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.

Your thoughtfulness in trying so hard to contact Phoenix before we read it in the paper means so much to Phoenix and I. It was a beautiful service. Life is so hard at times, but your grace and kindness means so much to me. I hope we remain friends forever. I will keep in touch with you. Everything that was said about Jordan is so true. Our Special children have that charm about them, I pray for your piece of mind, and I know ,you know that Jordan is in a better place.

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.

Dear Price family,

We are so sad that we will not be able to be there to honor sweet Jordan in person. We loved her and are happy that she has left the physical hardships she dealt with all of her life.
How happy we are that she found her wonderful husband and such happiness in her all too short years. We are so grateful for Jordan's life. We are also grateful for the atonement, and the plan of salvation, for what it means to Jordan as well as all of us.

As one of Jordan's young woman leaders she never complained, and wanted to do everything she could. Her sweet and gentle spirit touched the hearts of her leaders as well as the young women. She was an inspiration to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.
