"Thank You For Loving Me"
Buddy, it's hard to believe that it has been one year ago that you left us. There are so many things I want to Thank you for and no I would definitely not get into details, but most of all I want to Thank you For Loving me unconditionally. There are so many memories that we share together those are the memories I will continue to hold on to dearly each and everyday of my life. As I look at your picture and stare into your eyes it seems as if you are staring directly in my face saying as you would alway tell me "Shirley" Damn you're Beautiful,of course you always knew how to my me Smile and make my day.
Buddy, since your passing my life has totally changed,I have devoted my time and energy getting closer to God, and my Family, and telling them each and every day the words that we always shared with each other "I Love You". Sleepless days and nights I lie in bed wishing and praying that the phone would ring and when I answer it, it would be you calling,...... saying Do you miss me... you always had a way with words, You knew how get the blood bubbling through my heart.
I miss your sweet smile, and everytime I think about you, it makes it all worth awhile.
I miss the sparkle in your eyes that sparkled when you looked at me always made my day so much better. I miss you I love and wish that you was still with us here on earth. But I certainly know that you are in a place that is much better that we are. Thank you for loving me Buddy, you will always be a part of my life, Thank you for loving me the way that you did and still do even though we are so far apart but yet so close. There is one thing I know and that is I will never let you go, You will always be loved by me.
You Totally Completed me...... Mentally,Physically, Emotionally, touching every entity of my mind, body and soul, too me that is a lot of completion. Thank you soooo much Buddy for loving me the way that you did.
I love you so muchhhhhh. Buddy, this is a poem that I am sharing with you that I spoke with God, the night before your passing in all of the praying wishing and hoping that you would make it through and still be with us. It's call .....
"Thank You For This Man"
Thank you for this man
The man means the world to me
He is one of God's angels
So please don't take him away from me!
Thank you for this man
The man I truly LOVE
I feel and know that he is the one
So please don't take him away from me!
Thank you for this man
The man I can't live without
Don't want to live without him
So please Dear God, don't take him away from me.
And as we all waited patiently for the doctors and words to say that you made it through, we were very sadden by the news, but it light of all this God, new Best. You may be gone but... you are certainly not forgotten.
As the time draws near for this Guestbook to end I just wanted to express you all my love and thanks to you for being a VERY SPECIAL part of my life, and for all that would have been, if you were yet with us. I want forget you and certainly I want loose sight of the memories we shared.
Thank you for loving me...

"Just A Farewll"
We won't say goodbye, just farewell.
When we meet again, time alone will tell.
The body laid to rest beneath a tall oak tree.
We mourn for the one so loved by you and me.
We will meet again! The Bible tells us so.
We will be perpared, when it's our time to go.
We will meet again and walk the streets of gold,
In that hallelujah land, where we'll never grow old!
Again to meet the one the angels carried away,
Again reunited with the body that once was clay.
We will meet again! Oh! What a joyous day,
All because Christ, for our sins did pay!

Missing and loving you always. It took me over a year to gain the strength to be able to actually write something to you. And that's not because I didn't want to, I simply coudn't believe that I had to! It still doesn't seem real to me that you are actually gone, I struggle everyday with missing you so much. I have many, many memories that I will keep close to my heart and will have them forever. Tara told me soon after you were gone that although you are gone now, the love that we shared could NEVER be taken away... that and only that is what keeps me going. Thank you for EVERYTHING that you did for me and for standing beside me during a very difficult time in my life when I was very ill. I would never have been able to get through all of that without your never ending love and support. You were a beautiful man Buddy, inside and out and my life will forever be changed by being blessed to have shared special years of my life with you. I will NEVER forget you and will always love and cherish the many memories we shared. Lindsay and I spend many of days laughing and remembering all of the special memories we shared with you, all of the joy and happiness you brought into both of our lives will never be forgotten. She misses you incredibly and talks about you often. She told me recenctly that the happiest she had seen me was when I was with you. Nothing could be more true! Although you are gone from us physically, I will always feel you close to me and always have you in my heart. Until we met again....

