I am so grateful to know that my sister is happy now. I know she is dancing in heaven, and will probably never sit down again, as she was in a wheelchair most of her life. Please pray for her husband, William, who is having such a hard time. I love you Jord, and can't wait to see you again!!

God be with you
For those of you that know my family, I have some sad news to share. My sister Jordan passed away yesterday morning. She was born with Spina Bifida, and struggled a lot of her life. She was relatively healthy, but has had a few problems the last little while. She loved being married, and is leaving her darling husband, William. She passed peacefully in her sleep, which is a blessing. She is my only sister, and my heart is breaking that she is gone. I have already been through so much this month, I just wonder how much Heavenly Father thinks I can handle. My mother-in-law gave me a plaque that says, "Todays test is tomorrows testimony." I love that saying, and repeat it often. I know that things will get better, and that through my trials I will become stronger. I have come to terms that it is ok to be sad, to cry, and to miss those that have left us.

Oh Jana,
I am just so sorry. Cody just sent me an email with the news from Cory. Words just can't express my sorrow for your family. How hard this must be for all of you. Especially with your own loss earlier this month. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Jordan was such a sweet girl and I just loved her. I'm sure she is running and dancing right now!
May the Lord bless you and help you through this difficult time!
Love,
Kim
We all loved Jordan so much! She was so sweet. The thing I immediately thought of when I heard the news was that Judy, who loved her so much, is with her now, I am sure. And as much as Jordan loved babies, she has to be looking after your sweet baby for you.
We love you and are praying for you, for your mom and dad, for William, for your whole family. Love, Chris & Jeff Sedlacek
Well said Jana. I just keep thinking about how happy she must be right now without her body. I can't wait to see her again someday walking in her perfect body.
Jana,
I am heartbroken after reading this post. I loved Jordan so much. I will pray for her husband, you, and your family. I am so sad you have had to go through so much lately. I love you.
OH DEAR! Jana I am so...sorry! My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
Sweet Jana, I was so sad to hear your voice message from this morning. I too wonder why, in the first place these things happen, and secondly,...why at the same time!?! You are amazing and give so much to those you love. Sit back, take a breath, and then move forward.
Love, Sandy
Jana, I don't even know how I found your blog but I did and Im so glad because I want to tell you how sad I am to hear about Jordan.I can't even begin to imagine what you and your family are going through and how sad you must be to know that physically she is not here. Im glad to know that you know that you'll see her again. The gospel can hopefully bring you comfort in knowing that families are forever. I want you to know that Im thinking of you and praying for your family.
Jana I am so sorry. When Thayne told me what happened I couldn't believe it. You have gone through so much this past month. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Jana.. we all loved Jordan too. She is such a sweet girl. You two are very lucky to be sisters. I'm glad to know you've got someone you love up there watching over little Matthew for a while.
We love you guys so much. I wish I could take all your tears and pain away.
Jana, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.I agree with everyone that your sister is up in heaven taking good care of Matthew until you are with him again. It is definitely ok to cry and I'd be more than happy to watch your kids if you need a long tissue session or a chance to get away. Call me-even if it's last minute. Nikkie
Jana, I came across your blog from Lara's and I just wanted to tell you how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Jordan was an amazing girl, and I feel really blessed that I knew her. I will always remember her sunny smile and her perseverance. I was sad I didn't get to talk to you at the viewing. I should have stopped chatting for a minute and come and tracked you down! Please know that your family and William are in my prayers.
Also, I am so very sorry to hear about your sweet little boy. Oh, Jana. This is so much to deal with. What a special son he is - waiting with his Aunt Jordan to welcome everyone back home. May you feel the comfort only the Savior can provide, and find peace in knowing that so many people love you and are praying for you.

Price- so good to see you yesterday- such a beautiful funeral. You all did such a wonderful job! My heart breaks for you at this time- but so glad that we have the knowledge that we do, to get us through times like this! I love you and your sweet family- our prayers are with you!
Love,
Hancey!
Jana,
I am so sorry for the challenges in your life right now. My heart goes out to you and your family. It is in times like these that the gospel really pulls us through. We will keep your family in our prayers. I also really like the saying "When life gets to hard to stand - Kneel" May the lord help you through these trying times.
