My friend was killed yesterday

I knew I'd be reminded of Jordan especially since the movie deals with death, but one scene really stood out and I got a little choked up.

Aw! Thanks Amy.

A few of our friends costumed a good part of the day at the theater, but Andy and I just weren't up for it.

Some of our friends made yesterday's Detroit Freepress front page.

Kimmy, I'm so sorry about your friend, Jordan.

I'm so sorry hear about your friend

Very sorry to hear about your friend, Kimmy. Sadly, I've been through something similar so I know exactly what you're feeling - if you ever need to talk/vent, please feel free to PM me. I know all too well exactly what you're going through.

It really is such a horrible waste and I hope the other driver is held responsible.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Kimmy, what a tragedy. I can't imagine the loss you are feeling right now. {{hugs}}

So sorry to hear about your friend Jordan, I recently lost a good friend of mine also. You, his family and all his friends will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh sweety {{Hugs}}, what a shocking thing to happen. Thoughts and prayers on the way for all family and friends. I am speachless.

Kimmy I'm so sorry. I'm just now seeing this but you and Jordons friends and family are in my prayers. What a horrible tragic thing to have to experience.

Such an awful thing to happen.

My heart goes out to you both and Jordans family.

Thank you, everyone.

The weekend was ...rough.

Jordan's parents are Jehovah Witnesses, though Jordan stepped away from that path years ago. A service was held at their church and there was no body... no urn. (Later found out that Jordan had wished to be cremated) They talked only a little about Jordan and then it turned into a scripture lesson. Many had nothing to do about death.

The service was emotionally void. I know funerals are for the living and I'm sure it was Jordan's parents needed, but I didn't get that closure. I didn't get to say goodbye to my friend. It still doesn't feel real. I expect him to call or email me at any time.

His parents are very nice people. I had to choke back tears when Jordan's dad told Andy and I how fondly Jordan talked of us.

Oh Kimmy, I'm so sorry.

It is so hard when such young life is taken so tragically. I hope you can find closure in your own way since the service didn't seem to help any. Perhaps a little memorial service the next time you and your friends gather would help a bit.

RIP Jordan. For reasons we will never know or understand, you were needed and called away from your earthly life.

I'm so sorry for your loss

I know that there are no words to ease your pain but know that you are in my prayers!

I lost my best friend 7 seven years ago in a motorcycle wreck and I know that these times seem like they won't get better or the pain won't ease up but know that in time your pain will ease up and things will get better...You have alot of good memories of him to get you through this and memories that will never be taken by anyone....

Oh Kimmy.... I'm so sorry to hear about your dear frined, Jordan. That's so awful. What a horrible shame.

Why do people just have to suddenly die like this, because of stupid people???

I bet the lady feels pretty dowm in the dumps right now, Kimmy.

You and your family, and Jordans family will be in my prayers right now.

It's been 6 years since this happened and Jordan still comes to mind. It really does feel just like yesterday.

Sometime after the accident, I had a dream about Jordan. I was at a party hanging out with friends in the basement. I glance over at the stairs and was shocked to see Jordan coming down and heading my way. I stood in disbelief because I knew he had died. I'm embarressed that my first words were, "You can't be here!".

But he just smiled and laughed, gave me a huge hug and said, "It's all going to be okay." And I woke up.

Life of course has gone on. His best friend Jason had his first child and they named him Jordan. He's a cute little guy who just turned 2.

It especially feels bitter sweet this year as it's the last of the Harry Potter movies that he enjoyed so much. (Loved the books as well.) I will definitely raise a glass the day HP 7 part 2 opens.

I miss him so much.

I joined PT in 2008 so I'm just seeing this. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear friend. I think that dream was very spiritual and I'm sure he was there telling you it was all going to be ok...