"A Celebration of Life"
Bernard "Buddy" Jordan
I can't begin to express my graditude of how I really feel. It is with much Happiness, and Great pleasure to have had Buddy, as a part of my life. God, has given me so many things in life to be happy about first and foremost he gave me life, he Blessed me with Two beautiful children. Years later he allow Buddy, to come into my life and have such a big Impact on my life mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Today, we celebrate a life that has touched so many hearts in so many ways, that even if we wanted to get him it would be impossible to do so. Unfortunately I am unable to be there to join the community celebration of a "MAN" Who brought so much Joy, Love, Peace, & Happiness, in every person life that he came in contact with. Although I am not there in the Flesh, my heart and spirit is there rejoicing right alone with the celebration. Buddy, celebrated life 7 days a week Sunday-Saturday, and enjoyed it with no complaints.
God, came down from the Heavens, and new that Buddy, was the best Angel, to fill the open set of shoes and he extended the offer and by all means our dear"Buddy Jordan" accepted the job with open arms, because he knew that his job on earth had been completed.
Buddy, you were Blessed with a Beautiful SMILE, that will never fade away. May you continue to watch over us. We will meet again someday. " Rest Forever In Peace"
Love Always & Forever
Shirley Pettway
To know Buddy, was to love him unconditionally, throught the good times and the bad times.

The end was sudden,the shock severe,
To part with one we loved so dear.
A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two shining eyes at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
A million times we needed you
A million times we cried
If love alone would have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,no one else can fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone, for part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You Niece

I felt an Angel today
He touched me on my shoulder and whispered in my ear
Cry no more because I am always near
I felt an Angel today
He touched me on my shoulder and kissed me on my cheek
Cry no more because I am at peace
I felt an Angel today
One year ago today our Angel Buddy ascended into the heavens where he watches over us.Cry no more because he is at peace and as long as we keep his memory alive within our hearts he will always be near. My heart hurts whenever I think of him not being here but when I think of all of the people he has touched it replaces the pain.
I LOVE YOU
I MISS YOU
and I promise to cry no more

To The Family, Friends, & Love Ones
Of Buddy......
"An Inspirational Quote"
Death Leaves a heartache no one can heal......
Love leaves a memory no one can steal...
As we Celebrate the Legacy and Life of Buddy, this weekend both far and near let us all keep in mind that Buddy, was someone special to all of us. Remember, that memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, and the things you never want to lose. Buddy, was certainly someone we never wanted to lose or anticipate losing so soon, but God knew best. We all acquire the strength we have to overcome. We must embrace our pain and burn it as fuel for our journey, to one day meet and greet "Buddy" again. Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
God Bless each and everyone of you that was affected in some way or form in Buddy's life. God, saw and Angel, from afar and sent his workers to bring him home.
I love you "Buddy" you're never be forgotten. "We all love you...
REST IN PEACE

"He's Gone But Not Forgotten"
"To The Family"
I thought I saw your face today,
in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Their work on earth is done."
I thought I heard your voice today,
then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
"There's peace dear one at last."
I thought I felt your touch today,
in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The spirit never dies."
I thought I saw my broken heart,
in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The Lord is coming soon."
I thought that you had left me,
for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They left you with their love."
I thought that I would miss you so,
and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They're with you every day."
"The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,
will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared,
and the peace they've finally found."

"you're the Man I love, my best friend, Even when words go unspoken the love is always in my heart.
I love you in so many ways and for so many reasons... because you know me and understood me like no one else ever could... because you believed in my dreams and cared about my feelings.
Because you made me laugh so hard and smile so often... because you had a way of bringing out the very best in me.
I love you in so many ways and for sooooooooo many reasons but mostly because you were my very, very very, best friend, (The Love of my Life).
I love you Buddy. Gone.... But not Forgotten.

