I knew Billy Jordan when I was a child in Patricks Cove . We both attended St Patricks School and St Patricks Church . Billy was one of the many foster children in Patricks Cove and all of us young children , who had the gift of parents, were clearly aware that the foster children did not have parents . We knew their lives were harder than ours. I always wished the best for Billy and all of the foster chidren whom I knew in Patricks Cove.. The name William is the name of a Patron Saint . St William the Patron Saint of Adopted and Abandoned Children . May Billy's soul rest in peace

Marys Magnificat ...For Billy Jordan
My soul magnifies the Lord
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;
Because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid;
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed;
Because He who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is His name;
And His mercy is from generation to generation
on those who fear Him.
He has shown might with His arm,
He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and has exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich He has sent away empty.
He has given help to Israel, his servant, mindful of His mercy
Even as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity forever.
