JORDON LYON
10
Jordon was 10 when he gave his life to save his drowning step-sister.
Jordon Lyon jumped into a pond in Wigan when Bethany, eight, got into difficulties.
Two anglers saw Bethany `clinging' on to Jordon as he tried to reach the side.
John Collinson, 63, and Albert Wright, 66, used a rod and a net in a bid to save them.
Albert waded in and took hold of Bethany but Jordon slipped underneath the water.
Jordon was a year six pupil at Beech Hill Primary School, Wigan.
His step-father Anthony Ganderton, 39, and a friend, raced to the scene off Wigan Lower Road, in the Standish Lower Ground district of Wigan, and recovered Jordon from the 6ft 5ins deep pond, a former mine pit known locally as John Pit. Signs warning people not to swim had been vandalised.
Paramedics fought to revive Jordon, who was not breathing, and he was airlifted to the Royal Preston Hospital. He later died at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Pendlebury.
Jordon is a hero.
I knew you for a little while at primary school. Always chatting, playing football and looking out for your little brothers Brandon & Haydon.
I will remember you as a little boy who loved his brothers and looking after them came naturally, even then. You had a quite respecful way as well as being a popular lad in the playground. Couldn't belive the news when i heard. Sent a shiver down my spine to know someone like you was taken, and maybe it could of been prevented.
It is hard to understand the circumstances in which your life was lost Jordon, you were so so brave and gave no thought for your own safety. I would like to think that is the way I would be, if confronted with similar circumstances. No matter if i were trained or untrained. I would hope my moral reponsibility to help a drowning person, let alone a child would be my instinct. Im sorry i wasn't there to help you angel.
Your family miss you so much.
Hope your in a better place sweetheart. Sleep tight.X
Hello little lad,
I am sorry i didn't make it for xmas to see u but i am here now, ur not forgotten Jordan, u were loved and are still talked about to this day, godbless u sweetheart and keep u in his care.....xxx
X From me to you X Lots of Love Angel Above X
Do you really belive it?
Can it really be true?
How can you belive that! Life has ended with death???
It simply is not true.
So we cannot be together like we used to.
Does that mean i am gone?
Now i dance on the moon.
I play on the stars.
I cool your face with gentle wind.
While watching you from afar.
For a love and bond.
Like our's is so very strong.
It will forever carry on and on xxx
♥ღ♥ I Dreamt Of A Place ♥ღ♥
♥ღ♥ I dreamt of a place much
Like heaven..
Somewhere between a
Dream and a vision..
Colors are deep,
Bursting with life..
I heard the children
Laughter
I heard the angel sing...
I dreamt of a place much
Like heaven,
Somewhere between a
Dream and a vision
Way beyond the clouds
And the bluest sky..
The roads are made of gold
The gate is a rainbow made
From the crystal raindrops
That sparkling of colors that
Shine from the sun
My soul was as a child in
These places of dreams are
Maybe just a vision,
In my mind, it was heaven
Paradise…
I have earned my wings with
Tips of gold...
I drench my thirst from the
Fountain of love…
I dreamt of a place much like
Heaven…
That sparkles with crystal
Raindrops…
My spirit, my soul my piece
Of heaven...
I dreamt of this place much
Like heaven..
Are maybe a vision ♥ღ♥

The span between life and death
can be as quick and sudden
as a puff of wind
that blows out a candle.
But the candle does not suffer
after darkness comes.
It is the person
left in the dark room
who gropes and stumbles.
†[♥]† Thinking of you Angel †[♥]†
†[♥]† If we could have a lifetime wish †[♥]†
†[♥]† And one dream that could come true
†[♥]† We would pray to God with all our hearts
†[♥]† Just to see and speak to you
†[♥]† A thousand words won't bring you back
†[♥]† We know because we've tried
†[♥]† And neither will a million tears
†[♥]† We know because we've cried.
†[♥]† You've left behind our broken hearts
†[♥]† And precious memories too.
†[♥]† But we never wanted memories
†[♥]† We only wanted you.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ GOODNIGHT,GOD BLESS Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

hiya lad,
I didn,t know you Jordan but I knew ur stepdad Anthony most of my life so I,ve heard lots about what happened to you and also other stories from other kids off our estate that knew you. I like to come and visit you and light a little candle for you so your not lonely and you know that people care. You were taken because god must have had bigger plans for you and I truly believe your sat at the right hand of our lord and that he cares for you deeply and one day when it,s my turn to come through those pearly gates,I,m going to come and find you and say "I's me that silly waoman from GTS"! You just rest in peace now sweetheart safe from harm. Lots of love Dawn...xxx
