My prayers go out to the Tinsley family. Jordan was such a sweet person and I am thankful for the time i was able to share with her working at Food Lion together.

I pray your family is comforted by God during this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jordan’s family. I have seen Jordan throughout her school age years grow up as my youngest daughter, Angel was in most of her classes as early as Kindergarten. Jordan had a vibrant contagious smile and was always kind when she spoke to us. Was very fortunate to see her quite often and her Darren whom she loved dearly and his little man. May God wrap his loving arms around each one of you and give you the comfort you need to get through these days ahead.
