Jordan’s Poem:

It was...
It was your voice that traveled through my mother's voice that gave me strength
It was...
It was your voice that battled tough battles and gave no voice, and that made you win
It was...
It was your voice that mattered the most, hearing what's the matter Jordache made me grin
It was...
It was your voice that God ordered us to trust and with that trust i gave no lip
It was...
It was your voice that taught me the only voice you need is his
It was...
It was your voice that yelled turn that fan off you ain't paying no bills
It was...

It is...
It is your voice within me and with that being said Amen
It is...
It is your voice that come through the speakers when the old jams playing
It is...
It is your voice that comforts me when I'm going against the wind
It is...
It is your voice that I hear and won't question what I understand
It is...
It is your voice that teaches my voice to spread knowledge, wisdom and understanding
It is...
It is your voice that speaks when I'm hurt always make me get back on my ten
It is...
It is your voice that protect me from trouble reminding me where I done been

Although I walk through the valley of shadow and death it was your voice that helped me battle the stress,
Although I walk through this valley of shadow and death, it is your voice that reminds me I shall fear no evil
As I walk through the valley of shadow and death my heart follows that noise, that noise that only comes from belief, believing that God sends his strongest angels to fight his toughest battles, you fought yours and
It was, it is, Always your voice that helps me fight mine

Love Your Jordache

in honor of Brenda.

To my wonderful and amazing family, I am extremely saddened that I am not there in person to celebrate the life of my beautiful, caring, sister Brenda.

She and I spoke often, so I got to truly know her.

My sister had a wonderful unique sense of humor, often times she’d end our conversation with, I’ve got a joke for you, and she proceeded to tell me a joke or a riddle.

Brenda had a relationship with God, she was always concerned about pleasing him. At first, She felt so unworthy, she like so many of us made mistakes and because of those mistakes she didn’t feel forgiven, but one day after one of our conversations, she realized that she was forgiven, and the only person who hadn’t forgiven her was herself. I reminded her that the only person she should be concerned about was our Lord and Savior’s Forgiveness. I think she finally got it.

Because of her relationship with God and a desire to serve him, she found a wonderful church home. A church that made her feel like family, a church She loved and a church who loved her. I was overjoyed when the pastor shared with me that she had taken her life experiences and was using it to minister to others. This is truly our mission and purpose, to draw others to Christ through our testimony and she did that.

Brenda also loved her family and was always concerned about their well-being. She did not want to be a burden to anyone. I thank God that her family, especially Ebony, did not feel that way. I thank you Ebony from the bottom of my heart for taking care of my sister. I thank you because of your desire to care for her she was able to spend her last days in her home surrounded by love.

My last and final thought, is that out of our many many conversations we would often end with “who loved who the most”. She would say, "I love you, and I would say, I love you more." Her response was No No No, I love you more and I would say “ I loved you first,” and that would be the end of “Who loved Who the most,” sometimes, I would concede and just let her win.

Thank you, God, for giving me Brenda for 76+ years.

So, in conclusion I want to make it known to all: Brenda, “I love you more and I will miss you dearly.”
