I will miss one of my most adventuresome Uncles. He always tried to be the most knowledgeable about anything he ever did. He definitely liked to tell stories and he always had an audience to listen. I will miss his spirit and know he is now with those family who have gone before him to the great upstairs.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will ask our Prayer Team to recite the Kiddush on Tuesday evening. I send live, prayers and the reminder that Yeshua reigns and He IS returning soon.

Dad, my last words to you were, "and I will miss you most of all." This was one week ago when you said you were dying and this time I thought you were right and the nurse agreed. She asked if you needed permission to let go and said everyone loved you and would miss you. You responded "I believe that" to my words. You were ready to go and stop suffering. Although I'm glad you are no longer suffering, it's true, I'll miss you the most. Hoping you are experiencing true freedom now.

I took care of Noah when he was a patient of mine @ St. Joe Hospital. One thing I always admired about Noah was his ability to tell a story & his keen sense of humor. He had an adventurous spirit & had many interests & hobbies he liked to share. He was notorious for his one liners & there were times that you could hear us both sharing a laugh that could be heard from the hallway. May he rest in peace & may he continue to share those one liners with the Man Upstairs. Peace & comfort to his wife Janice & his family.

Sincerely,

Mary Allison
