REMEMBERING JORDAN ALWAYS** / CATHY GIRAUD (MOM TO DAVID )
Dear Gayle,
I just wanted to stop by and let you know that you are in my prayers today and everyday!! Remembering your precious Jordan, on his Birthday! I am praying for you, for you to get healing. 1 Peter 2:24 " Who(Jesus Christ) his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." Love, Hugs, and prayers!!

Happy Birthday Jordan!!! / Michael McQueen (cousin)
This is my first time actaully visiting your site, i dont know why, i guess it's just easier for me. outta sight, outta mind ya know. I havent even been to my mother's grave since she died. I dont think i've visited anyone's grave after they passed on. And it's not that i am trying to forget any of you, i'm just trying to forget the pain. I do miss you though jordan. I remember one of the last times we hung out together and we were down the knights having a few beers and you said to me "mike, thanks for letting me hang out wit you guys and be a part of the crew, even though i was a lil younger", and i said to you that it wasn't no big thing, that i didnt let you be a part of, that you just were a part of. That i liked having you around and so did everyone else. You were a crazy kid and i was more than happy to have you around, i was honored even. you were not only my friend, you were my family and i knew that no matter what happened you would be there for me. I wish you were still here to grow and get old with us. I just had a daughter, Saige Maryann... named her after my mom. She's so beautiful jordan, you should see her. She is the one thing in this world that actually makes me truly happy. Waking up in the morning and seeing this little girl look at me and smile, it's a feeling like no other. She's 5 months now and its been so cool just watchin her grow and learn new things everyday. Other than that i'm sure your looking down on me and you can see whats been goin on in my life and what i've been goin through but, i'll be ok cause i know that i got you, my mom, and nana watching over me. Well i gotta go to bed jordy but, happy birthday buddy and sorry if i dont always show that i am missing you guys it's just easier for me to keep it to myself. i love you and miss you so much take care of my mom up there.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON!!! / MOM GOOD NIGHT SWEETIE, TOUGH DAY TODAY. SO HARD WITHOUT YOU. EVERYONE THINKS IT GETS EASIER. THAT'S NOT TRUE, IT'S GETTING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT. EACH BIRTHDAY AND ANNIVERSARY MY HEART BREAKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS. GRANTED, THERE ARE MANY DAYS THAT I DEAL WITH THIS VERY WELL, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY DAYS I DON'T WANT TO GO ON. I'M SO TIRED OF THIS HEARTACHE. I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HERE, BUT MY HEART HURTS SO BAD. I FEEL SO EMPTY INSIDE RIGHT NOW. VERY FEW PEOPLE EVEN REMEMBER YOUR BIRTHDAY ANYMORE. THEY DON'T CALL OR LIGHT CANDLES. IT'S OVER FOR THEM. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE FEW FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO DO REMEMBER YOU AND HAVE KEPT YOUR MEMORY AND SPIRIT ALIVE. THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT HELPS TO EASE MY PAIN. IT'S SO LITTLE, YET ENERMOUS AT THE SAME TIME. I SPENT MOST OF THE DAY AWAY FROM THE HOUSE, IT HELPED SOME. WE HAD A CAKE FOR YOU AS WE DO EVERY YEAR. YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE MISSING. I WILL FOREVER HAVE A PIECE OF MY HEART MISSING. ONE DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN, MAYBE SOONER THAN ANYONE KNOWS. UNTIL THEN KNOW I LOVE YOU AS DEEPLY TODAY AS I DID THE DAY YOU LEFT ME. YOU ARE AND WILL FOREVER BE MY PRECIOUS BABY BOY. STAY BY MY SIDE THROUGH THIS TOUGH BATTLE I AM GOING THROUGH. KNOWING YOU ARE NEAR HELPS A GREAT DEAL. HUGS AND KISSES FROM MOM. XOXOXOXO

DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD / MOM
GOOD MORNING SON, THINGS ARE SO DIFFICULT RIGHT NOW. I MISS YOU AND NANA SO MUCH. I WISH YOU WERE BOTH HERE TO HELP ME THROUGH THIS CRISIS. AS MUCH AS I WANT TO BE WITH BOTH OF YOU, I'M NEEDED HERE SO MUCH MORE. SHAENA AND THE GIRLS WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT ME. I'M VERY SCARED RIGHT NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS CRISIS IS HEADING. I HAD MY SECOND TREATMENT, SEEMS TO BE GOING WELL. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL ANYWAY. I'M STARTING TO FEEL MORE TIRED AND SICK. THE FAMILY HAS BEEN WONDERFUL THROUGH IT ALL. BUT IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE THE SADNESS IN THEIR EYES WHEN THEY LOOK AT ME. I KNOW THEY'RE TRYING BUT IT'S VERY HARD FOR ME TO WATCH. I'M TRYING TO KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE THROUGH IT ALL. I PLAN ON BEING HERE FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. I MISS YOU BOTH SO MUCH. NANA ALWAYS KNEW JUST WHAT TO SAY TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD HAVE SURVIVED YOUR LOSS WITHOUT HER. WELL, I'M VERY TIRED NOW, I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER. LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER, MOM

to jordan / Scott (cousin) hey i just lit a candle for you but couldnt write to much there. i just wanna let you know that life isnt the saem without you. i miss you more and more as time goes on some days more than others. i often wonder what life would be like if you were still here now that were older and most times wish that your were too, so i can have someone to talk to about stuff only me and you did. you were real good to me at times i would of consider you as an older brother too and you know the reasons why.
so much have changed since you have passed but i know you and me would still be good friends no matter what. cause we have been through so much together. i miss all the suff we used to do i think about them and laugh alot and tell alot of our storys to derrick, matty and jeff to keep your spirt alive. like when we were younger and you bought a knife from downtown and touched to see how sharp it was and slit your finger than told shaena that me and you were playing ungard with broken bottles so noone would take your knife away. i couldnt keep a straight face when you told her. you lawyas had me laughing and i miss that.
well i gotta go it getting late and i have long day tomorow. take care and watch over your family i love you all goodnight.
p.s. ill have adrink for you tongiht
Sorry/ Melissa McQueen (Cousin) Hey there love Sorry its been a while since I have been on. But know that I still love you and miss you the same. I can't believe it has been so long. Nothing is the same anymore with you and nana gone its kinda weird to do anything you know. But one day we will be together as a whole again. Auntie I can only imagine how hard it is for you to have to deal with Jordan and Nana being gone but be strong and everything will be ok. With your illness be strong like you said and everything will be alright. I love you Auntie, Jordan and nana too.
prayers/ Theresa Vollemans (cousin)
Hi Jordan,
Sorry I have not lit any candles lately, my computer broke down.
I finally bought a new one. I just heard about your mom, and I wanted to ask you to watch over her, and also ask Nana to pray for her. I know that you are always with her, but maybe you could come into her dreams and let her know that she will be ok!
Gayle, we are all praying for you, and we also know how strong you are. If there is anything that I can do for you please don't hesitate to call me.
Cousin Janet told me about your cancer, it is really a blessing to have such good cousins, even though we don't see each other that often it's good to know that we all would have each others back when needed.
I know that you are going to fight this cancer, because you have two little angels right here on earth to live for, and also you have two angels in heaven who will also be helping you to fight this cancer.
All Our Love and prayers are being sent to you,
Love,
cousin Theresa, Jennifer, & Moe
Our Prayer / Pat Mom To ^j^ Sandra Oshunkentan (^j^ friend )
WE GIVE THEM back to you, dear Lord, who gave them to us. Yet as you do not lose them in giving, so we have not lost them by their return. Not as the world gives do you give, O Lover of souls. What you gave you do not take away; for what is ours is ours always, if we are yours. And life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only an horizon, and an horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight. Lift us, strong Son of God, that we may see farther. Cleanse our eyes that we may see more clearly. Draw us closer to yourself that we may know ourselves nearer to them. And while you are preparing a place for us, prepare us for that happy place, that where they are and you are, we too may be; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
A great book to read is: Love Never Dies by Sandy Goodman, it's a true story of her grief since loosing her son at 18 yrs. x
THERE IS AN ANGEL IN THE SKY / Pat Mom To ^j^ Sandra Oshunkentan (^j^ Friend ) There is an angel in the sky, I sure do wonder why, Probably cause someone died.
Then more angels start to follow, They know someone’s heart is hollow.
The angels are all flying around one house, Everything as silent as a mouse.
While everyone is sleeping, The lady in the house is weeping.
An angel travels up to her ear, And whispers softly I am here.
This was written for me two days after Sandi went home. The poem is from an 11 year old in my Sunday School class. This truly touched my heart. I hope it touches yours too. God Bless.
