I know of a poem that I hope may bring a little bit of comfort:





I give you this

one thought to keep -

I am with you still,

I do not sleep.



I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glint on snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.



When you awaken

in morning's hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circled flight,

I am the soft stars

that shine at night.



Do not think of me as gone

I am will you still,

in each new dawn.

We were very sad to hear of Jordie's passing. My daughter Jennifer rode the bus with Jordie to school. She will miss him riding next to her. Our deepest sympathy to his family.

I was very sorry to hear of Jordan's passing.I worked occasionally with his mom at a special needs society back in the 1990's,and was fortunate to spend time with Jordan. He was a real gift

to anyone who knew him.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Jordie's passing. I've been praying for him for a long time, hoping he would get better. I sent a stuffed animal to a friend, hoping it might get to him and make him feel a little better. I'm sorry it didn't make it in time. I wish I knew how to help in this time of pain.