I MISS YOU MY BUDDY
It's so nice to know that you all will keep smiling and keep the faith in a time when I want to cry. Reading your thoughts give me strenght when I miss him so much. It's a wonderful thing to celebrate the life of someone who touched the hearts of so many. I can't believe that in a few days it will be a year of what we know as a physical angel will now be our spirital guardian. I want to thank the Jordan family for allowing me to send you my thoughts of what I could share about Bernard. He is a wonderful man and I speak of him in the presant because though he is not here in the physical he still lives on in our thoughts and dreams. He inspired so many of us to shadow his behavior. When I read his nephews statements about how he wants to be like his uncle it toched me deeply. I'm shore Bernard would say don't be like me be better than me. I know Bernard is proud that he could bring so many people together and celebrate in his honor. One day this guest book will end but the memory of what we know as a GREAT MAN WILL LIVE ON. Thank you again for letting me share my thoughts with you all and GOD BLESS EVERY ONE OF YOU FOREVER.
PEACE BE WITH YOU
I MISS YOU MY BUDDY
P.S.
Their is a great old school song by Smokey Robinson called I MISS YOU MY BUDDY I MISS YOU MY FRIEND. It's a nice song to play if you wish at the celebration of a wonderful, wonderful man.
PEACE

To my legendary Uncle,
I never thought about writing one of these, because I thought it would hurt too much, but with everything going on, and due to circumstances, I feel like now is the right time. I talked to my father Sunday, and he told me to take my situation, look at it, and try to make the best of it. And since you were taken away from us, im just trying to be more like you. I would be a fool to think that I could be the next “Buddy”, or have the type of impact that you have had on so many lives, but I’m trying. Now that your gone im trying to be like you, im trying to love people like you did. Im trying to make people laugh like you did. Im trying to look out for people like you did. I cant do it at the same level that you did, but I can try. You will always live in my heart, that’s why your picture will always be in my room, because I will never forget. They can take you Uncle Buddy, but they cant take what you taught me. You taught me how to make people laugh. You taught me how to show love, and you taught me that I am so lucky to have my father, because it was you who made me realize what he was trying to do. And it was you who made me realize what me and him have is special. But with me trying so hard to be positive, and make the best out of the situation, it still hurts. I know that I will be graduating, and its hard for me to believe that you wont be there, because if you were, I know you would be the flyest person in the building. I miss your smile. I miss you jokes. I miss you asking me how big my head was, and how I should thank God for braces, and you telling me my hairline was sliding back. I miss your laugh, your hugs, and your kisses, most of all, I miss your love. But you have to realize, that you will never die in my eyes. Ever. Just like you used to tell me about my Grandfather, im going to tell my kids about you. Im trying Uncle Buddy. Im trying, but its just so hard. I know you are watching me, I’m trying to “do it big”, and at Central, I'm trying to “finish up lovely.” Thanks Uncle Buddy,
Your brothers son,
The Jordan Family

If flowers grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my uncle's arms and tell him they're from me
Tell him I love him and miss him, and when he turns to smile, place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for awhile.
Because remembering him is easy, I do it everyday
But there's still an ache within my heart that will never go away
Love and Missing U

WHAT I REMEMBER
I remember the first time I met Buddy was on the basketball courts of P.Q. on the South End of Bridgeport at the age of six or seven. My father Kenny Johnson{spider} would play agents him to see if he had game. They would talk junk to each other and Bernard would always beat him and my father would always ask for more. I never thought over twenty years later that I would see Bernard again or that he would even make such an inpact on my life. I remember talking to him about life and what I did for a liveing. I remember telling him a story about an infant that before she was born her father had past away. The infants mom was going through so much stress that she had here baby sooner than she planned. When the infant was born the baby died for several minutes before comeing back to life. I will never forget mom being so concerned about her and saying she will never get to see her father. At that moment I knew and I had to tell her "she did". Her mother looked at me like i was crazy. Your daughter did meet her father when she past away. She had to cross over, it was the only way he would have been able to hold his baby girl. From that point on she saw her daugther in a whole different light. When I told Bernard this story we some how became two really good friends that loved life. From that point on he would always give me flowers with babies breath in them on mothers day. To make people feel good was something Bernard loved to do. He did things unbeknowing to the person he was giveing it to. Bernard love to recieve also but only when it was from the heart and I don't know how but he always knew when it wasn't. I remember telling him that I had a gift for him and I didn't get home fast enough to wrap it and he was at the house to recieve his gift. Who would think a brother as smooth as he would be just as happy as his nephew when he would pick him up on Thursday's for school. Even he as serious as he mae have seemed on the out side was still a hint of a kid shining through. AND NOW HE SMILES ON US ALLLLLLLLLLL.
Love Always from TANYA***********

