Well my love - The first anniversary of your death is less than three weeks away now... It seems like a lifetime without you, while at the same time, it also feels like you were here just yesterday. So many things have happened these last 12 months, and I want you to know that we have all had you in mind. I miss you terribly, it's hard to even comprehend words that could fully express a feeling such as the one you have left behind. Christmas is almost here and we won't be having it at your house. Your house isn't even there anymore. Everything is such a reminder that you're gone and it's all so sad. I have so much to say, so much to tell you, and I just can't even find the words. It still hurts everyday Jordy, I hope you are there with me when times are the hardest, to give me a little extra strength, you were always so good when it came to that.
As I go, I leave you with these lyrics. We knew what they meant to you, and now you know how very much they mean to us too...
"None of us have actually been there, not like you.
None of them can even hold a candle up to you.
Who could deny,
You were the one who illuminated
Your little piece of the divine.
This little light of mine,
A gift you passed on to me
I'm gonna let it shine...
To guide you safely on your way,
Your way home.
You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fist at the gates saying
"I've come home now!
Fetch me the spirit,
The son,
And the father -
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
It's time now,
My time now,
Give me my,
Give me my wings!" "
This on is for you Jordan Michael Assael. I will love you forever, and miss you always my dear. In my heart I know you have been given your wings!
Love, Nelly

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.”

Happy Birthday Jordy

Where do I begin... Today is your birthday, one of many days we dedicate to you my dear. I don't know if your birthday matters where ever you are now, but it still means a lot to us here without you. This will be the first of many birthdays we will sit back in our chairs thinking about so many memories with you Jordan. I still can't believe the chance to make more has been stolen from us. You have been stolen from us, but I still wish you could be here, just for this one day... I love you so much!

Oh Jordy, if you only knew the tears I have cried for you. Every hour I think of one "last" thing I need to tell you or show you. There's so many things you've missed already, and so many more to come - I can't wrap my brain around any of it. I miss you so much it's... painful. Life just isn't the same anymore.

What a shock. I met Jordan about 10 years ago during a jam session in Queens, New York. What a terrific and talented young man. I was taken by how close he was with his dad, Mitchell. My prayers are with your family. I am truly sorry for your loss.

My beautiful Jordan, I don't know where to begin, I'm crying my eyes out over you, I don't want you to be gone and no one, trust me no one loved you more then me and I will forever me sad. I remember everything about you, you were my first born child and you were a king to me, you were everything to me and all I wanted to do was show you off to everybody and always make you happy. Watching you grow in my stomach to a beautiful 26 year old man was my honor. I smell your clothes now and stare at your pictures and everyone tells me you will live on in my heart and you will, but that is just not enough. I can't believe you will never come through my front door again, we will never spend birthdays or holidays or family dinners or any occassion ever again. Everyone misses you, there was standing room only at your funeral. your friends and family all loved you from the deepest part of their hearts. This is so hard for Dad to, it breaks my heart to see him cry and we both long for you and want you back. I know you are with Jesus now and your grandparents, please be there when I pass from this life. I miss you so much my baby. I don't know what else to say yet I could go on forever about you and how much I will always love you, I just cant believe I will never see you again in this life, but I will remember you everyday for the rest of my life. Missing you is the worse pain ever. Please help all your wonderful friends and family come to terms with this because for now our hearts are broken like never before.
Forever your Mom

Debbie:
We now share something that neither of us expected, the loss of a son.
Nothing will ever replace the place they held in our hearts or our lives but with time they are beautiful memories. A good friend told me that "Dana will remain forever young". Now, Jordan will as well.

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."
So many we have, all of us, and we have you to thank for that and so much more.
With so much still, that's left unsaid... it's hard to fight the tears.
I hope to see you in my dreams... so we can talk for years.
I Love you, I miss you so much already it's unbearable.

Jordan,
I remember everything about you,
your voice, your smile, your touch,
the way you walked, the way you talked,the way you looked at me, meant so much.
I remember all the words you said to me,some funny, some kind, some wise,
all of the things you did for me,
I see now with different eyes.
I remember every moment we shared,
seems like only yesterday,
or maybe it was eons ago,
It's really hard to say.
You are gone from me now,
but one thing they can't take away,
your memory resides inside my heart,
and lights up my darkest days.

Jordan,
You were a one of the most generous and caring people I have ever met. You motivated me when I was at my lowest, and taught me to break out of my shell. Looking back I realize just how much time we spent together and how there were literally no bad times. You were more than a friend to me. You were my brother, and it is an honor to have known you. Ill miss you bro...

Jordan,
I didn't know you but my daughter Casey and her friend Adam spoke volumes on the wonderful person that you have always been. My heart goes out to the family. You will live in the hearts, souls, and minds of numerous people. God Bless you.

Jordan,
You were always a sense of strength when I was weak.
Even the face of pain or discomfort would be transformed by positive energy and perseverance. Like Peace in chaos, a character like yours isn't easy to describe let alone find. To the most eclectically unique and lovable person! A GREAT friend to many. A delightful son, beloved brother and nephew. You will be missed by many. I love you brother!

To my dearest Jordan -
These are my last words of love and thanks that I was blessed with knowing such a wonderful person, along with the greatest friend anyone could ask for. You were the one everyone turned to for a laugh, a friend, a shoulder to cry on. You were the glue that held us all together, and the reason we all even know each other. We spoke last night about trying to keep up the holiday traditions in your memory, but I know it'll be so hard - it will never be the same with you not there. Where will have Christmas? How are we supposed to do it like this??
No one, I mean not a single person walking this earth knows more about me than you do, I still can't believe it as I'm saying the words. I cherish every memory we have had together.
I love you with my entire being and I hope you please give me the strength to deal with your terrible and absolutely crippling loss.
I would never imagine the day would come when I would never see you again, and I just don't know how to live with you not here. I don't believe it can get any worse. Jordy please, know how much I miss you, the days will never be the same again without you. I love you to the moon and back.
Your one and only - Nelly ???

Jordan,
I will always have a memory of Danielle, you and Laura sitting on my porch, laughing and bonding the way very close friends do. Inside jokes that only the three of you would understand.
