Born 2nd February 1993
Died 25th September aged 9
Jordan is my little brother. He was always a lively little boy, just like any other 9 year old boy.
Always playing football and out with his friends. He was always on the go, always with holes in his
trousers from falling over and he ALWAYS had a smile on his face.
When he was 7, In October 2000 he started being sick and complaining of headaches. My mum and dad
took him to hospital and doctors loads of times and they said it wasnt anything to worry about, He
became more and more poorly, mum and dad took him back and the doctors didnt know what it was. he
had to stay in hospital a couple of times but they still didnt know what was wrong
It came to Feburary 2001 and he was diagnosed with a brain and spinal tumour at a different
hospital.
He started his treatment of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and he had about 8 operations, one was to
fit a shunt in his head to drain the fluid out of his brain and another was to fit a portercath in
his chest for his chemo.
He had a good life while he was here, he met all the leeds united players, He went to see nigel
martin and Alan Smith before a game and had a day out at thorpe Arch with david batty.
He went to Lapland with wish upon a star with some of the people out of emmerdale.
His biggest achievement was being made a honarary figher fighter for white watch, pontefract fire
station, where Andy, Dave, Pete, Colin, Barry and the rest of white watch made lots of his dreams
come true including riding in a fire engine, having a fire fighters suit made for him, and been
included in a practise drill.
Despite being ill all the time and in and out of hospital, he always wanted to go to school to see
his mates, especially Steven Chappel, he'd been best mates with him ever since nursery.
In April my mum and dad took Jordan for a scan and the doctors gave him the all clear, the cancer
had gone and that he was in remission.
Only 3 months later in July we booked a family holiday to cornwall, We all had a brilliant time,
Jordan was with one of his best mates, Alex.
When we arrvied home, Jordan became ill again, my mum and dad took him to the hospital for a scan
and it showed that the cancer had come back and he only had a few weeks left to live.
In september, everyone could tell he wasnt going to make it, he was getting weaker, he couldnt walk
and the rest is too painful to talk about, we went to candle lighters in bridlington (A place where
families with children with cancer can go for a break) for a week. When the week was up we went home
and packed some things, we went to a childrens hospice called Martin House.
We arrived at Martin House on friday,While we were there, Jordan was getting weaker and weaker and
on saturday my mum told me that he was going to die.
I went into his room said night-night love you, he said i love you back.my mum & dad stayed with
him all night & at 6 o clock on monday morning he woke up being sick , He fell unconcious and
didnt wake up, he died on wednesday morning 8.00am 25th september 2002 .
for the next 2 weeks we all stayed at martin house jordan was in a special room & we could go
& see him & talk to him any time we wanted.
At Jordans funeral some of the white watch fire fighters carried jordan into church in formal
uniform and carried him down to his grave, The chief fire officer of west yorkshire, Phil toase,
came to Jordans funeral aswell.
Nobody will get over what has happened. Its the worse thing that could happen to anybody.
He will always be in my heart.
Never Ever fogotton.
My little Angel always.
Love you Jordan xxx
Imagine....being locked in your own body.
Imagine.... not being able to speak, walk on your own, see or swallow, while still having cognitive
abilities and thoughts.
Imagine....waking everyday and experiencing the sensation of losing the use of a finger, toe, limb
at a pace that shuts down your entire body within weeks.
Imagine....you are trapped, without hope or without a lifeline to the outside world around you.
Now imagine....you are 9 years old and have a brain tumour.

I remember the day that you were born
So tiny and so sweet
I'd waited a whole nine months
For us to finally meet
And there you were all 8lb 11 oz
ten fingers and ten toes
With lovely skin ,chubby cheeks
And a cute little button nose.
The years went by
and you grew up
Getting older every year
And then came the doctors words
every parent dreads to hear.
I'm afraid your son has cancer
I'm sorry but its true
My world turned upside down that day
At the thought of losing you.
The tears they came
And you got sick
You struggled from the start
but you weren't giving up without a fight
And you fought with all your heart.
You fought with so much courage
You'd put grown men to shame
But it wasnt right
That at just nine
You had to suffer in so much pain.
I thought you were getting better jordan
But then more bad news again
I'm afraid jordans now terminal
As the cancer has spread more into his brain.
And that was it
all hope was gone
There was nothing more they could do
I had to face the facts
That i was definately gonna lose you.
I never told you,you were dying jordan
As you were only still nine
How could i tell you,you'd never see
The things you had not yet seen.
we brought you home
Where you belonged
Tried to make the most of everday
It isnt an easy thing to do
As i had to watch you slowly fade away.
In the end it proved too much
And your body grew so weak
The cancer finally took you
It took you in your sleep.
And when i saw you sleeping
With the look upon your face
I knew that you were now pain free
And were in a better place.
That doesn't make it any easier though
For me now that you're gone
I miss you so much everyday
And I'm so proud to be your Mum.
Love you forever babes. Xxxxxx
~~ A Golden Chain ~~
Friendship is a golden chain
the links are friends so dear
and like a rare and precious jewel
it's treasured more each year
It's clasped together firmly
with love that's deep and true
and it's rich with happy memories
and fond recollections too
Time can't destroy it's beauty
for as long as memory lives
years can't erase the pleasure
that the joy of friendship gives
For friendship is a priceless gift
that can't be bought or sold
but to have an understanding friend
is worth far more than gold
And the golden chain of friendship
is a strong and blessed tie
binding kindred hearts together
as the years go passing by
THANKYOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND
Love Always ~~ Jane...x♥x
~~ The Angels ~~
May angels rest beside your door
May you hear their voices sing
May you feel their loving care for you
May you hear their peace bells ring
May angels always care for you
And not let you trip and fall
May they bear you up on angels wings
May they keep you standing tall
May they whisper wisdom in your ear
May they touch you when you need
May they remove you from each trace of fear
May they keep you from feeling greed
May they fill you with their presence
May they show you love untold
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold
May they teach you what you want to know
About life here and here-after
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Angel In My Pocket ~~
I am a tiny angel
I'm smaller than your thumb
I live in peoples pockets
That's where I have my fun
I don't suppose you've seen me
I'm too tiny to detect
Though i'm with you all the time
I doubt we've ever met
Before I was an angel...
I was a fairy in a flower
God himself hand picked me
And gave me angel power
Now god has many angels
That he trains in angel pools
We become his eyes and ears and hands
We become his special tools
And because god is so busy
With way too much to do
He said that my assignment
Is to keep close watch on you
When he tucked me in your pocket
He blessed you with angel care
Then told me to never leave you
And I vowed always to be there
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Guardian Angels ~~
When angels sense you need them
and angels always do.....
they come unseen from everywhere
to help and comfort you
they hover close beside you
till all your cares are gone
till they can see you're ready
once again to carry on
Then some of them may fly away
and take their gentle touch
to other hearts that need
the love of angels very much
but one at least stays with you
as your constant friend and guide
for guardian angels never leave
they're always at your side
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
Lots Of Love Always ~~ Jane...x♥x
If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane
I would walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No farewell words were spoken
no time to say goodbye
you were gone before we knew it
and only god knows why
My heart still aches with sadness
and secret tears still flow
what it meant to lose you
no one will ever know
But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more
to remember all the happy times
life still has much in store
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
a hallowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay
Love & BIG (((HUGS))) ~~ Jane...x♥x

