The grave of Vardon Jordan Jordan |

the
inscription on Gregory Paul Jordan's grave is legible but dirty.
In loving memory of Gregory Paul Jordan LL.D.
of Hong Kong
who passed away on December 4th 1921
His Word Is His Bond.
However, at the time I visited I found the grave to be doubled up
with another monument on top belonging to Mary Teresa Kennedy. I
enquired with the cemetery superintendent who told me that it was only a
temporary arrangement whilst they interred some remains in her grave.
Gregory Jordan's grave will soon be returned to normal.
In the register, which is held at the cemetery office the entry for
Gregory Jordan states "This grave is not to be re-opened see "important
letters". Jordan 24.2.1923". However, there were no
documents attached to the register entry so I don't know what was in the
"important letters". |

"Darling Father how we loved you
How we would have kept you here
but our Heavenly Father wished you
in His presence to appear
where we hope some day to meet you
when our days on earth are fled
and in joy in heaven to greet you
where no parting tear is shed"
On the stone lying on its side in
the top picture it says
In ever
fond and loving
memory of
our beloved father |
