Jordan was diagnosed on Jan. 10, 2008, after five long weeks with an unknown, untreated, life-threatening illness, which turned out to be metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (mets ARMS).
Bonnie
Hello, I am Bonnie, mom of Jordan, who was born 3/16/82. Thank you for your visit, and please drop in again and again.
Jordan
Until 12/07, Brianna and I were living and working in China, with big plans for the future, when wham! out of nowhere, everything changed. My job now is to rub out rhabdo. Many thanks to all who are in the trenches with me.
Brianna
Hi, my name is Zhou Xui Qiong, but most people call me Brianna. Jordan and I were married in China, 9/19/06. We welcome you to our site.

Yes these are tender pictures and we do love you all especailly at this tender time our thoughts and prayers are with you all. From the sultry new mother, holding her precious bundle to the sweet mischievous little guy that might be a little precocious and those wonderful little men, with their baby brother! Thank for that tender walk down memory lane!!
What wonderful pictures! Mrs. Stampfly,(retired now) Jordan's 4th grade teacher was in the school today as we were preparing the class pictures for mailing. She remembers Jordan's shy smile, but definitely a boy who could hold his own-which of course was necessary with 4 older brothers! We pray Jordan is having a comfortable day. Louise
Thank you Bonnie and Brianne for the pictures of young Jordan, or should I say younger Jordan. I felt the rush of emotion and memories as I looked at each one. It seems like the past only leaves us with memories. I feel myself wishng I had more memories with Jordan. I asked my now retired Father-in-law what he wishes he would have done differently when he was my age to prepare for his retirement. He simply told me he wishes he would have spent more time with his family. That was not the answer I expected. I love the time I am spending with you all in Idaho and in future I will have those memories to cherish. Love you all,
Kimball
Thank you for sharing these. I love them. Prayers are constantly with you all.

Beautiful pictures. So little time and they're grown and headed into the big, wide, unpredictable future. What a lovely photo of you, Bonnie, with baby Jordan. Jordan's big eyes are so appealing. I love your beautiful dark hair almost as much as I love your silver.
The bitter sweet time that is passing now will hold its own precious memories as time unfolds.
Prayers for you all - - - Jordan, Brianna, and Bonnie. And the rest of the family who are traveling this road with you.
Love
Michaela
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your memory walk... We are here ready to hold a hand and offer prayers... we are asking Father to lift your hearts to His bosom. ~ PA
What a nice peek into the past. It always interests me to see how the children and we grow and change yet still keep our defining characteristics like the contented smiles and big bright eyes. As ever we continue to keep all of you in our prayers.
Love, Becky and Ray
Thanks for posting those adorable pictures! Such cute boys who turned into such handsome young men! I only wish I lived closer to family so that I could really get to know my cousins , aunts and uncles. At least we have the internet huh?
I have enjoyed getting to know Jordan through this blog and that funny questionare, his answers really do remind me of my Dad!
Jordan is in my prayers constantly, as all are you. I hope he knows how much love is pouring out for him and how many people are thinking of him and his young beautiful wife.
I'm guessing that love never has been so tender as it is now in your lives. Bless you all.
Thanks for those pics. I remember well getting ready for church and getting Jordan dressed up in his sailor suit. I think Neil always was jelous that Jordan was the one that got the sailor suit and not him.
When Jordan was about that age us older 4 brothers thought it was fun to get Jordan to do tricks for us and I can remember Grandma telling us to stop making him perform because we were "going to turn him into a little monkey."
What darling pictures. It is always fun to have a glimpse at the past. Erin sure enjoyed looking at them. Our prayers are with you.

These photos and memories are precious and I am happy to be able to have had some small part in seeing them.
We love you all and are hearts are with you, and especially Brianna, for her determination and never failing support. We hope that you will all have a blanket of comfort fall upon you and that you all may feel the Lord's arms around you.
It is always a precious time when the Lord blesses us with "tender mercies". May your futures be full of them.
Love, Lisa
Sweet pictures of a beautiful boy and family! -Barb
