July 15, 2010

Just reading the entries in this guestbook alone is enough to see how many people Jordan had an impact on. It's amazing what he was capable to do in his young life and there are so many of his family members and friends that will keep his memory going. We will continue to share the stories of how we talked with Jordan, rode with Jordan, and the times he made us laugh until we cried. Jordan was an amazing young man who was capable of doing anything he put his mind to. He had so much love for the people around him and when talking to him you could always tell he genuinely cared about you. May his memory live on forever in the minds and the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him, until we meet him again someday. Know that you are not mourning alone and although the pain may never completely go away, talking about the good times will always bring a smile to our faces and joy to our hearts. Rest in peace and love, Jordan.

To Jordan's family,
I was talking to a dear friend last night and heard about Jordan, all I could say is that he was definitely an angel here on earth! What an amazing son and friend to all that knew him. I've never heard of a young man that already had a plan to help make this world a better place for the less fortunate, always willing to help a friend in need and most of all the love & respect for his parents. I also heard you're digging a pond in Jordan's memory so that all that loved him can visit to remember & honor him. What an awesome family you all must be!!

Keep the faith & God bless you all

Rieser Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Hang on to each other and support each other moment by moment, day by day, and month by month as you grieve. Guard against anything that could separate you from each other and your faith in God. When a little time has gone by, sit together and read C.S. Lewis's book A Grief Observed as a family. It demonstrates wonderfully that you are not making this journey alone.

RIP Jordan. You have reached out, touched, and changed so many lives. I'm happy that we got the chance to know each other and hang out - even if it was for only a short two years, you've affected all of my tomorrows. I'll never forget you and your funny ways of lighting up the darkest situations. My tears will be of joy, that you no longer have to be in such a cruel world. You're free Jordan!
