Missing you this evening. I was cooking dinner and randomly thought, "did Jordan cook?" Wish I could have known you long enough to know. I still have one of your paintings on my wall.
I still remember going skiing with you as a kid and Lauren and I made you sit in the middle seat in the car because we both wanted to sit next to you.

I think of you often and so miss the light you brought and the joy you shared with your family. You would be delighted by your grown cousins and their adorable children. May your soul be at peace.

My 12yo son Tyler asked about Jordan's painting that i have on the wall of my office last night and I told him about what a great friend Jordan was to me and that he had passed away. Tyler commented on how cool the painting is. I'm grateful for all of the time that I got to spend with Jordan and I still carry him with me every day. Steve

Hey Bud, driving through SF on a visit and remembering some times we had here together and ruminating on some of the negatives this city probably enabled. Wish we could hang...

We hosted thanksgiving this year. we celebrated with Jules, Adam and their two beautiful young daughters Noa and Lille Kathleen (who I think you would have lots of fun with), Caroline + Trav and their new baby daughter Romy Eve, and Aunt Trixie and Steve. I thought about the thanksgiving when you kept bumping elbows with Kyle because you are a leftie. Your absence is still felt strongly, Jordan. I miss you!

My college graduation from William & Mary is coming up and I so wish you could be here with us in May to celebrate. Kyle visited me last week at W&M and we shared a beautiful moment in which we talked about you: how cool you were, what a big goof you were, and how much we miss you. To echo Kyle, I hope you're out there watching and smiling (and laughing)! Miss you so much

Julia & I were in a supermarket near her home in Chicago when we both spotted a tall young man walking toward us. I said "he reminds me of Jordan" and Jules agreed. Later we found out he was a member of the Chicago Bulls! Miss you and love you always, Jordan.

HBD Cuz. Would have been 45!!! Lauren - after Jordan died my mom said "You'll see him sometimes... walking down the street, skateboarding, driving by in a car"... meaning you'll see someone who looks like him or reminds you of him or who's spirit is the same as Jordan's was... and it's true, I've seen and felt him and know that he is looking out for us all from a peaceful place. So too with your friend. XOXO.

last night, my roommate's best friend at college (William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA) died last night, and it was extremely out of the blue. Such sudden deaths like yours are so incredibly hard to deal with. It's especially hard to deal with a loss when you're at college; I'm missing my family so much right now and especially you. I remember my dad said fairly frequently during the time after your death that "Life is what happens to you when you're busy making plans." I often come back to this quote in times of confusion and desperation, such as now. I hope you're resting easy up there, big guy

Nowhere else to say this but here. Still miss you. The hottest summer ever was the one I visited you in Brooklyn and we stayed at your place on Metropolitan Ave. I'm so glad I had you in my life. Wish it could have been longer, like now when you're the only person I want to talk to. Everything is good I know you know but when you were just a phone call away it was better.

There are lots of moments and experiences I wish you could be here to share with me, big guy. Julia and Adam's new daughter, Kyle's trip to New Zealand, and my exciting freshman year of college stories. I miss your big smile, Jordan! And of course I miss admiring your tattoos and handsome freckles. Much love being sent your way from Virginia today

Hey Jordan, I've thinking on you a lot the past few weeks - at Julia's baby shower, when I go running and think about you skateboarding, feeling the sun on my face and the power in my legs, and in fleeting moments when something pops up and reminds me of you. Your birthday is coming up and I'll be missing you even more. I love you, bud. Always missing your goofy grin

Thinking of you over and over these last few days, Jordan. Wishing you had been allowed more time. Remembering your loving, playful ways. Happy for the opportunites to see you connect with our kids. Over the years since we lost you, I have felt your absence over and over again. That won't ever stop. Peace and love to you, Jordan

I always see the number 52 pop up, and my heart breaks a little bit for you. I wish you were here to swim in the pool with Kyle and I, and laugh with you and goof around. I'm heading off to college soon and I wish I could tell you all the things running through my head. I love you and miss you, J. Keep giving us strength!

I wish my friends could meet you, Jordan! I've told my best friends about you and your handsome smile, and how you never failed to make me laugh. I also wish you were here to hear my weird stories and exciting college news! You would have loved hearing Kyle and I attempt to harmonize: I sing and he plays guitar, and we make music sitting on the floor in the family room(: Hope you're doing well and continuing to give us all strength. Miss you, J.

It's that time of year again when you left us, Jordan. I miss and love you. xo ATHi Tom the storm was frightful at the Shore, there are a lot of people still displaced. Most of Bay Head was under 4 feet of water. I haven't been there since the storm. You remember my friend Alexa, her mom was still living in a house in Mantoloking right on the bay. She is staying with her other daughter now, I don't know if her house will be able to be repaired. Take care. Trix

I missed you at Thanksgiving this year, Jordan! I was remembering our last Thanksgiving together and how you sat at the end of the table, but you kept bumping elbows with Kyle because you are a leftie and he is a rightie. I also have been working on college applications, and one of my essays is about you! Keep shining down on us with that goofy turtle face of yours. xoxo

Deep breath. I'm so glad these pictures are here, but the ones of Jordan when he was little are impossible to look at without crying. I still miss him. I have a lot more to say so I'll come back. It kills me that Jordan will never meet my son who is wild like he was and smiles so much. Lauren, I love reading your comments and seeing how much you still care for Jordan's memory. I know he loved you all. Hope all is well with you Tom.

A senior from my high school passed away last week, and although I did not know him well, his death has greatly affected me. This time of mourning has brought back so many memories of you and surges of emotion. He was a varsity hockey player, and tonight I will be going to the first game since Justin Bailey's death. I'm wearing your Thrasher Magazine sweatshirt, and Julia reminded me that you gave it to her, and then to Trav, and then to me. Always in my heart, I love you."The reality is that we don't forget, move on, and have closure, but rather we honor, we remember, and incorporate those who are no longer with us, into our lives in a new way. In fact, keeping memories of your loved one alive in your mind and heart is an important part of your healing journey."

You are always always always in my heart. I miss your freckled skin and your intense eyes. I miss being crazy with you in our pool, with Big Purple Ball and your cracked ribs. I remember you couldn't laugh too hard, because it made your ribs hurt. I remember you playing insane games with me, where you would grab my ankle and NEVER let go. I wish we were back in those times again.I am forever changed by who you are and what you mean to me.
