What a lovely lady Ms. Noah was. I closed my office recently and found a sketch she did for me. I will cherish it forever.
Rest in peace now with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Ms. madeline was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. I loved to talk to her about her previous life. She had done so many things. very interesting. I wish I could have gotten one of her paintings, but what I found was above my pocket book limit. she was a great artist. She did draw me a little cartoon one day and signed it. I am going to frame it. She was precious and will be missed a lot. Love to the family. Oh the things she has seen and the things she is seeing now. She won't be stooped over anymore. She can walk straight. She was beautiful and is beautiful now. Charlene Mills.
