Jordan was such a free spirit! Jim and I were talking last night about the "gum incident" that happened when we were staying at your house. Had me in tears from laughter and sadness. Felicia, Larry, and Lawson, you are all in our hearts and we are so sorry for your sorrow. Jordan holds a special place in our hearts and forever will.