Part of me moves always as you move.
You're the yearning distance can't remove,
Bringing life to reveries cold and gray;
In thoughts of you my dreams and passions play,
Rejoicing in a hope that time will prove.
Today I celebrate your day of birth,
Happy in the hour that brought you here,
Drawn by all the music of your worth,
A time for gratitude that you are near in (Spirit).
You are the one in Heaven that I hold most dear.
"Happy, Happy Birthay....Baby.

It floated round me like a light;
Your beauty's consecrating beams
Lay mirrored in my heart all night.
As in a lonely mountain mere,
Unvisited of any streams,
Supremely bright and still and clear,
The solitary moonlight gleams,
Your face was shining in my dreams.
I love you Buddy and miss you 4ever.

Shadows Of My Love
I heard you call my name, I saw your smiling face.
When I turned around I couldn't find you.
Where did you go? Why did you leave?
For I do so miss all our bliss.
We were as one, with promises to never leave.
Standing tall and proud, we're now crumbling down.
You smiled down at me, letting me know
You're still around. Watching over me,
Sometimes with a frown.
Sometimes I still hear the whisper of your voice.
Or was it the wind, just whistling my name.
I turned around to see, the shadow of your frame.
Or was that just the tree we planted for you and me.
I knew you're still here guiding me.
No matter how far I travel, wherever I roam.
You'll always be beside me to love and guide me.
Till I find my way back home.
I miss you Buddy.

A poem offering comfort during this Christmas Season...
The Entire Jordan Family
The House on Hope Avenue
How can I go on living with all this pain?
When the pain cuts so deeply and it won’t wane.
I’m told about a golden house up on Hope Avenue.
People tell me it will create me anew.
What is this dwelling I am to go?
Will it cure me of all my burden woes?
Will it help me understand how I can feel so blue?
Will I find solace up on Hope Avenue.
Please, oh please, help me if you can
For I am so desperate, I’m thinking of a final exit plan.
As I enter through the welcoming archway of this old House named Hope
I am handed a golden key by an angel who said to call him Cope.
With key in hand I followed Cope into the golden house’s maze.
Soon another angel named Comfort walked with us as we made our way through more fuzzy haze.
We came to an opening with brilliant rivers and towering flowers
The air smelled fresh with the residue of past nourishing rain showers
Cope and Comfort stood firmly by my side.
Amazingly, I started to feel I no longer needed a shell in which to hide.
I started to study this golden key
Wondering what it really should mean to me.
I finally figured out what was to be
It was to take responsibility for me.
As I grab tightly to my key of gold.
I started to feel confident and bold.
Visions of peace and happiness seep into my soul.
My heart is radiating with warmth rather than being a miserable burning hole.
You may ask is it ever possible to handle the sorrow
When you feel like you have no strength and non you can borrow.
If you believe you have self worth, you will find the strength
With the depth of your determination being perpetual in length
We are all pulsating souls drifting through life
Bouncing into one another to help with everyday strife.
That is the gift I received from the golden house with the amazing angel crew
The gift of allowing ourselves to need and nurture others is what goes on in that old house up in Hope Avenue.

You carried the love for children on your sholders and wispered laughter into the ears of soliders. Many times you made people smile with a style all your own when you left gifts at peoples homes, it was a happy mothers day or just to say hey I was thinking of you. You did some of the coolest and most spontaneous things to make someone feel good and never asked for anything in return. You were an angel on earth to many and now an angel that can perform miracles from heaven. I miss you much and I'm so happy to have you as one of my angels in my army in heaven. I will always remember your favorite words "is that right". P.S every time I sat in that white leather chair BUDDY would say my brother Mike likes that chair and I would respond with one of his quotes, "IS THAT RIGHT". Keep your head up Buddy is smiling at you. Love Always TANYA JOHNSON.

