Jordan Freeman killed in riding accident

[Tamet Gould]

In  case you didn't hear, Jordan Freeman of Glen Rose was killed last night in a freak accident at home.  Everyone sees Jordan and her twin brother Jarrett run at the Pro-Youth rodeos, Region III and barrel races.  They are six years old.  Jordan's horse slipped and they fell and the horn apparently ruptured her spleen.  No news yet on the funeral but I expect it to be in Granbury.  Jordan and Jarrett are the twin children of Sissy and Todd Freeman.  Please pray for their family.  They are wonderful people and Jordan will be missed by everyone.  She was a little doll and everyone who knew her loved to be around her. 


Folks when I receive funeral arrangements I will post them also.  If you know please let me know so I can post for everyone else.

O' my gosh that is so sad. My heart and prayers go to the family. I have family in Glen Rose.  He is close to my cousins age

   So sorry for this tragedy, my heart and prayers go out to the family. I just went to a funeral yesterday for a dear friend that was only 20 years old who was killed in a car accident over the weekend. I've also lost my sister in an accident as well. Just remember god needed a little cowgirl.

My heart goes out to this family. So sad, the same thing happened to my niece 2 years ago when she was 7 years old. but GOD was with her and she ended up having a blood clot over the tear in her spleen which kept her from bleeding internally. That blood clot saved her life. It was nearlly 24 hours before they even new what was wrong. We never expected a little fall off her welch pony could do that kind of harm and  again it was the saddle horn that she hit. So any one reading this keep this in mind when you see small children fall off their horse or hit their stomach on the horn. They are just the right size for that saddle horn to get them in the stomach and you may not think it is that big of a deal. We didn't, we thought that it just scared her and knocked the breath out of her.
I'm so sorry for this family's loss and I'll say a prayer for you.

The visitation is tonight (Friday) from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Wiley Funeral Home in Granbury.  The funeral will be at 2:00 on Saturday at the Tolar Baptist Church and Jordan will be buried at the Stroud's Creek Cemetery on Tolar Highway going west out of Tolar.  Jarrett (her twin brother) went to 6 kindergarten classes yesterday with his step-sister and told all them what happened to his sister without crying.  Sissy & Todd are as well as can be expected.  Please say a prayer for them.

He is being so strong... That made me cry!

Does anybody have any info on funds that may be set up somewhere for the family? 

[sjerrett]

Hey - let's put on something and raise some money or whatever Sissy & Todd want.  We can find out later and find an arena close somewhere.  OK? Maybe a kid's barrel race or something along that line.  Any ideas?  A scholarship fund for Jarrett?  Anything we can do.

[sstevenson]

That's a great idea!  That could become an annual memorial barrel race for youth!  Let something good come out of a terrible tragedy and keep her memory living in each of us.  I'm willing to help!  Maybe Glen Rose arena would be willing to donate their facilities since the family is from there.  That is a great arena and draws plenty of contestants!
