Ode to the U - Fundraising Jam for Class of 88' Daniel Jordan and Family
Dana Pitts Armour
On June 17, 2015, Daniel Jordan (University City High Class of 88') and his family survived a devastating fire that engulfed their home and consumed their material goods. We are THANKFUL and BLESSED that the most prized possessions, Daniel Sr, Candace, Daniel Jr., Drew, and Chantal, were spared from physical harm and that their positive Spirits remains in tact.
Daniel and his wife Candace are remarkable in their face of loss by projecting a shield of faith, strength, and courage for their children, family, friends, corporate comrades and community.
What sparks love? A connection of the soul. Friendship. In a Facebook Post, Daniel Jordan via Jon Katz laid out words that struck a cord in my heart. "“I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, and don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff."
