Brandy, Billy, Shane- Your mom is an awesome lady that we all can remember one thing she was never a lady to hide her opinions and give great advice when you did ask for it. Be thankful and cherish all the time you got to share with her. Im honored to know such a great lady. shared the last 8 years with her and always looked up to her as a mother figure. She could always put a smile on your face when times were tuff. You all have an awesome angel watching over you. Take Care

It is always hard to loss those that we hold so dear and I hope all of you know my heart hurts for you. I have never lost anyone so close to me so I will not even say I understand.
I would like to remind you all, that you have not been left behind. She lays in the hands of god now and with this brings a power to be passed unto each you.
The main thing I remember about your mom was no matter if it was right or wrong, she loved to watch you all fly and was angry at those that would make you cry! I feel in my heart that the passing on is a good thing and it is those that are left behind that needs support. Some time’s I don’t say the right things, but I felt I needed to write something, plus because Brandy gave me a hard time. So here is a little note to all. I love you as if you were my family and I hope a little peace will come to you with these words.
When your emotions are running away with you and life seems so unfair,
feel her hand upon you as you bow your head to pray.
Peace will overcome you, when you realize she’s not gone.
With her hand upon your heart and the wind beneath your wing,
strength will start to cultivate, as her sprit start to sing.
Embrace the essence of the wind as she whispers her tune,
She remains down deep inside you, as your faith will start to bloom.
As you watch this new door open, the truth is plan to see,
it’s time for you to soar dear child your mother is set free.
Now Mistake’s are bound to happen,
yes we know this to be true, but remember she’s still watching,
and she won’t be all that blue.
She holds her sense of humor and she will grin that little grin,
She will point down from heaven and say
NOW DON”T DO THAT AGAIN.
I love you Guy’s!!!! I pray peace will come too soon. Kathy

My Sister Joyce
I will always keep good memories close in my heart. God took our Father and now you Sister. My heart aches ever so bad. We are never suppose to question God, as he has a reason for doing so. I know you are at peace now, no more pain or suffering. You are in a far better place then we are, and one day we will all be reunited. I wish the miles apart had not been so far, so I could have visited my family when I wanted to. Pam is the strong one in our family and I thank God for that. She will help Brandy and the kids to get through whatever lies ahead, I wish that I could be there to help her. I Love You Joyce more then you ever knew. My prayers are with my family.
Sister Sandy

My mother was rudys cousin her name was rebekah Jordan my mother to passed away aug 8 2005. Brandy My mother was my best friend my world, I thought there could not be life after she was gone, But with time my heart began to heal but will never forget the pain of loosing the mother the best of friend i would ever had, I still think to my self what am i going to do with my time my free time she was my time my free time, but then i think to my self she wanted me to give the love and the memories to my children like she gave me. that is what gets me through the days that are so dark and sad for me. so hang in there kid and if you ever need to just talk we are family call me girl.
