This is a note from Mom,
This last week has been a very emotional roller coaster for me and Ross.
Jordan's best friend (Logan) has been working with Ross, last Thursday they were in the truck talking and Logan told Ross about a car accident that had happened the night before. Logan was detoured around the accident on his way home from the Flowrider downtown. While Ross and Logan were together Logan received the news that it was a friend of both Logan and Jordan, Derek Jasper. Ross said Logan was very emotional.
Derek and another young man on their way home from a church ball game when the accident occured during a police chase and their car was t-boned, a red light was run by the suspects of home burglaries. There has been a lot in the papers and all over the news. Derek's obiturary came out over the weekend. Both of the young men were going on missions. Derek was to get his call the day after tomorrow.
Truly makes me grateful for the gospel and the plan of salvation. My heart breaks for their parents. Ross was reading Derek's obituary and through his tears commented that with just a few minor changes, it could easily be Jordan that they were talking about, the similarities were unreal. I know that Heavenly Father is with these families, they have commented on how sorry they feel for the suspects families.
I sent Jordan a package today, stuff for the plane ride and maybe some stuff to ease my anxiety, and his garments he asked for. I also included Derek's obituary, not sure how he will take it, I hope that someone is there to give him a hug...
To the families, I hope that Heavenly Father will continue to bless them with comfort and the knowledge that they will see their sons again....
