Mary,
I am so sorry to hear about Jordan. I will never forget his laughter when we got silly during spa day at Enger. Your devotion knows no bounds, that is why I wanted to equal it in my classroom.

Mary and Family-
We are very sorry for your loss. We can not imagine the pain you must be feeling at this time, he was such a big part of you. You are one of the strongest woman I know and I believe you have earned your wings throughout his life. Just remember he is with your Mom and his Father now and no longer in pain.
God Bless You! Sheri Mordini and family
