Seems like yesterday i was hanging out with you , talking to you , and asking you to find out what was bothering ur sister lol because she told you more than me. Now your in heaven and Laura is doing her own thing and i miss everyone so very much its killing me inside. I would love so much to be in heaven beside you and plenty of other people i love and miss dearly. But i have to finish my time here and it looks like that is a little longer , If i could i would trade you places , i would even take the place during the pain if there was any, just to bring you back here at least for one day so you could hug love , kiss and tell everyone goodbye, I hope you give everyone a sign ur ok in heaven as you have me and i hope god opens there eyes so they can see when it happens the miracles god makes happens. I guess they needed a CSI agent in heaven. Love and miss you little sister in law always will and never will forget you u will always remain in my heart and so will the Sharp, BEST, and Ricketts family Love and miss you all as well. Rest in peace little angel and fly high!! Mike White

Baby Jordan you are loved , and will be missed and never forgotten. I will never understand why god had to take you so soon, But im sure he had a good reason and i cannot blame him for wanting you in heaven. You brighten the sky wherever you go and you defiantly made your mark here on earth and you will always be in mine/our hearts. So sorry to see you go. Will see you one day. If u didnt wanna help me paint this was no way to get out of it you could have just said no. Love and miss you Jordan RIP.
