Dear Mr. and Mrs Jordan,

My mom called me last evening with the sad news. I will always cherish the times we spent together growing up-playing basketball in your back yard, watching his little league games. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lisa, Mike and Kami



I just returned from a trip with my mom and sisters to Europe when I heard about Bo. My heart is just breaking for all of you. I have thought about you all often, especially when I'm on Beechnut, thinking maybe I'll run into one of you sometime. One never knows what to say at a time like this, but just know you are in my heart, my thoughts and prayers. I know my guys, especially Sean, were very fond of Bo and had thought of him as their younger brother.



With love, Phyllis

Mike and Lisa, We are all so sorry about your great loss. John and I were reading the paper Sunday night and came across Beau's obituary. Mike, take pride in your relationship with Beau, he was a friend as well as a son and we know he will be greatly missed. We all enjoyed getting to know your family through Westbury Little League. We had some great times there. Although we never had the pleasure of meeting Adele, she must be very special to have become Beau's wife. Know that ya'll will remain in our thoughts and prayers. Love,

I heard yesterday from Thomas(my son). Both of my boys (Tom and John Kincaid) were friends of Beau's. They played Little League together and became good friends. I am so sorry for your loss he was always a leader and inspirational light to my boys. I will keep you in my prayers. God be with you.

My cousin Beau was one of the warmest, sweetest and funniest people I've ever met. His presence could light up a room and cease a war. Although my heart is sick for our family, Beau's beatiful wife Adele, and all of Beau's incredible friends (many of you made me laugh and cry at the funeral services with such heartwarming and funny memories that were shared),I am trying to take comfort in the fact that maybe it was his incredible nature that allowed him to be called earlier. Apparently, it only took him 25 years to get his work here done, while the rest of us jerks aimlessly wander around, trying to be half the person he was....that's a joke (kind of), so I hope noone is offended, because I know Beau is laughing.

Beau, you ARE a BAMF, and I hope you hold some pickles and cheese for me up there, too. SuFi.

I love you, and I will never forget you.

Your cuz, Elizabeth

Daer Mike and Lisa,

I heard about this late last night and was very sadden to hear about your great loss. He was one of the greatest kids I ever knew at Westbury or for that matter anywhere in life. I went by the house this morning to pay my respects but it was locked up. Love You'll always.

To Adele, Laura, Joel and Elizabeth and the Jordan family. I cry each time I think of the loss and sadness your families are going through. I am still in shock over his passing! I pray constantly that your sadness can be lessened by the wonderful memories of what a fantastic young man Beau was! He was a nice young man with a good sense of humor. I knew the first time I met him that he was special to your family. The interaction amongst all of you with him was great! My heart and my love goes out to you.

Hey B/BAMF/B-Dog –



I really wish I wasn't writing this but....really, thank you for being one of my best friends. When things weren’t always so bright in life, I could always look forward to hanging out with you and Adele, having some laughs and at least making it better for that evening. I have and will really miss hanging out, our countless annoying quotes and inside jokes, playing guitar and MVP baseball on the PS2, and most importantly just talking fun, music, comedy and life. I will most definitely miss us ‘being fat’ together/humoring ourselves about how happy we actually were younger and thinner or doing something besides hitting a drive thru at 12 in the morning to lose the weight. I will always remember the good times, like trying purposely to make you laugh during your wedding rehearsal and us heckling the crap out of John Mabry at game 4 of last year's NLDS. I will never forget how good of a person you showed you were when I couldn’t find a job last summer or especially when my mom died this spring-- there is no way I would have gotten thru the first weeks without your friendship, support and assistance. I wish I even began to know how to be as good to your family right now as you were to me and mine.



My heart goes out to Beau's family, friends and everybody affected by this unbelievable tragedy.



I would like to end this note with some sense of normalcy and humor. So...Beau, I know you’re busy but I think I'm going to head to the BK Lounge to pick up a sangwich w/extra pickles; then maybe Bed, Bath, and Beyond, I don't know. I don't know if I'll have enough time...Where's the van??

Adele & Jordan Family,

It really broke my heart when I heard of Beau's passing. He was such a great, fun-loving and passionate man. He made work a much more enjoyable place to be and I was honored to have him as a friend. He always spoke highly of all of you, and took great pride in Adele and his wonderful family. I hold many fond memories of him and he will be greatly missed. Bless you all in this time of great loss, but take comfort knowing that Beau is in the Lord's loving arms.

To my second family I know your pain is great and I wish I could take it away from you but then I would be taking Beau away. You have been apart of me for over 21 years even though I was a young adult when your family came into my life...I watched Beau grow into the man he was. Beau could walk into room and it was like a light had been turned on. Even though the light has gone out, it will forever shine in our hearts and memories. I Love You Tracey

My thoughts and prayers are with the Jordan family. I remember the day Adele called to tell me about Beau when they had first started dating. From that moment, I knew he must be something special. And he was. The first time I met him, he made me laugh with his witty remarks. Adele & Beau's wedding was so beautiful and will be a wonderful memory to always have. I know this time is very hard for all of you. If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

Beau, as I heard of your passing, I wondered why the Lord would need you so soon. My heart was eased knowing you went to Him while you slept. My heart goes out to Adele and all of your family. You are an awesome man, Beau. You have a beautiful heart and don't try to hide it. That makes you so special, maybe that is why the Lord needed you so soon. Many memories came back to me over the past few days - they were all good.

Thank you for being a good friend at work and for including me at your wedding. It was beautiful.

Adele, I want to help you, if I can. I lost someone very special to me and I know your pain. Contact me if you need/want to talk, anytime. My God lift you up and hold you close. My love to you all. God Bless You.

Mike, Lisa, Kami, and Adele: I was so saddened to hear about Beau's passing. Although I have not been part of your family for quite some time now, I have always had that place in my heart for your family. I feel honored to have been able to watch Beau grow up for the time I was around. My thoughts are with you.

Beau was our nephew and remembered as a precious child. Although I did not get to know him as an adult I know we would have been friends because he had such good values.

The cutest story I remember about Beau was the time I visited his family at Halloween and being a bit unconscious,I thought he would think a scarey mask was funny. Wrong--I scared him so much that he came to identify me as the aunt that brought that awful mask. Remember,Lisa and Mike? I know Kami does.

His view is clear now and he must see beyond all our masks to Life more beautiful.

Blessings to you,Beau,your wife and family. You are missed already.

I love you. Aunt Jan

Dearest Mike and Lisa,

My heart is broken for you. I've spent a lot of time the past several days going over my many, many wonderful memories of Beau. I thought back to the very first time I met you both. I had gone to watch Beau play baseball. I was sitting in front of you, and I remember turning around and saying that I just had to compliment you on your son! I remember telling you that he was about the neatest kid I had ever met! And ofcourse, he proved me right. He had such an impact on me and my entire family. I loved Beau dearly and will keep him close to my heart. Please know that you, Kami and Adele will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,

Bev Scecina

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