"Missing You"
When the warmth of the sun touches my face,
I see your smile and feel your embrace.
I hear the whisper of love in the wind
And I know that you are close to me again
The rain speaks of tears and the thunder of pain,
But soon the sun comes the earth to reclaim.
As the days come and go and the world moves on,
I know you're still here, you'll never be gone.
On the night the Angel came and took your hand,
We cried as you left for an unknown land.
But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight,
For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!
December 2, 2004
Buddy,
You will always be one of a kind. A heart of a true person who believed in giving. You always took time - for even a person shaking a can just looking for food to eat. You always made sure no one felt less of a person. You are and will always be the most unique unselfish person I have ever met. I feel you have contributed so much devotion,fun, laughter,memories, emotions and fun to our lives.
Your friend is doing so much better and I have to say its all due to your true friendship. He knows you were and always will be his true friend. You took him under your wing and gave him a postive day to look forward to. Again, thats "Buddy" always wanting someone to be happy. You are and will always be the man I love. I have to say you are a gift and Im just greatful God allowed you to give him and I such a different outlook on life. You were right life is so precious. I love you. He talks about you everyday to everyone. I hold back the tears and just smile because I know your listening. Always 1. Have to finish this twizzler.

(A message from dad)
"Daddy's Girl"
**Happy Birthday**
When you jump up on my lap
to give a kiss and hug,
nothing in this world, gives my hear such a tug!
Then way you make me laugh, when standing on your head, acting silly
so I'll look til' your face turns all red!
I know you'll always be...
and I felt it from the start, no matter how old you get you're my
little sweetheart!
You're growing much too fast
time flies by in a whirl,
but you'll always be.

"I wish You Enough"
To The Family
"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitudes bright, and enough rain to make you appreciate the sun more.
"I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive, and enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger than they are.
"I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting, and enough loss that you'll appreciate all that you have possess.
"I wish you enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye's.
I pray that your life will be filled with just enough good things, that will sustain the bad thing that has happen. To the entire family continue to love each other abundantly today, never wait for tomorrow, for even the next hour is not promise to us.

I NEVER DREAM YOU'LL LEAVE IN SUMMER
I THOUGHT YOU WOULD GO, THEN COME BACK HOME
I THOUGHT THE COLD WOULD LEAVE BY SUMMER
BUT MY QUIET NIGHTS WOULD BE SPENT ALONE
YOU SAID THEN YOU'D BE THE LIFE IN AUTUMN
SAID YOU'D BE THE ONE TO SEE THE WAY
NO I NEVER DREAM YOU'LL LEAVE IN SUMMER
BUT NOW I FIND MY LOVE HAS GONE AWAY
WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY?

(Keep Smiling Girls)
Buddy's little girls are so special,
Of that we have no doubt.
And they make him so proud,
He want to shout it out.
Hurray for his little pumpkin (Shavon),
And his special sweetie pie(Bri'Anni).
Hurray, Hurray, Hurray!
Let angles sing on high.
Let songbirds sing it out,
As they fly up in the sky.
Hurray for his little pumpkin (Shavon),
And his little sweetie pie (Bri'Anni).

My Love For You
(Remembrance of you Buddy)
It's been 5 months ago Today.
My heart seems to beat from the sound of your name,
as my eyes seems to cry like a cool summers rain.
When the distance seems to much, for one heart to bare,
I hide in the shadows, and smile with my memories there.
I close my eyes tightly, so I can get you in view,
my heart then feels all the sweet things you do.
A smile comes quickly to light up face,
as I vision our love that can not be erased.
There is no force on earth, that could tear us apart,
we have etched out our love deeply in each others heart.
I love you at dawn when the new day begins,
I love you at dusk, as the sun slowly descends.
You are the world to me now, my heart carries you far,
I say my good nights as I stare at our star.
There's not a man in this world, quite as special as you,
there's not a man in this world, who does what you do.
I've surrendered my heart, and my soul my sweet guy,
I am sure you can feel it each time that I cry.
Forever is how long our love will succeed,
You are all that I want, you are all that I need.
When I met you My Love, all my dreams had come true,
Buddy.... I want you to know, I Will Always Love You

