Celebrated Thanksgiving with Janay and Josiah, the nephew you never met. As usual, at some point I mistakenly say Jordan instead of Josiah. I am always thinking of you, wondering what happened and why you left us so suddenly. But through the grace of God, I will see you again, where all will be well. Love and miss you Jordan. Mom

Sitting her Saturday after Thanksgiving with Janay. Decided to Google your name as I often do. Found your Twitter page which I had not seen before. Said you tweeted 12.2K times. The last one was Oct 26, 2012. You tweets were funny and some were hard to understand, requiring translation (Janay helped). You seemed ok. I wish I knew what happened to change everything. Miss you more than words can ever say. Only God knows. #loveyouforever.

You will always be a part of me. Love you forever, until one sweet day we meet again in Heaven.

I went to high school with Jordan in Warrensburg . I was also his boss at DQ .. I was also his friend . Jordan , Mike , Josh and I were inseparable . Where you found one of us , you would more than likely find the rest . He shared his smile every day . His laugh , his jokes . He blessed us all . We would all chill at my apartment so much . Made so many memories . And his dancing though ... (: his little dances to any song made us laugh and made those memories for us . He would always tell me, 'Sammy Jo ! SMILE !' And I did , every time . HE may be blessed for so many people caring , but WE are blessed so much more for simply knowing him . We are blessed to get to see his smile . I only saw it for a few years , but this world was blessed for 22 years ... and now blessed with our memories . I love you Jordan . And I miss you forever .

You have my deepest sympathy and I hope you will ask the one who has everything in his hand, God to help you and give you strength; whatever you need he has it all including his new angel; your son.
God Bless you and your family

To Kim/family
I was blessed to meet Jordan, as everyone has said his personality was unparallel. He was cool and smart, very respectful and one you would love to be around.
Rip Jordan, it is a blessing to know you are with God and can see Jesus face to face!!!!!!!!

What can a person do in a moment like this but hush and cry and pray. Banetta and I met Jordan when he was a just baby boy and we were delighted. He has the look of Harold while Janay appears in the image of her mother. All I can say is that time will heal and, with the guidance of our lord, every day may you find more strength to carry on. Take care as we all miss Jordan and will cherish those memories.

Jordon I never had a chance to meet you but I have known your wonderful and loving mother for many years. I will continue to pray that God will give her the peace and courage to understand that GOD needed you with his Angels. Kim as a mother my heart is heavy and when I think of you my eyes fill with tears.....know you and your family are in my heart and prays everyday

Kim may you find comfort through Christ and through the fond memories you've shared with your son. I too have never met your son but it has to be extremely hard on any mother to loose her son and especially young. I have a son too and am going through a trying time with him. Please know my heart and prayers go out to you and your family at your time of sorrow. But trust and know God will heal your aching heart in time. Stay prayerful and strong - Bendetta Benjamin (Ben)

Jordan, I never had the pleasure of meeting you and knowing you, but I know your mom and I know how proud she is still of you and how much she misses you. You were her little boy and always will be. You are her angel now. My heart aches for her but she has so much support to help her with these dark times. I know she is looking forward to the day she will see you in Heaven.

Mommy

February 23, 2013

Jordan, my baby boy, my heart, I love you more than words can ever say. You were the most lovable and huggable baby. I remember when others wanted to hold you, I always couldn't wait to get you back in my arms. You were the sweetest little boy any mother could ask for, always jumping up on my lap, giving me hugs for no reason at all. I'll never forget you, your smile, and the young man you grew to be. So handsome, self assured, talented, smart and still lovable. My heart will always ache for you, and for what pained you. God had another plan for his beautiful child that he gifted to me. Since the day you came into my life, it has never been the same, and since the day you left this earth, I will never be the same. I know I will see you again in heaven my precious son. You are safe in my heart, my heart will go on.

We all have witnessed the Power of Prayer at some point in our lives or the lives of others. Today is No Different! God Is and Will Forever be in Control, and He gave all of us Dominion. So Prayer With Me: God Bless and Favor Us With Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding with the Patience to Endure and Overcoming Every Obstacle set before us, Surround Us in Your Hedge of Protection and Never letting Any weapon formed before us ever prosper. Your Power and Spirit within us is "Indescribable" So we fear Nothing! Because Thy Rod and Thy Staff Comfort and Defend Us. This Time is No Different because You Are Still The Same Living God Yesterday Today And Forever! So My Faith. I Surrender It All To You And Truly Trust in Thy. Now I Know You Have Already Remedied Every Circumstance And I Will Praise Your Holy Name and Give You All Of The Glory! Amen.

My heart really aches today. There is a deep pain in my soul when I think of you three beautiful young ladies, how smart, caring and loving you all are. And I know that even if a small portion of those caring hearts were passed down to Jordan that he possessed more love and compassion than most ever will. So when I hugged my son's today, I held them a little closer a little longer because I know that as hard as I try, I cannot protect them from everything…but I can love them forever! My heart really aches today…