Friends are like flowers
Each unique in their own way
Put them all together
What a wonderful bouquet
Some are really brilliant
Full of light sharp and clear
While others are more subdued
To both you can adhere
You are a flower in my garden
That makes up my bouquet
My friends you all make
A very impressive display
Love Always ~~ Jane...x♥x
My heart is reaching out to you
for what you're going through
i'm thinking of you frequently

If theres something I can do
anything at all

and dont hesitate to call
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I want to tell you 'THANKYOU'

Please know I have deep feelings
about your generous act
I really appreciate you
you're special and thats a fact
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When you are sad..........I will dry your tears
When you are scared.....I will comfort your fears
When you are worried....I will give you hope
When you are confused..I will help you cope
And when you are lost....And cant see the light
I shall be your beacon....Shining ever so bright
This is my oath..............I pledge till the end
Why you may ask?.........Because you're my FRIEND

~~Angels Hugging Angels~~
Have you ever found a friend that just touches you deep inside
You feel a special bond that you simply cannot hide
You give them a piece of your heart, a view of what you are
Sometimes they live close to you, sometimes they live too far.
It really doesn't matter, you were friends from the start
Soon you realize their memory is a piece of your heart
You feel like they're an angel, placed here just for you
You are always amazed at the sweet things that they do.
You don't have to see them or talk to them every day
To know that God has sent them in His own special way
How else could you explain, this friendship and deep love
It must be an angel, sent from heaven above.
How can you love someone you've never really seen
The question you may ask, Is this just a dream?
Soon you realize, your feelings are quite sincere
Your friendship will continue year after year.
Funny when you talk you both seem to disagree
I think you're the angel and you think it is me
When you really look at it, you have to smile and say
The touching of our souls has taken place again today.
Tonight as I said my prayers, I prayed for my friend
I could not hardly wait until we talked once again
For God showed me the answer, it was really quite simple
A soul never sees a face, it would not recognize a dimple.
The feeling of love one feels for another friend
The feeling of wanting to be with each other again
Is the inner joy, that God places there
The love one feels on top of heaven's stairs.
So if you are lucky and you have found such a friend
Remember it is God, who lives deep within
It is God's wishes, to one day look to see
Angels Hugging Angels, perhaps it's you and me.
Love ~ Hugs ~ Kisses ~~ Jane...x♥x
Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved ones gone
those we love can never be
more than a thought apart
for as long as there is memory
they'll live on in the heart
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
There is a special place in our hearts
for those we have loved
for those who have loved us
without question, without a word or promise
there is a special place
where there is no pain or fear
where love flows freely
there is a special place to rest
in our hearts forever
You are always in my thoughts ~~ Love Jane...x♥x
I've listened to the footprints poem
a million times or more
of how when only one set shows
upon the sandy shore
it's the lord carrying us
and taking on our load
and his are the only set
of footprints that showed
But what if when we look
there are no footprints to be found?
all we see is plain and simple
sand upon the ground
no imprints showing that our lord
is carrying us through life
helping us when we feel
we can not handle all this strife
Where is my lord now that i've fallen
and can't seem to get back up?
so tired and lonely
trying to deal with what seems
an overflowing cup
where are those footprints
in the sand
to tell me he's right there?
helping me with problems
and showing that he really does care
Does he have favourites, OH NO
please tell me that's not so
but why does life seem easier
for some people that I know?
and sometimes I just scream out loud
although it seems in vain
but often gets harder each day
to deal with all this pain
And then it dawned on me
as I realize how simple could it be
I wonder why I was so blind
that I truly did not see
it must have been a lightening bolt
that one day gave me light
because out of the clear blue sky
I finally regained my sight
I saw a fluffy white cloud
shaped like an angel dear
that helped me to understand
and see things oh so clear
that's when I saw no footprints
and so often wondered why
my lord carried me on angel wings
when he decided to fly
Thinking of you always ~~ Love Jane...x♥x
I think about you every day
i miss the way life used to be
i miss your smile i used to see
i miss those times you and me
I wish i could be someone else
but that would mean no 'you'
so i must live this live of pain
without you my precious son
you made us laugh
you made us cry
who would ever thought
we'd have to say goodbye
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
