This video montage features highlights from the memorial gathering of friends and family which was held at Hotel Eldorado in Kelowna, British Columbia on December 16, 2017 to honor Jordan’s life. Over 100 guests were in attendance with tributes to Jordan offered by cousins, family members, and friends.
Additional video clips of Jordan were added to this video montage as a way to help us all re-member Jordan and his unique and beautiful character that we loved and treasured (and which neither the consequences of TBI or addiction could steal from him or from us).
This quote from Maria Popova, in her review of a moving book about grief by British children’s book writer and poet Michael Rosen, captures the sentiments of this memorial video so well:
“What emerges is a breathtaking bow before the central paradox of the human experience — the awareness that the heart’s enormous capacity for love is matched with an equal capacity for pain, and yet we love anyway and somehow find fragments of love even amid the ruins of loss.”
We miss you so much, Jo!