A Mother's Love
To: Mother Jordan...Words spoken to you from your Baby "Buddy".
It takes a mother's love
To make a house a home,
A place to be remembered,
No matter where we roam.
It takes a mother's patience
To bring a child up right,
And her courage and her cheerfulness
To make a dark day bright.
It takes a mother's thoughtfulness
To mend the heart's deep "hurts,"
And her skill and her endurance
To mend little socks and shirts.
It takes a mother's kindness
To forgive us when we err,
To sympathize in trouble
And bow her head in prayer.
It takes a mother's wisdom
To recognize our needs
And to give us reassurance
By her loving words and deeds.
It takes a mother's endless faith,
Her confidence and trust
To guide us through the pitfalls
Of selfishness and lust
And that is why in all this world
There could not be another
Who could fulfill God's purpose
As completely as a mother.

Love Lives On (Genie & Mike)
Those we love are never really lost to us
we feel them in so many special ways
through friends they always cared about
and dreams they left behind,
in beauty that they added to our days...
in words of wisdom we still carry with us
and memories that never will be gone...
Those we love
are never really lost to us
for everywhere their special love lives on.

Buddy,
You have been soooo heavy on my mind & heart, i guess I will never understand gods plan,i feel that you are needed soooo much more here! When I first met you, You asked me if i had a man in my life?
I asked you if you had a woman in your life? You said Yes, I have 4 Special women in my life, and you spoke of them with so much Love, My 2 Daughters, Mother, Sister. I feel like they, need you sooo much more here Buddy!
To the 4 Special Women in Buddy's life, even though Buddy is not here in the flesh, He is more stronger here in spirit, because of the very strong love that you have for him, he will never leave you and he will always watch over you and protect you forever.
I know, because my family and I, are going through the same thing. I've lost a very very special love one 7 months before Buddy, and it is devastating the pain is still very very fresh, words can't express the pain! This person was a son, brother and a father. It happened so fast, just like Buddy. But the love you have for him is eternally, just as he is. Just look up or over your sholder and he will always be there!
God Bless you all.

Wearing My Heart On My Sleeve.
(sometimes my heart beats
to love's rhythm).
Do you know I love you
That each and every day
I wake up with the thought of you
Within my heart you stay
See me as I smile at you
With love I want to share
Awakening in dreams of love
Forever you are there
Hear the words I whisper
Though they're in my heart
Echoes of these thoughts I have
My eyes will now impart
See the glow as you come by
The joy that lives in me
I wear my heart upon my sleeve
So great the hope you'll see
Each day before I go to sleep
You are on my mind
Smile pursed sweetly on my lips
My heart in yours entwined
Say that you will feel this love
Wherever you may go
Upon my heart I carry you
Like waves of ocean flow.

I Thought Of You Today
Sept.25,2004
Buddy-
I wanted to write you a poem
But I don't have much to say
Cause all I want you to know is
I thought of you today.
Yesterday I did the same
Tomorrow I'll do it too
You can take my word on that
Cause everday I think of you.
I like it when I think of you.
It always makes me smile
Everytime you come to mind
I'm happy for a while.
Well, I guess my poem's done
Remember it was just my way
Of making sure you knew,
I thought of you today.

