Jordan Family, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of this sweet soul! I am very thankful for the fact that we know where she is today and one day will be reunited. I know she is singing in the heavenly choir and smiling that wonderful, warm and loving smile she had. You all will be lifted in prayers and surrounded by folks that love you. May you feel the peace of God and the comfort from our Heavenly Father.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am having a hard time finding my words because this hits home so hard for me. Your family growing up was my family – It was like that with all of us neighborhood kids. The only thing that I can offer to say at this point is that there is NO more pain for your sweet Mama and you have to keep that in mind…. I will be saying many heartfelt prayers for you guys. Just remember Psalm 3418 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Sending much love your way.
