In Memory

                  Of

          Jordan Lee Meredith Vincent

                (Bright Eyes)

            • Jordan was born November 5,1990

            he went back to Heaven on

            January 12,1991. He died from SIDS

            (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)

            Honey, I still love you and miss you

            as much as ever.

            After we lost Jordan and on the eve of his first birthday I wrote this story for him.

              "Happy Birthday In Heaven"

          Out in the green fields with the sea of wildflowers,play all the little children in Heaven. Some climbing the big oak tree,some chasing one another and laughing with glee. Some excercising their newly-found wings as they fly around,playing hide and seek with each other.

          On a hillside nearby stands a kind and gentle man as, with a smile,he overlooks all the children at play. He watches as his Angel helpers hold the newborn babies and sing lullabies as only angels can sing.

          Then Jesus holds up his hands and asks everyone's attention,and all of a sudden the children all run and fly to him and gather at his feet,wanting to listen to his every word.

          He tells them how today is a special day for one of His little ones,and then He calls out "Jordan Vincent,where are you?" Then one of His Angel helpers steps forward and hands Jordan to Him. "You have grown so much Jordan. Today,boys and girls, is Jordan's Birthday."

          Then all the children got so excited,for they knew it WAS a Special Day. Then Jesus explained to Jordan how, on the children's First birthday in Heaven, they get their wings. Then Jesus touched Jordan's small back and like magic, Jordan's tiny wings appeared. Then, like a bird,Jordan flew all around Heaven,laughing and giggling,happy as could be. Then once again Jesus called to him and Jordan flew into His arms. "Now their is another gift I must give you, and that is the endless love from your Family on earth. I know you love your new wings,and your new friends,and your new life,but I wanted you to know the greatest gift of all... the gift of love only a family can give. Happy Birthday Jordan."

          Then all the children and Angels in Heaven began singing "Happy Birthday" to Jordan.

          Happy Birthday Jordan,we all love you and miss you.