Does Heaven Have A Phone Number?
Daddy went to heaven.
But we need him here today,
My tummy hurts (Shavon) and Bri’anni fell down,
We need him right away.
Operator can you tell me how
To find him in this book?
Is heaven in the yellow part?
I don’t know where to look.
I think my grandma Jordan, Auntie Genie and
Uncle Mike need him too,
At night I hear them cry.
I hear them call his name sometimes
But I really don’t know why.
Maybe if I call him.
He will hurry home to us,
Is heaven very far away?
Is it across the sea?
He’s been gone a long, long time
He needs to come home now!
We really need to reach him
We simply don’t know how.
Help us find the number please,
Is it listed under “Heaven”?
I’m sorry operator,
We didn’t mean to make you cry,
Is your tummy hurting too?
Or is there something in your eye?
If we call our church
Then maybe they will know.
Daddy said when we need help
That’s where we should go.
I found the number to our church
Tacked up on the wall.
Thank you operator,
We’ll give him a call.
To Shavon and Bri’anni “The best and most beautiful things in this world
Cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.” Remember your daddy loves both of you. Keep Smiling…
September 17, 2004
My Dear Beloved Buddy,
I just want U to know that,
I'am still, Loving U and Missing U.

I miss you more than you'll ever know.
I think about you with each passing day, and still I find it hard to believe that you are truly gone.
I remember one year you had went out of town and you called me when you got back to tell me that you had my Christmas present and to come downstairs and get it, I was surprised to say the least, but when I think about it now, that's the kind of person you were (and still are, now that you are in Heaven) always giving and very kindhearted.
I miss you Buddy Jordan, and I want to know that I will forever keep you in my heart.
Love Always,

Buddy,
Today all I could here is the song you would sing and we would laugh because I refused to sing it. You would have such a smile and sing it. I saw a card yesterday and it reminded me of only you. The card said how everyday this particular person found a way to make life exciting for others. I love you and Thank you for all my happiness,deep friendship and allowing me into your life, secrets, dreams and desires. We always said "without a good friendship there can never be true love". You are and will always be my best friend and "my love"
Thanks I love you forever.

IF I KNEW
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Buddy,
Saturday i went to your home, and parked my car in your parking space as usual, when i would come to Bpt. to spend time with u, U would park your car on the street and i would park my car in your parking space, so i would not have to walk far to your door, U always made me feel very safe when i was with u, U always treated me like a "PRECIOUS DIAMOND" U would always tell me that I looked so innocent and that I was too good to be true. As I was sitting in my car in your parking space, I realized that u were not going to be coming out of your front door to greet me as usual with a BIG HUG and KISS and U would grab my hand and hold it until we got inside your house, and all i could do was to cry and cry all the way home to hamden, It makes me sad to even see a car that looks like yours. I still have a saddness inside when ever I come to Bpt.
U was right about what u said, that u was just a big teddy bear,U was MY BIG SWEET TEDDY BEAR, and i just wish, I could HUG and HOLD MY BIG SWEET TEDDY BEAR AGAIN.
"4 EVER" LOVING & MISSING U.

Buddy, its Saturday and I woke up again looking so foward to our normal routine. I so much want to wake up from this and see you in front of me talking with such a grace that no one could copy. Such a walk that no one could immitate. Such a conversation that no one could carry. Such a feeling that no one could provide. You are my life and nothing will ever change that. We will continue to be one. I love you forever.
Ms. Fairfield
Yes your heart she is fine, I will continue to be there for her forever. We made each other a promise. You and I always kept our promises. You said forever, you were never a talker. You were a do err, so I promise I will forever. You understand.
I love you.....
August 26, 2004
Buddy, as always loving you. I read the site and see your face smiling. I feel your laughter. Yes you are one of a kind and many feel that way. Hey you are and will continue to be a real unique loving man that everyone loved.
I even smile and say "wow the lives he touched". I know in my heart you were and will continue to be an angel who tried to help so many people of all ages, race, and gender. I love you and will always know you are by myside. You are smiling. You are telling everyone keep positive, believe in yourself, and get something out of life for yourself, because if you dont no one will for you.
"1" "lets take that ride" yes
Love you always
August 25, 2004
Buddy,
I miss you with all my heart. I imagine your face, your expressions, your gentleness, and the unique way that only you could truly be. I went to Shelton and just sat at our area. I had to grasp one of our million memories. I still enjoy reading to you. I know you hear. I love you....forever. Words cannot say enough; however; you know and I know. Loving you always.
