• Jordan was the best son we could ever have hoped for and we had 18 wonderful years with him;
• Our family loves Jordan as much today as the day we dropped him off for college and we hold him in our hearts as strong as ever;
• The Cal Poly family embraced Jordan as one of their own and have stood with us in grief and joy of celebrating his life;
• The community that was there with Jordan that rushed to his side and continue to reach out and support us each day;
• The 18,500+ caring people who signed the petition to eliminate the El Campo death trap;
• The local community and Cal Poly family that will show up to stand for Jordan at the SLOCOG meeting on Dec 5 at 8am to say enough is enough (Board Chambers on the first floor at 1055 Monterey St. in San Luis Obispo)

Today that is why I am thankful.
