Jordan came into my life when I was mourning the death of my beloved brother in law. Our family had fought a long hard battle, but cancer took the victory on this Earth. Thankfully, the true victory was ours in Heaven. God has promised us this. Jordan is the light that we all fail to see each and every day. It's always there, but we are too preoccupied to notice. Jordan makes us notice. She truly proved to be the single most uplifting and miraculous person I have been graced with the privilege to know. I taught Jordan during her 6th-grade year, and she never failed to amaze me with her beauty, grace, and determination--even in the face of tremendous physical and spiritual challenges. My prayer is that we all remember Jordan as the miracle that God placed before our eyes, and that we each take from this miracle what is best for us. I pray for you, Mr. and Mrs. DuPriest, as you make your way through this time of grief. I hope that you will take comfort in those around you, and in the knowledge that your beautiful angel changed us all. Miracles do, indeed, happen every day. I know one named Jordan.
My most sincere love and prayers,
Marcella Foster
My heart goes out to the DuPriest Family. Children are such a blessing and I know you charish Jordan each and every day. I know she is looking down from heaven sending you love and peace during this difficult time. She has her wings now and is flying high and free of pain. Soar Jordan....Soar. May the peace of the Lord help those you left behind.
My deepest sympathy to the DuPriest family. I had the opportunity to work with Kim for many years and remember when Jordan was born. She was a very brave young lady and had so much to offer. It is so sad her life was cut short. I know there is a very special place for her in heaven and will watch over the all the children in the world.

Kim, Jay and Cody,
I remember when Kim was pregnant with Jordan, from the beginning you both were so protective of that precious little girl. It was an honor to have known such a wonderful, smart little girl. My heart goes out to you all. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,

Dear DuPriest family,
My name is Julia Hollandsworth, and I was one of Jordan's classmates at SMS. We both were in Civics class with Mr. Grau. Although Jordan was not in class much, we became really good friends. We became close when I had suffered a concussion, and was unable to be in loud classrooms. So, I spent many days in guidance doing work. This is where Jordan and I really got to bond and spend time together since she was there often too. I was so thankful to be able to share that time with her and have a companion during that time. She was such an open hearted person, and shared her story with me. I will always carry my time spent with her in my heart. I am so sorry for your loss, and I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
