Kenney, Ashley, Colby, we love you all. You were and continue to be loved, in the biggest way, by sweet Tootsie.

So many wonderful memories of Aunt Tootsie. I still can't believe she is gone. I will never forget the many Easter family gatherings, her entertaining Southern accent, the huge lipstick kisses she would leave on our cheeks as kids, her delicious five course meals, and most importantly her love and kindness. God speed Toots! We love you.

Our Aunt Tootsie will forever be missed. She was the rock of our family, and the "Lucille Ball" of our family. There was never a dull moment with Tootsie around. I'll never forget all the great parties that she and Chick hosted, the long phone calls and her determined way of getting her point across! She is in Heaven today and what a celebration they must be having!
