Jordan was not only extremely intelligent and beautiful, but she was also extremely thoughtful of other people and their feelings. She was always there to help. She was a firm believer of paying it forward- often paying for the tab of the person behind her in the Starbucks drive-thru. She was the sweetest, kindest and most loving person. She loved seeing her friends and hated seeing them leave. (Jordan was known to cry when her dad would get rid of his old lawn mower. ) She was daddy's buddy, her brother's role model and her mother's best friend. Her beautiful smile was infectious!
