Larry, Diane and family,
Melanie sent us an e-mail letting us know about the loss of Jordan. I remember when Jordan was born Bob, I, Amy and Melanie prayed that she would live. And what a full and exemplary life she did live.
We are in Madrid serving a mission for 15 more months. We hope you will feel the comforting love of our Savior Jesus Christ and send ours as well.

Larry, Diane, and family,
We are all left saddened by and feel deep sorrow for the loss of such a sweet, energetic, and wonderful young lady from our lives. Her smiling and happy disposition in the face of un-imaginable obstacles and hardships will continue to be an inspiration to all of us who knew her. She was certainly a very blessed Spirit of our Heavenly Father's family, one that refused to accept failure or to turn away from challenges. She did as her Heavenly Father asks of all of us and endured to the end and did so with a smile and with love for all she came in contact with. We will all miss her tremendously and hope that each of you know of our love for you and the sorrow we share you in her passing.

I just want to tell the family and husband what a sweetheart Jordan was. I knew her since elementary school and remember her sweet smile and positive outlook on things and life. I know it wasn't always easy for her most times but she always seemed to have a smile on her face and she was always thinking of others. Even though it has been about 5 years since I have seen or spoke with Jordan, she had an impact on my life all through our school days. I hope the family will remember she is happier now with our Heavenly Father and is free from the trials and pains of this world.
