What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye. But little by little, we begin to remember not just that you are gone, but that you LIVED... and that your life gave us wonderful memories too beautiful to forget!!!! ... Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in times of sorrow.... I love and miss you very much Noanie bird and I will cherish every moment God allowed me to share with you!

Strength in her voice, love in her heart and a twinkle in her eye! Her family was the essence of her life. I know Jesus is happy that she is with Him now. I will miss you beloved friend and confidant! Love, Kathy
