My condolences to all of you who knew and loved Jordan. I look through this website and still cannot comprehend life and the way it works. I did not know Jordan that well (through my brother Peter) but every time I saw Jordan he had a smile on his face and a warm glow that surrounded him. It's never easy to loose someone you love and I know this has been especially hard on my brother Peter. I thank God for the gift Jordan has left for my family. My brother. He taught him things we could not- to live, love and laugh... sober. He gave my brother the gift of life again 4 1/2 years ago. Jordan thank you for giving my brother the gift of life, I wish you could be here to share it with him now.I have this poem on my fridge in memory of my brother-in-law (age 35) we lost on 9/11. This poem reminds me of Joran also. I'm FreeDon't grieve for me, for now I'm free,I am following the path God has laid you see. I took his hand when I heard him call.I turned my back and left it all.I could not stay another day,To laugh, to love, to work, to play.Tasks left undone must stay that way.I found that peace at the close of the day.If my parting has left a void,then fill it up with remembered joys.A friendship shared, a laugh, a kissOh yes, these things I too will miss.Be not burdened with times of sorrow.I wish you the sunshine fo tomorrow.My life's been full, I savored much.Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.Perhaps my time seemed all to brief. Don't lengthen it now with undo grief.Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.God wanted me now; he set me free!
